Pucklechurch Gardeners Club
Pucklechurch Gardeners' Club has been running successfully since 1976, meeting every first Wednesday in the month from October to December, then February to May. Meetings are held in the Community Centre 8.00pm, with tea/coffee available. Visitors are welcome to come along for 2 meetings at £1.00 per visit. Subscriptions on joining are currently £12.00 per annum, payable at the AGM.
We have a monthly fun competition, and the person with most points throughout the year is awarded the ' Frank Bradley Trophy'. The trophy is in memory of founder member, President & Treasurer.
The annual subscription includes 5 quality guest speakers, a Christmas Supper/quiz, and a Summer Supper held in the garden of a willing member.
In May the club holds the Annual General Meeting when the new committee is voted on, & at the December meeting, we invite members plus a guest to a Christmas Supper & quiz evening.
In late June or early July we organise a day coach trip to visit a garden, and every other year a 2 night Hotel stay, which enables us visit a variety of gardens further away.
