Our club shop will be open this Sunday and the one after from 10am-12pm. These will be the last openings before next year so do come along if you want to buy, at good prices:

- Various composts to improve the soil
- ‘Gorilla tubs’ to assist with w**ding
- Trowels, knee pads and gloves
- Membrane (1m or 2m width) and pegs to cover beds that won’t be planted over winter to stop w**ds growing.
