Welcome to our programme page for 2021. As the Coronavirus pandemic continues we do not know when we will be able to have our monthly meeting which are usually held on the 4th Tuesday of most months in Llanrhaeadr Public Hall, SY10 0JY. We don't meet in July, August and December. Instead we visit gardens by car, coach or even members' own gardens by foot. In July we host a summer social at a venue to be arranged and in December we have a Christmas party.
UPDATE
We managed to hold our AGM on Zoom and one of our favourite speakers, Razvan Chisu did a ZOOM talk for us. This continued with more ZOOM talks, with Sue Bosson, reviving her Millenium Seed Bank Project talk in February. We booked Kevin Pratt for next year.
