Spring Plant Sale – Saturday 8th May
Despite the rain, the wind, Covid and the face masks - our first outdoor plant sale was a real success story.
For The Chairman's report and some pictures please visit the 2021 Spring Plant Sale page

The Store is open!
|
I am sure you are all keen to know when the Store will re-open. The date in question is Saturday, 3 April. (Please note that this is a one-off opening on a Saturday as Sunday, 4 April is Easter Sunday and we don’t want to be criticised for opening when most other shops are forced to close.) We shall then open on Sunday, 18 April.
|
Thereafter we shall open on the first and third Sundays of each month. As usual our opening hours will be 10.00 until noon. Please note we are taking this opportunity to go cashless which will make the Store so much easier to operate. Our preferred method of payment is by credit or debit card but we will accept cheques reluctantly. In extremis we can also accept payment online.

NEW DATE All Covid restrictions are due to be lifted the day after we were due to hold the Walkabout. We have therefore moved the event back by one week to Sunday 27th June.

Do we have your
email address? Please help us to keep in touch with you by letting us have your email address - please email membership@radletthortsoc.co.uk to be added to our mailing list. Because of the current Coronavirus pandemic we have needed & may continue to make changes to our programme and facilities at short notice. This has already included cancellation of some events & closure of The Store, and depending on the length of the social distancing requirements, we may need to do more. |
With close to 600 household memberships and our low membership subscription rate, we cannot afford to do mailings by post, so without an email address we cannot keep you updated.

Above: Members enjoyed a great visit to Burston Garden Centre on March 12, 2020. A very informative visit as we went behind the scenes to see their production processes. And their scones were knock-out too. www.burston.co.uk
