, & HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY President: Chairman: Mr B. J. Leversha

Dear Horticultural Society Members We wish you all a very happy and healthy New Year and we are sure that you are all looking forward to the time when we can return to living normally again. Hopefully, the vaccination programme will allow us to do that by the summer. Although we cannot have our usual monthly winter talks and get togethers at the moment due to the pandemic, the Committee are hoping that we will be able to hold our Annual Show and Fete which this year is planned for Saturday 17 July. It is also unlikely that we will be able to hold our AGM in March but we are pencilling it in for Thursday 15 April. As we get closer to that date, things should become clearer and we will let you know whether it can go ahead or whether we will have to postpone it further. We are hoping to organise some summer visits outside later in the year when this dreadful virus is finally under control. Meanwhile I would like to remind you that our annual subscriptions are due, either £5 per family for the over 65s or £7 per family for the under 65s I wish to thank all those members who pay each year by standing order because it makes life much easier for Jill, our treasurer, and also for yourselves as it is sent automatically by your bank. If anybody would like to pay by standing order who doesn’t yet do so, please contact Jill, Brian or myself and we would be very pleased to show you how to do it. For those members who pay by bank transfer, the Society’s bank details are: Account Name: Dogmersfield, Winchfield & Crookham Village Horticultural Society Bank & Branch: Lloyds Fleet Branch Account No: 00074552 Sort Code: 30-93-32 For those who wish to pay by cheque (made payable to DWCV Horticultural Society) or with cash, please send it to either:
