The signs are that 2023 will be a very good year for Laleston Gardening Club. Some activities have already taken place and many more are in the pipeline.

The Chinese Evening on January 28 was a spectacular success and reflects great credit on the three

Office Manager for Senedd Member, Sarah Murphy. S M Murphy wishes to visit “organisations that do great things” and consequently wishes to visit Laleston Gardening Club. Sue has agreed to meet Sarah on Friday, March 13 at Cliff Cottage to show her what the Club is all about.

Further grants are being made available from Suncredit Solar

Farm Organisation and Sue has taken the initiative and prepared an application on behalf of the Club. If successful the grant would enable the Club to finance a further three sash windows, two in the upstairs room used by the Model Railway Club and one in the old shop.

So the message is the same for all Club activities – Be aware and book early!
