On the 10th July we had our sizzling (well, almost) barbecue - with great food, home made bread, games and best of all - meeting other veg heads. Before that in May we had a very productive AGM; all committee posts were filled - followed by an excellent plant swap accompanied by sausages and home made bread (again!).

The other dates are provisional so please keep checking back.

Events prior to last year have now been archived.
