2018 Programme of Events - Meetings and Other Events
Meetings are held at Chalfont St Giles Memorial Hall, School Lane, Chalfont St Giles, HP8 4JJ at 8.00 pm on the second Thursday of the month. Car parking is available at both the front and rear of the Memorial Hall. The Hall is open from 7.30 pm.
Guests are most welcome - there is a small charge made on the door.
Meetings and refreshments are free to members. We invite experienced speakers to talk on a wide range of gardening topics. The talks generally last for about an hour and a half with a short break when tea or coffee and biscuits are served. A free raffle is also held at most meetings.
Members are invited to bring anything they have grown which they think may be of interest to other members and a cup is awarded for the best entry each month based on quality, freshness and presentation.
