The Winter Auction will be held on Saturday, January 4th at our Cole Court venue; help us make this a highlight of the year! The Auction is a very entertaining meeting with lots of banter, enjoyed by all. It is also a good reason for getting out on, what can be, a cold and, otherwise, uninspiring day. For those who are new to this, here are a few notes on how the Auction works:

The doors will open for the meeting at 1.00 pm; plants arriving for auctioning will be registered and allocated a number. Members can bring up to 8 lots, and joint members up to 12. The plants are then placed on the auction tables.

Members who come to buy, rather than to sell, will register and be handed a personal number; any plants they buy will be assigned to that number.

The Auction will start at 2.00 pm with the plants…
