president’s perspective
Hello all, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Whilst the
summer break has seen a mixture of hot and cooler days the strong winds have been challenging in the garden. Normally hardy plants have been affected with the drying effects of the wind and I have needed to hand water often. A few plants have not survived but my salvias have continued to grow as have the geraniums and pelargoniums.
Our last meeting for the year was a wonderful event with many of our life and foundation members attending. It was lovely to see Jeanne Black and Jenny Haslam in our audience. As usual, Steve Wood did a wonderful
presentation on his new home in Augusta. The display boards showing
events of the last 25 years were viewed by many and once again I thank
Jillian Adams, Jacques Maissin and Jan Russell-Brown for their hard work in getting this prepared for the celebration.
On our website there are a number of photos from the November 2018 meeting.
A major event for this year will be the visit of Sophie Thomson in April. Sheryl Ridout and Ro Birrell are busy organising it all and I hope that many of you are able to attend her presentation to be held at the Zoo conference centre.
I have a busy year of travelling planned for 2019 and I have decided not to stand as President at the Annual
General Meeting in March. I have enjoyed my time as President of this very successful club and thank you all for your support over the last two years. I hope to stay on the committee in a lesser position and I wish our new President and Committee a successful 2019.
