The key documents to be approved at our AGM can be accessed by The Columbine newsletter which has been emailed to members. Please read them. Paper copies of the documents will not be provided at the meeting.

8:30 p.m. Entertainment
We all know to admire our gardens, to “smell the roses” and to touch the velvet of some leaves and flowers, but what about listening to our plants? Not just listening to the rain or the wind, really hearing music created by the plant’s inner movements. Curious? Please join us!

According to our by-laws we require a minimum of 15 members in order to conduct our AGM. 

Please RSVP if you plan to attend so that we can ensure sufficient numbers for a quorum. See The Columbine newsletter for more details.

We need your support in this process.
