Please bring along any month:
Plants you wish to be identified,
Plants in flower,
Plants with which you are havng particular problems, and
Plants for the table show as indicated in the schedule
Above all, please try and attend whenever possible as small groups quickly become unviable and dissappear.
This is now the only working branch between Teesside and Fife. Our nearest branches are York, Glasgow and the Fylde Coast.
As we rely on people travelling hundreds of miles, the schedule may be changed without notice.
Most meetings we have a speaker, a visual presentation, table shows and time for discussion with like-minded folk.
Dates that are underlined indicate that we are sharing a speaker with our sister branch at Teesside the previous evening (Wednesday). This enables members to hear 2 consecutive but entirely different talks.
