MID SOUTHERN DAFFODIL GROUP NOVEMBER 2018
ALEX BURKE
With the disappointment of having to cancel our Daffodil show, due to the weather affecting and delaying flowers, behind us we held our autumn meeting and bulb sale at Virginia Water.
With a reduced quantity of bulbs available, the meeting commenced with the usual banter and chatter as our members congregated around the tables and the sound of coins falling into the coffers (music to our treasurer’s ears as we had to pay full charge for the cancelled hall booking ) our two hard working, but cheerful, ladies Garry and Kath, kept us supplied with a regular supply of tea and cake throughout the meeting
We welcomed two new members to our group, Howard Cooper and Kieth Hine and wish them both a long and happy association with us.
The raffle, including selected bulbs and various donations concluded the day’s event as our members departed to commence the task of potting and planting their new acquisitions, hoping for prize winning blooms next year.
Our next event will (hopefully) be our group show which will be held on Sunday31 March 2019, at our Cobham venue. Our chairman, Vic Coe, wishes to records his thanks to the committee and helpers who willingly give up their time to ensure that our group’s continuing success.
Our group sends its regards to all society members and wish one and all a successful year ahead both in health and the exhibiting of their blooms, both at national and local shows.
