In recognition of the community’s support for the Open Gardens Day, Parwich & District Horticultural Society each year gives money to local causes. This year Open Gardens was particularly successful. At Friday’s AGM the Society wanted to support something that will benefit the whole community and that is gardening related.
We agreed to donate £1,000 towards the planting in the grounds of our new Memorial Hall. The Society also left open the possibility of the Committee donating more at a later date depending on our finances and the final planting scheme costs.

Wow, thank you so much to everyone in the Society for your generosity. That is amazing.
From Debbie, Trevor, Allie and Sam
I’m quite gobsmacked that the £700’000+ raised for this hall didn’t cover for the cost of a few flowers and shrubs. amazing.
As today Rupert is celebrating his 89th birthday, perhaps he has lost touch with current prices.
When a single 1973 Rupert annual cost £23,000 two years ago, the new Hall does not sound so expensive. At that rate of inflation, rebuilding the old Memorial Hall would cost £138,000,000.
Happy Birthday Rupert
Happy 89th Birthday Rupert. We had not realised you are 32 years older than us.
We think gardening is great, so well done to the Horticultural Society!
Happy Birthday Rupert from me and Big Ears.
You are ten years older than me too.
Sorry about the birthday cards. You should get them tomorrow, now the strike has been called off.
