The Club also has a range of social events throughout the year including Garden Visits, Lunches, Barbecues, and Horticultural Shows.
Visitors and new members are always guaranteed a warm welcome. Membership is only £15 for the year from January (£8 from July). Please Contact Us if you would like any more information on our meetings or activities or to come along as a visitor (£3).

Our next Club Meeting on Tuesday 10th February from 8-10 pm at Emmanuel Parish Centre will commence with a short Club AGM and then be followed by some historical perspective on one of the country's best colleges for land-based education, Merrist Wood. Sarah Hill will be our guide for the evening where we explore 'Merrist Wood, Past and Present'.
Our first Club meeting of 2026 introduced us to 'Viticulture: A Year at Greyfriars Vineyard'. James Taylor-Thomas was our educational sommelier for the evening and gave us an informative and entertaining taste of how some of the UK's best sparkling wine is grown and produced at Greyfriars Vineyard and how over 65,000 grapevines are kept in peak quality.
There are the first signs of the approaching spring on the January Photographs page to enjoy.
