re-open
on

19
th
2020.
There
is
a
new
layout
with
a
one-way

place
to

with
Government
guidelines.
Members

Virtual Show.
A
new
website
is
being
set
up
for
the
virtual
show.
The
Schedule
can
be
found
there,
and
instructions
for entering your exhibits.
Events
It
looks
unlikely
that
we
will
be
able
to
run
any
events
this
autumn.
The
Community
Centre
may
not
open
until
October
and
when
it
does
there
will
be
restrictions
which
will
make
talks
and
other
social
events untenable.

the

will
give
you
up-to-date
information
about
what’s
happening
in
the
EHS.

some
great

of
plants
