Annual General Meeting
Friday 8 February.

35 members attended the AGM, which was well received.  Sadly Martin and Mary wished to stand down from the committee and they were presented with a bottle of wine and a bouquet of flowers. They have been replaced on the committee by Godfrey Lewis, Joanna and Derek Gardiner.

The accounts are still healthy with a current balance of £2933.16p, these were accepted  by Josie Clarke and seconded by Mary Phipps.

The new year programme was well received and the intention to hold Open Gardens in June 2014 was announced. A meeting for Sub-committee was arranged for Tuesday 09 April.

Here is an urgent piece of information from them:

“We have agreed with a local supplier a rate of £0.6150 pence per litre plus 5% vat for orders of 500 litres or more in all DT postcodes regardless of club level. This rate is valid for orders placed and paid for by 8.00am Wed Morning (12th December). Delivery will be within 14 days! Please note suppliers have asked us to stick to the cut off time due to current levels of demand and the supplier DOES charge for the use of a credit card. Our next order by date will be the 6th January 2013 after this order. “
