Details of the 2019 meetings of H.H.Society

                   The Hailsham Horticultural Society 2019

Comments from our Chairman Sue Wilson

We have had a varied year of speakers and enjoyed hearing about ponds,wild flowers and meadows, windmills, bonsai and finished with a very good talk from Doctor Colin Tourle.
     We are putting our subscriptions up this year to £10.00 which is very reasonable compared to other groups.
      I would like to thank Sheila and Bernie for all of their hard work as they are stepping down this year. Sadie will be taking on the role of Speaker Secretary and Diana will be replacing Sheila as Show Secretary. Jacky will become Vice-Chair.
     Once again two very good shows.
                                Lets keep it up.
                                       Sue Wilson Chairman.
