CHAIRMANS Report
John Hardman thanked members for their support for coming to the meeting as the list shows that some members had travel some distant to be here. He remarked about the membership now stands at 120 but only 15 people exhibited in the Annual show, a very sad state to be in. Over the years many new members have had bulbs and then not bothered to bring them to the show.
One of the reason for having the AGM on a Saturday is to encourage new members to come and see slide of the different markings and colours. The chairman also expressed a wish to see more members turn their hand to raising seedlings.
