Our speaker for June should have been John Taylor. Unfortunately John is no longer well enough to give talks. David Staines stepped in and gave us an illustrated talk about the cultivation of begonias. David is an ex-member of the National Begonia Society East Anglian Area. His talk was informative and entertaining and he brought us free samples of begonias that he had grown from seed. David grows begonias to show and told us that this year's area show will be at Baytree Garden Centre on August 8th and 9th.
We had a large number of attractive entries for the Flower of the Month Competition. The winner was Carl with a mauve delphinium.
