Sue and Bob Jayet.
Forbes Garden Club held their social meeting on Tuesday 24th September at the home of Sue and Bob Jayet. On a really warm day President Margaret welcomed 33 members.
Discussion took place about the Friendship Day at Young and Elvy collected the fees and organised travel. Our Christmas luncheon was discussed and it was decided to hold it at the Vandenberg Hotel on 26th November. The cost is $40.00 for a two course meal and money is due and payable at the October meeting. Please have your money in an envelope with your name on it.
The garden of Sue and Bob Jayet is picture perfect with quite a number of shrubs, shade trees and roses. Sue and Bob spoke on how they initially moved into their home in 1972 but work was number one then, and the garden was not established until much later. Sylvia Glasson thanked them for hosting the meeting.
Flower of the month was won by Denise Thurston with a lovely Paint Brush Lily, 2nd Gail McKay with a white orchid and 3rd Meg Scholefield a Cherokee Rose. Raffle prizes went to Jan Stewart and Ann Nelson.
Our next social meeting will be held on 22nd October, 2pm at the home of Evelyn Mahlo, 14 Windsor Street, Forbes. Directions: Take Bedgerebong Road, turn left onto Edward Street and take first turn left into Windsor Street. Look forward to seeing you there, everyone is welcome. Please bring your hat, mug and your chair. Flower of month and trading table as usual.
