October Update
A programme with a difference this autumn.
We
are
very
aware
that
EHS
members
haven’t
been
able
to
enjoy
the
wide
range
of
activities
that
we
are
usually
able
to
provide,
but
we
are
arranging
some
events
in
October
and
November,
and
we
are
also
giving
a
little
something
to
those that renew their membership for 2021.
Zoom
talk:
‘
An
Allotment
Year’
on
Thursday
15
th
October,
7.30
to
8.30pm.
Alan
Williams
will
give
an
overview
of
the
vegetable
growing
on
an
allotment
over
the
course
of
a
year,
looking
at
the
different
seasons,
what’s
happening
when,
sprinkled
with
anecdotes
and
stories
from
his
experiences.
He
will
also
reflect
on
how
this
year
has
been a bit different.
Chris
Shaw
will
be
compering
the
meeting.
To
join,
all
you
have
to
do
is

the

which

you
nearer
the

before
