Come and join us

We are a friendly group offering a warm welcome to anyone interested in gardening, whatever your level of knowledge, experience or ability.  In the autumn and spring, we hold meetings in Flaxton Village Hall on the third Monday of the month, when we are entertained and informed by a varied programme of interesting speakers.

During the summer we organise visits to various gardens and places of horticultural interest.  Members are entitled to discounts at some local suppliers.

The exciting programme for the next few months along with membership and admission details are attached.

Update from Flaxton Social

As you may know Flaxton Social came to be following the feedback from the Village Plan. As a small group of volunteers, we have enjoyed organising a variety of events and have tried to cater for a wide range of tastes. To date we’ve held: –

  • Ceilidh and Hog Roast
  • 2 Village Shows
  • Afternoon Tea and Morning Coffee
  • The Antiques Roadshow
  • Bingo Night
  • Pub Quiz at the Thompsons
  • The King’s Coronation picnic
  • Curry Night
  • September Song and Supper
  • Lasagne Night at the Thompsons
  • The Big Butty Breakfast
  • The Easter Egg Hunt with tea and cakes

Our objective was not to raise funds but to bring the village together. These social interactions are the very fabric of village life, and we are delighted to play our part.

However, now that we have a firm proposal for a new village hall, we have an opportunity not only to continue bringing people together but also to help raise the funds to build it.

So, in future we will be building into each event a fundraising element so we can make a contribution to the new village hall following each event.

We would welcome more volunteers, this could be on an ad hoc event by event basis or as a full-time member of the team. Please get in touch with Sheelagh by email if you can help.

If you haven’t been to any of the events yet, why not come along and try our next one? You’ll probably bump into your neighbours, have a good chat and there’s usually a cuppa or a glass of something stronger too. Thanks to all of you who are regulars.

It’s hard to think of a better way to raise funds for our new village hall than by socialising with our friends and neighbours!
