July 2021<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FROM THE CHAIR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Members <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to our July newsletter. I do hope you are continuing to stay safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am sure that you are as disappointed as I am that the Summer Show has had to be cancelled because of the delay in easing COVID restrictions. However, all is not lost. We have a VIRTUAL Summer Show! You should have received details a few days back \u2013 and they are set out on page 3. I very much hope you will submit some entries (closing date 9th<\/sup> July) and my warm thanks to the Shows Committee for their sterling work at organising this at relatively short notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There also is a Potato Competition and a Photography Competition \u2013 thanks are due to Gordon who has done the organising of these. Details are on page 4 and 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I want to mention the survey. It will be sent to you (from GG Comms) on Monday 5th<\/sup> July and needs to be done within two weeks. It is very quick to do, and the feedback will help the Committee enormously to make improvements for Grayshott Gardeners. Thank you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the best, Anne Waddell, Chairman<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IS IT? Results for No. 7 & Photo for No. 8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer for June 2021 was a sweet chestnut. It was in St. Luke\u2019s church yard. Yet again,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

member, Karen Cozens, was the only member who correctly identified the photo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you think you know what it is (and no, it\u2019s NOT Paddington Bear!), please e-mail Gordon Rae president@grayshottgardeners.net<\/a> by 15th<\/sup> July 2021. We will provide the answer and the names of those who correctly identified the photo in our August newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
