Horticultural society uprooting for winter

The group has held its meetings and talks at St John's United Reformed church hall in Victoria Road but from November will be based in Little Common at St Martha's church hall.

This will be their winter home until new premises are built in Cantelupe Road.

The first session on November 3, from 2.30pm, will be an illustrated talk by Brian Self called 'New Zealand Interlude'.

Member Sheila Stafford said: "St Martha's is on the corner of Cooden Sea Road and Birkdale. There is ample parking, and a 99 bus stop outside...Obviously a lot of people used to walk in who now will have to get a bus, but please do come along."
