You don't have to be an expert to enjoy our events! If you would like to join the Gardening Club, just come along to the next meeting. All talks start at 7.30 p.m. in Shenington with Alkerton Village Hall, unless otherwise announced. Membership subscription remains at £7 for 2008, which entitles you to attend all talks.
