Linton-On-Ouse Gardening Club

The club meets on the last Friday each month in Linton On Ouse Village Hall at 7:30 p.m. except in November and December when it is usually the third Friday. Guest speakers are booked for the majority of meetings and are usually speakers of good quality that provide an interesting evening. Visitors are welcome at the meeting although a very small charge is made. Annual membership of the club is a very modest £5.00 per year and worth every penny. Each year there is usually a coach trip with a garden theme,last year the visit was to Sowerby Hall Bridlington.  Through the year a few competitions are planned.
