Sutton-cum-Lound and Barnby Moor Gardening Club

by | 25 June 2019 | Gardening Club, Retford

The Gardening Club is growing at such a rate not only plants but in stature, thanks to the efforts and energy of the club committee and members! It has been proposed and ratified by the membership, that the group have a change of name owing to the membership joining from destinations various.

Sutton gardening club held its AGM on Tuesday 2nd April, in Barnby Moor Village Hall. The Club has now adopted a constitution stating how the club is to be run and in addition to this has also changed its name to The Sutton-cum-Lound and Barnby Moor Gardening Club which more accurately reflects the club’s membership. Reports were received from the Chair and Treasurer. All officers stood down and six of the seven committee members were re-elected en-bloc. Rose Cody, who has been very active as a committee member, has sadly stepped down; there were no volunteers on the night to fill this position and therefore there remains a vacancy on the committee. Frank Bradley was thanked for his role in keeping media outlets up to date with the club’s activities and has volunteered to continue in this role, which is very much appreciated. During a period of socialisation, a general consensus of opinions indicated that the success of the club and the increase in membership is due wholly to the efforts and input of the committee under the chairmanship of Jenny Bailey. A great social event bringing the rural communities together in a pleasant atmosphere, with many close friendships being formed. You are welcome to join them.
