2018 AGM and Gathering-Wisley

September 22, 2018 - September 23, 2018

Venue:-

The Heather Society Annual Gathering will focus on the weekend of 22nd and 23rd September with activity focussed on Saturday 22nd with an all day visit to RHS Wisley and on Sunday 23rd a visit to Champs Hill and Savill Garden Windsor is planned; and the heather garden at the Valley Garden is also possible for keen walkers.

We need to know numbers of members who are interested in attending as soon as possible so that those who wish to stay at a hotel can be accommodated. Some members may wish to make their own hotel arrangements. Hotel prices will be around £150-£200 per night from enquiries made. A coach will be hired to take members from a hotel to each venue, or if numbers are small we will arrange lifts with members cars. Please let Barry Sellers know if you need transport from your hotel.

Please note that members purchase their own lunches.

Please email to Barry Sellers sellersbarry@aol.com if you are interested in attending.
