Our November speaker was Richard Ayers, who until he retired was the Head Gardener at Anglesey Abbey. His talk was entitled "Who wants to be a Gardener" and he showed slides of four local gardens, the development and planting of which he has been involved in. The slides were excellent and all those present went home wondering how on earth they could make their own gardens just a bit like Mr Ayers own. Although the weather outside was foggy and grim we had an excellent turn out for the evening and hopefully everyone who came thought it was well worth leaving the fire and the telly for.

Then on Friday, 25th November we had our Annual General Meeting, when all the necessary business was concluded quickly and satisfactorily, followed by cheese and wine. About twenty of our members attended and, judging by the buzz of conversation and laughter, we all enjoyed ourselves!!
