Start 2015 as you mean to go on, make
one of your resolutions a commitment
to get involved in your community!

In 2014, Geddington Gardening Club
hosted the 40th Annual Village Show at
Geddington Village Hall and many within
the Gardening Club thought that because
of dwindling numbers over previous years
it might be the last. However, the show
was a great event with numbers for some
categories significantly up on previous
years, particularly children’s categories,
baking and vegetable growing. Crafting
also seems to have seen something of a
resurgence! As a result, the Gardening Club
has committed to continue with the Village
Show with the 2015 event taking place on
Saturday 1st August. Everyone is invited to
take part!

New children’s categories have been added
for pre-school and primary school children
as well as for young adults. The hope is
that all local nurseries, mother and toddler
groups, the Sunday school, GADS’ youth
section and Geddington Primary School will
participate, plus any other young people in
the village. So get practising your finger
painting, Lego building and baking and
start to think about your scarecrow making,
photography and sunflower growing now!
In an attempt to get more village groups
involved, the Gardening Club has added
categories on chilli plant growing, soda
bread baking and Scotch egg making. Do
you know of any other groups that would like
to get involved/participate on the day?

All of the usual categories will be
represented such as vegetable growing,
flower arranging (the theme for the special
display in 2015 will be the - Rugby World
Cup), crafts, cake baking and decorating
plus photography. The photography
categories are: Geddington village; a single
flower; memorial. The full programme will
be available in spring from the Post Office
or on www.geddington.net

Meanwhile, if you would like to get involved
with the friendly Gardening Club where all
are welcome, meetings take place every
third Monday at 7.30pm in Geddington
Village Hall. The 19th January meeting has
Joe Whitehead talking on ‘Over the Wall’,
and the 16th February guest speaker will be
Geoff Hodge on ‘Colour All Year Round’.
