Our last meeting was the AGM; I think there were 19 members there.
Adrian said this would be the last meeting he would be chairman but no body was to cry! He thanked everyone who had helped with the club over the years. He couldn’t remember how many years he had been in the club but it must have been over 15 years. He reminisced about how we used to meet in Warminster library, then to Boreham Rd which we soon outgrew. But the more he talked about the old days the sadder I felt.
December’s competition for the Hank Yarde Trophy rounds off the season with the aptly named subject of a Bonsai decorated in the Christmas Style. 7 entries were submitted by the following club members:
Ross, Amelia, Sandra, Sally, Clive H., Derek & Clive K.
Sandra was a clear winner (see picture of Sandra accepting trophy from Adrian) with Derek second and Amelia, Clive H and Clive K joint 3rd. Well done to you all.
The final results for tree of the month for 2011 will be announced at the January AGM. Derek
A big smiley badge to all those who spotted my mistake last month in the newsletter, but then at least with two Decembers in a year we may be ready for Christmas! Our next meeting is the AGM so please make an effort to attend, the actual business part does not take long and it is important for the future well-being of the club. This is also the first of many posts on our new club website which we hope to continue adding to as the year progresses so watch this space.
