AGM- 2nd February 2023

Our AGM last month was particularly poignant. After reporting on last year’s successful events to celebrate the Club’s 60th Anniversary, Mary Duff retired as Chair.

Mary has been a stalwart of the Gardening Club for over three decades and has served as Chair for 17 years. Her record is outstanding and under her leadership and guidance, the club has flourished. Mary has always had a close hand in organising the club’s varied programme of interesting speakers. In addition, for many years, she arranged the annual coach holidays to visit well-known gardens and unusual private ones all over the country. In gratitude for her long and distinguished service, Mary was appointed Honorary President of the Fowlmere and Thriplow Gardening Club and presented with an engraved vase and a bouquet of flowers. The club also gave its thanks to Ken Allsworth for his invaluable contribution as he retired from the Committee.

Rosemary Jones was elected as the new Chair, Hanna Roberts as Vice Chair with Judy Murch, Margaret Jackson, Jill Vinton, Heather Scally re-elected as Committee Members.

After the formalities, members enjoyed an entertaining quiz which covered a variety of topics along with a glass of wine and nibbles. Michael Pollard won first prize in the snowdrop competition.
