Programme of events 2022/23 

Our programme runs from the September AGM for 12 months.

During autumn and winter we have monthly indoor meetings with guest speakers at the Edinburgh Hall, Harling Road Great Hockham IP24 1NT.  Doors open at 1.30 and speakers start at 2pm on the second wednesday of each month.

Indoor meetings are free to members, £3 for visitors and include refreshments, raffle and club competitions for best fruit,veg and photo.

In warmer months we have a visit each month to a garden, nursery or place of horticultural interest. These events are subsidised by the club but members may have to pay a small contribution for some visits. 

You can join the club at any time of year. Membership costs £10 and covers the current programme.
