About Bexrose & Membership
The Bexleyheath and District Rose
Society was founded in 1960 to promote and further interest in the Rose
through its monthly meetings, newsletter and annual Rose Show. See also,
the article on Bexrose History by
our President Frank Boardman.
We are located at Bexleyheath, Kent,
The Garden County of England, UK.
At present
the Society has 456 members, mostly from the local area but we do have
members in other areas of the country and even overseas.
Our Patron is
Dr. David Hessayon, the author of the Expert series of handy gardening
books.
The Society is affiliated to the Royal National Rose
Society and the Royal Horticultural Society and is a member of the Kent
Federation of Horticultural Societies.
The current membership fee is £5.00 per year. Our year starts on 1st
January until 31st December.
Our AGM is
held in February.
There are 10 Bexrose Bulletins published each
year featuring a report on the monthly lecture, dates and information from
the Horticultural world and articles from members on holidays or other
activities, gardening tips etc. If members who receive their Bulletins by
post wish to give us a donation towards the postage we are most grateful
as our postal costs are quite high each month.
We are looking to
recruit new younger members in the 30 and upwards age groups. We are a
very friendly Society with lots going on. Come and join us for 1 evening a
month, make new friends and learn about every aspect of gardening, not
just Roses.
