Details of Meetings

Our meetings are held at St. John Fisher Church Hall, Thanet Road, Bexley, Kent on the 4th Tuesday in every month except December. The hall will be open from 7-15pm and the meetings last from 8pm until 10pm with a break for tea, coffee and biscuits at 9pm. There is ample on and off street parking. See map below.

We hold a raffle each evening at a cost of 50p per strip of tickets.

There are often old gardening magazines for members to take, giving a small donation for our designated charity. Members may bring their own old magazines to dispose of in this way.  We also have a second-hand book box.

Monthly Rose Table Show.

Members may bring their roses to exhibit each month from June to October. This is designed to practice staging ready for the Summer Show. There are two divisions, Experienced and Novice. Each division consists of 3 classes.
The classes are :-

* Hybrid Tea. A vase containing 1 bloom.
* Floribunda or Cluster Rose. A vase containing 1 stem
* Miniature Roses. A vase containing 3 stems.

All vases are supplied. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are awarded points and the member with the most points in each division at the end of the season wins a cup to be kept for a year.

Our Designated Charity

After many years of supporting the Greenwich and Bexley Hospice it was felt that much smaller charities could do with our support. We have decided to support The British Hedgehog Preservation Society, Prickles Hedgehog Haven, Bromley, Kent.
