Ian Drake gave the club a interactive talk on “How to submit a competition entry”. The evening was very enjoyable, and very enlightening with lots of participation from the club. It was only a pity that the club finished at 10pm as I am sure that the evening could of gone on for quite some time.
Only time will tell if it all sunk in, but I definitely learned something during the evening
On Sunday 7th July 2013, the WBCC organized a day out to the Royal Horticultural Society’s gardens at Wisley.
They day started of with beautiful blue skies and nice warm weather. We all met in the car park near Sainsbury’s in Royal Wootton Bassett, where we waited for our coach. It duly arrived and we all got on for the 1½ hour trip to Wisley.
Upon arriving, we waited for Dave to collect our tickets, then it was of, all camera’s at the ready. But for me, straight to the cafe for the first cup of tea. A quick walk around taking very serious photo’s here and there (All competition winners I am sure). I was just amazed at the size of the place, although there was 30 of us, including our wives I didn’t bump into that many of our members whilst on my walks.
Lunch came and went, and a bit of a rest sitting down just admiring the vast array of colours, and scents from all the different flowers and shrubs.
As we had to be back at the coach by 5:30 time was flying by, it seemed that there was not enough time to really enjoy all that Wisley had to offer.
The trip home was very uneventful, oh yeah, that Scottish bloke won Wimbledon, well done Andy.
But all in all, I had a fab time, and I am sure that everyone else did, so well done to Dave for organizing the trip.
