November Monthly Meeting

* Hi everyone, I am still having some technical difficulties with uploading photos, hopefully this will be sorted out soon! Thanks for your patience, K.

November Willow Glen Gardeners’ meeting was Melbourne Cup Day and was hosted by Ross and Joy at their beautiful home on Run-O-Waters Drive, Goulburn.   Ross and Joy have done an impressive amount of work  since the Garden Club last met at their place and it was looking beautiful, particularly Joy’s rose garden and the water feature.  Many thanks to Ross and Joy for an enjoyable day. 

Everyone was into the spirit of the day with their Crazy Hats, which you will see from the photos.  Liz-Anne won the hat competition with her koala confection and no-one topped  Tom’s bowler.  

It was very pleasant sitting on the verandah eating delicious food, some people drinking some nice wine and admiring the view of garden and into the distance.

December  will be the Christmas Meeting to be held at David and Pauline R’s,  on Tuesday 3rd December, starting at 11am. David and Pauline have very kindly offered to do a sausage sizzle and you are welcome to bring anything else for a barbeque.  Also please bring something for dessert and a plant to be swapped amongst each other  as Christmas presents.

Bon Voyage Victoria!!

* Hi everyone, we are having some technical difficulties uploading photographs at the moment, but this will be rectified as soon  as possible. Thanks for your patience! K

We had a good turn up of Willow Glen Gardeners to farewell Victoria M.   Victoria is leaving us to return to her family in England and she will be missed.  We had a great morning tea with a spectacular display of home made goodies and all said our goodbyes.  Josh and Jessica G made and decorated a coffee cake with the words 'Farewell Victoria' on it. 

We all had a good time and Irene T presented Victoria with a bunch of flowers and a tea towel with Australian designs.

Denise J took a number of photos and we had a group photo to mark the occasion.

Many thanks to Lloyd T for organising the Hall for our get together.
