Chilmark Horticultural Society Talk, 7 October - We were delighted to welcome an enthusiastic audience to our horticultural talk on Cultivating Fruit and Vegetables.The talk was given head of Horticulture at Sparsholt College. What an entertaining talk this was! Ray was soon busting long-held garden myths - who knew, for example, that Ladybirds don't actualy eat aphids? Ray gave us lots of tips too, from using tomato ketchup to clean our secateurs, to growing potatoes in straw. The talk was delivered with humour and audience participation, and all came away feeling we had learned a lot.

Former ELO 2 member brings pop classics to the Reading Room -
An enthusiastic audience of more than 40 greeted former ELO 2 star Phil Bates for his concert in the Reading Room on Friday 31 July. As well as ELO hits, he performed Beatles songs, his own pieces and some favourites, including Waterloo Sunset and Whiter Shade of Pale. Hey Jude was the popular finale to the evening, which saw several people take to the dance floor, including dance couple of the night, Roger and Helen Hooper. Well done all concerned.
