Welcome to Edgworth and District Horticultural Society

schedule


We are a friendly and very active society in the North West of England, located in a small village between Bolton and Blackburn, but with members attending our meetings from a 20 mile radius.


We have meetings most months of the year (see Programme), together with day and evening visits to gardens large and small. Every summer, many of our members and friends take part in our long weekend mini-holiday, visiting gardens in other parts of the country.


Our big event of the year is the Annual Show, which takes place on the third Saturday of August. As well as the traditional horticultural classes of flowers, fruit and vegetables, we have classes for cookery, art and crafts, photography and flower arranging.  See our Show Schedule for full details.


Please have a look round our site, and if you have any questions or comments, contact our committee via the contacts page.

THE MONTHLY EMAIL
Irene (our secretary) intends to continue sending out an email bi monthly for the time being. She tries with all our help to fill it with news and articles of garden and local interest.

She is keen to receive  articles from everyone - all members! Have you read, heard, or know something that might interest or amuse others? Perhaps you have an interesting horticultural experience to relate?  Jot down a few sentences and send it to her  New ideas give variety and keep it interesting for everyone!

If you know of anyone who isn’t on the internet or on email please try to help us to keep them in touch with what the Society is doing.  If members want, but are unable to see these reports and the subsequent AGM minutes please help if you can. Instead perhaps a friend or relative could print them. Otherwise members can ring Phil Broughton 01204 300541 or Jean Turner 01204 309394.
An active committee is vital to our Society
Please consider joining us

Next Meeting at The Barlow
Wednesday 18th November


Annual General Meeting

Members only please



We hope that as many members as possible will attend this AGM. The business side of things will be dealt with first, of course. Entry fee will be the usual £4.00 with free potato pie supper or a vegetarian option provided by the Society. There will be a quiz too, not to mention the valuable prizes given to the table with the highest score! This will be a social evening where we can get to know other members better.

Subscriptions for 2027 remain at:
£7.00 for an individual and £12.00 for a couple living at the same address and can be paid at this meeting when the programme for next year will be announced.

Finally, we remain in desperate need of extra, younger committee members. It is hard to foresee how long the remaining committee will cope with everything. The Society will struggle to go on if the committee continues on a downward trend so please consider joining us. It really isn’t arduous if there are enough people involved. If joining a committee isn’t for you how about being co-opted to organise or help with certain jobs or events occasionally. Maybe you could organise the tea duty rota, arrange an outing, assist when there is a special event, or something else as and when the need arises.
