Read MoreDear Members,
Just a reminder regarding the trips and the Annual Dinner mentioned in the President's Letter and arranged for this year.
Click here to download (PDF) details of the trips to Dibley's Nursery on 9th May 2015 and Eaton Hall Gardens on 19th July 2015. This also includes a booking form for both trips, which should be completed and returned to me as soon as possible.
The Eaton Hall Gardens trip is one of only four allowed by the Duchess this year and we have been very fortunate to obtain this exclusive Guided Tour of the gardens.
The trip to Dibley's Nursery is the only way you can obtain a plant to grow on for the August Show, with a chance of winning the President's Shield.
Both events are strictly limited and are selling fast, so it must be 'first-come-first-served'.
Also, click here to download a copy (PDF) of the menu for the Annual Dinner, taking place on 20th May at the Golden Lion, Rossett. If you would like to come, please complete the form at the bottom of the document and return it to me no later than 30th April 2015.
If you need any further information, please email me on info@brhs.org.uk, or use the comments section below.
