AGM and early show at Denton Community Centre on Sunday 8 March 2015

A warm welcome to all northern growers to the AGM 2015. You have all been contacted by Chris Bone, by post, but there has been a slight change in the programme since.

The day’s events are as follows:
10 am Staging of blooms
11.30 am Committee Meeting
12.30 pm Lunch
1.30 pm AGM (main item to be discussed – new display boards for out of season events).
3.00 pm We have been invited to visit the growing area of the local Denton Chrysantemum Society (it is nearby) which should be very interesting. We had an illustrated talk, by Ken Harrop recently but it is always good to see how the successful exhibitors grow their bulbs.
3 – 4pm this timing will depend on how long it will take to visit the glasshouses – tea and biscuits
5.00 Meeting ends.
