Frampton Gardening Club

On May 30th 2024 Frampton Gardening club held their AGM and flower competition. The official business was conducted first, with reports from the Chairman, secretary and acting Treasurer. A new Committee member was proposed and seconded and the existing committee was also re-elected. Members had taken in a single flower from their gardens for the competition, which is judged ‘blind’ by last year winner of the commemorative plate. The winning flower was an arum lily brought in by Maggie Welberry, so the plate was awarded to her. During the interval and judging, we enjoyed a supper and had a bit of fun with a quiz.

The June meeting was by way of an open garden and afternoon tea at Maggie and Pat Welberrys home. We had a lovely afternoon, enjoying the garden; we had a few competitions and a raffle, all together with a delightful tea, which included fresh strawberries and cream, which had been prepared by some hard working members.

On July 2nd, we had a trip to the botanical Gardens in Cambridge. We had booked seats on the Phil Haines coach, instead of hiring a coach ourselves, and this was very successful. The weather was kind to us and there were a few bags of plants going back on the coach with us!

Our August meeting will have taken place before the Kirton magazine goes out, but if anyone would like to join us for our September 26th meeting at Frampton Village Hall you will be most welcome. We start at 7.30pm. Our speaker is going to talk about the History of Kew Gardens. The first meeting is free. We pay £1 at the door after that, and a one year subscription is £15 which we pay every August. If you join part way through our year, the subscription is reduced accordingly. We have a raffle, a Bring and Buy table, plus tea and coffee which we just take a donation for.
