We are actively seeking new members. The annual membership fee of £6.00 per person is payable on joining and renewable in March. If you are reading this as a non-member and are interested in joining this very friendly club then please contact any of the Committee Members or use the Feedback form or just come along to a meeting.  If you come along to a meeting on 'spec' as a visitor you'll see we have a reception table by the door - you will not only be made to feel very welcome but we will be delighted to see you.  We charge visitors £3.00 so you can 'try before you buy'.

Why join? What do you get for your money? Well, you get free entry to all indoor meetings where we have some very interesting topics as shown in our latest programme. Your refreshments at all meetings are free. You get to visit all outdoor venues (for which the club nearly always has to pay a much higher entrance fee) for just £1.00 (with some exceptions depending on the nature of the visit), and perhaps the most important part of all is that you become part of a growing social organisation where you will get to make friends who all have a similar interest to yours. Oh, and almost forgot, we have arranged discounts up to 15% on purchases at certain garden centres and an amazing 50% from a national seed merchant and we're currently working on more - see the Discount Offers page for details.  Take advantage of the discount offers and your membership fee will be repaid many times over!

Indoor Meetings
These are held in Edinburgh Hall, Harling Road, Gt Hockham at 7:45pm on the second Wednesday of the month (see the Programme Page for full details of each meeting).

At each indoor meeting, we will now include a table show  called “Flower from your Garden”. Any member can show any flower grown in their garden.  All items will be judged on the evening, perhaps by a visiting speaker, perhaps by a nominated member. Points will be awarded and a record kept of the winning entries. One entry per member per month and most points at end of year will collect a mystery prize.

At each indoor meeting there are free refreshments for members and a raffle. Each member is asked to contribute one raffle prize per year, in September.  As a result, we have some really great raffle prizes.

Outdoor Visits
Costs for outside visits are £1 to members (usually) and as applicable to visitors. Refreshments are again provided. Where we go varies from interesting nursery centres to members gardens to picnics - we constantly try to come up with something different and new - see the Programme page for details.

Village Flower Show
Each year we have a village flower show. This usually takes place in August/September but full details of the show including dates, times, rules and categories are distributed well in advance - again see the Programme page for full details.

 

Each year we also stage the village pumpkin competition where we invite children and adults alike to enter into the fun of halloween.  This year the competition will be held at the Edinburgh Hall, Gt.Hockham, on Sunday 3rd November, 2.30-3.30pm.  See left hand menu for details.
