FLAXTON GARDENING CLUB

Monday 17^th October 2022 at 7.30pm in the Village Hall

Fungi – the gardener’s friends or foes

Malcolm Greaves will give an illustrated talk with examples of the toadstools and mushrooms that represent their fruiting bodies.

Contributions of fruiting bodies from you are welcome, but please put them in clear, sealed plastic bags and wear gloves to pick them unless you are sure that they are not toxic. A label on the outside would be useful to record identification.

Please take them home with you at the end of the evening.

Everyone welcome. A small charge is made for admission, but you’ll also get a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit at the end.

Whilst we understand people like to sometimes celebrate events with fireworks, we are also aware that many animals are distressed by them.

There are no restrictions on holding firework events on any day so long as they are lit between 7am and 11pm (exceptions are before 12pm on 5^th November and before 1am on New Year’s Day).

The Parish Council thought it might be helpful to let people know in advance of any events involving fireworks in the area (when we are notified) so that steps can be taken to minimise any upset for animals.

There will be private firework events in or near Flaxton on Saturday 8^th October 2022 at 9pm and during the evening of Friday 4^th November 2022.

There will of course be other events around the 5^th November 2022 when some families celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.

If you would like to inform us of any other planned firework events, please contact

Thank you.
