In early Spring, Autumn and Winter and we meet at Stainton Village Hall, 1.45pm for a 2pm start, to listen to talks by specialist speakers.
In the late Spring and the Summer we visit gardens, both within our own locality and further afield. These are coach trips and are organised by the conveners. Prices for these trips are based on the entry fees and coach costs.
