\u00a0The evening of the Club\u2019s AGM was one of those nights when you just didn\u2019t want to leave your own home – the cold and the rain were just too much to face and unfortunately many did just that and we had a much smaller meeting than usual.\u00a0 This did not worry us – the interesting reports of the past year started what proved to be a most entertaining evening.\u00a0 As Chair I am pleased to say that I can keep that title for another year and am joined on the 2018 Committee by Ken Allsworth, Jenny Brew, Margaret Jackson,\u00a0 Bernard Meggitt, Judy Murch, Sue Pinner, Michael Pollard, Joan Smith and Jill Vinton – splendid colleagues, one and all.\u00a0 Of course there are so many others who have helped and con-tinue to offer their support – I am thinking in particular of Marion Hughes and Veronica Wolfe as well as Robin Cox and Barry Jones who sadly stepped down from the Commit-tee this year.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One person that I cannot omit from this hall of fame is Glen Link who is not only the brains behind the Annual Show Day but also devises our annual quiz.\u00a0 This year we tackled questions on general knowledge, wildlife anagrams as well as a testing round of plant identification – could you have recognised a sarcococca?\u00a0 Well we did and I was lucky enough to be on the winning team along with Gill Perry, Chris Stanton, Doug Radford and Peter Duff (who?)\u00a0 We were very pleased with our prizes of beautifully wrapped bags of Ferrero Roche chocolates.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So now we start another Club year – have a look at the Club\u2019s website: thriplow.org.uk\/gardening-club<\/strong> to see our programme planned for 2018.\u00a0 Our first meeting will be very special – it took more than a year to persuade the Curator of Hyde Hall to find a date to come and talk to the Club – don\u2019t miss Robert Brett – here at Fowlmere Village Hall on Thursday 1 March We also hope to arrange another weekend break\u00a0 – check ‘Active Items’ on website for more details.<\/div>\n
