AGM and Pumpkin Surprise!

Our Annual General Meeting was held on the evening of Thursday 17th October. All the officers were re-elected. The finances were reported to be healthy. The chairman commented that we continue to attract new members. He also reported that for the first time ever we had a meeting in the village hall every month of the preceding year.
Once the official business was over we began to make our pumpkin lanterns. Thanks go to Penny for the organisation and practicalities of that part of the evening.To start with Penny told us how she had been involved in the planting of the pumpkin seeds on the farm next to where she lives. Also there had been problems with black beetles. Then our pumpkins had to be ripened early because of when we wanted them. Anyway it all turned out well in the end and we had a lovely evening which everyone enjoyed.
The Flower of the Month Competition was slightly surreal - being won by Clive with a weird potato.
