Gardening Tips

Adam Frost from Gardeners’ World was being interviewed on the radio on Saturday. He advised not to plant anything in the garden until you see weeds starting to grow. (Mother Nature knows best?!)

 

On this morning’s news, it was advised there would be less slugs around this year. Good news for gardeners although the Monday slugs help the ecosystem. (Mother Nature again)

Club Triples Finalists

Congratulations to Pat, Will & Andy on winning their quarter-final v Tricia, Barry & Teresa this morning, the Karen & the two Brian’s in the semi-final this afternoon.
In the final, they face Dawn, Ange & Dave who scraped through their first match by a measure the width of a pin head v Peter J, Ian D & Steve yesterday; a good game v Di, Dick & Ann B in a close quarter-final this morning (until we took a 6 at the back end of the match); then went on to beat David M, Victor & Alasdair in the semi-final this afternoon.
Well played everyone. It was a really good weekend.

Thanks to Peter J, Julian, Alasdair and others who took turns manning the bar.
Special thanks to Mastermind Stella S, with the aid of Brian C’may & Dave Redington for organisation and with added Jacqui in the kitchen both days. Excellent home made sandwiches, muffins and cakes and a plentiful supply of mugs of tea.
We really appreciated all your time and effort in making the weekend run so smoothly.
Hope you’ve all got your feet up now!
