Suspension of the 2020 Programme – Update

When we wrote to you earlier we said that we would continue to monitor the progress of the pandemic and the regulations associated with it. At that time we cancelled the first Talk and the Plant Sale leaving the rest of the programme open… Following the most recent Government announcements it will not come as a surprise that the planned Outing in June is also now cancelled. Coach outings are not feasible in today’s circumstances and in any case Arundel ...

Suspension of the 2020 programme

This year’s visit is to Arundel Castle gardens, and ...
