Our catering team cooked up a lovely chicken and beef casserole's plus vegetarian option. A wonderful festive feast, I know some had difficulty moving afterwards! :-) This was our second social event and one we all look forward to. It would have been nice to welcome more new people so if you are thinking of coming along to any of our events in 2020, please do, you will be most welcome. January 2020 Our first meeting of the new year was our members evening. We were firstly entertained by a lovely presentation from John Taylor. John showed us gardens of the world and also some slides from old annual shows right here in Belbroughton bringing memories back for many. After our tea break we enjoyed a second presentation from Alan Starling showing us Ventnor Botanic Garden Isle of Wight. This covered the history of the former consumption hospital that once occupied the site to its transformation into today’s botanic garden. If you are thinking of coming along to any of our events in 2020, please do, you will be most welcome.
