17th October – Harvest Celebration
Today we held our Harvest celebration at Packington village hall. All members who attended brought an item of food to share. They also helped to get tables and chairs ready to the best of their ability. Autumn decorations were previously made and bought by some members.
Lots of chattering and discussion took place which made for a very sociable afternoon. Paul provided his usual free plant raffle before we cleared away. A lovely session much enjoyed by all.
