Have you any suggestions to make our club and meetings a "must" for you?
Fewer responses to this question, but of those that did respond 3 said it is good and well run at present; one suggestion of offering joint membership at £2.00 less than 2 single memberships; how about a plant swap?; more on vegetables; good speakers; a real addition to village interests.
