Celebrating the Life of our Dear Chairperson.

It is with such sadness that we're writing to club members to tell them about the sudden death of our chairperson, Liz Blackler. She was a most vibrant and enthusiastic chair, and also took on the role of show secretary. In the photos below, you can see her awarding trophies to prize-winning members during several autumn and spring shows. Liz with a smile on her face is how we will all remember her.

It is hoped that we will be able to celebrate her very full life when her ashes are scattered at her home; The Blue Barn, Castell Farm. This will be after a family cremation. 

In the meantime, we must honour Liz's wish to get the Rhydlewis Gardening Club back up and running after the hiatus of Covid. 

Therefore, we will be holding a club AGM on the 24th of May at 7.30pm at Rhydlewis Village Hall.  We will especially be welcoming along all the new members who have joined during the Covid lockdown, who have not had the chance to try out a meeting yet! 

Please come if you can. There's plenty for everyone to discuss, as we need to sort out a programme for the rest of the year, and talk about having a party, trips to NGS gardens, helping each other in the garden, and any other good ideas you may bring along. 

We are looking for new members for the committee: a refreshments organiser, a show secretary and, of course a new chairperson. Further details can be had from Nina on 01239 851096.. 

One of the last things Liz did was compile a fun picture quiz for the 2022 AGM,  and after the more serious business is completed, we'll be serving refreshments, and enjoying this quiz, designed to break the ice and get people chatting.

So please come along to the AGM, where we may also have further details of a celebration of Liz's life.
