NeighbourCar Scheme
The NeighbourCar scheme is still short of drivers, meaning there is a serious risk that
this hugely important scheme which helps transport people to vital appointments,
shopping trips and similar needs, might not continue. If you have a car, and some
spare time in the week, please contact Brenda House on 01929 471255 or
stockleyfarmpartners@gmail.com, so that we can hopefully get some new drivers
signed up and maintain this valuable service.

GARDENING CLUB

On a bitterly cold February night the committee
were pleased to see about twenty nine
members turn out to hear a talk “with love from
Brussells”. No this was not a “Brexit” charm offensive but a talk by Mary Benger on
how she took a Garden containing a few Brussell sprouts to a fabulous thirteen
acre Garden in East Devon. Mrs. Benger was very knowledgeable and the
photographs of different shrubs gave us a real treat. Maybe later this year we will
organize and trip to see the garden in full bloom.
Next month, we head off in a different direction for a talk on the Hidden Gardens
in London by Bob Ayres. Do not miss this one so turn up at the Drax Hall Tuesday
th
6 March at 7.30 p.m
