If you have some plants to bring we will be happy to have them but don’t worry if you don’t have a pot to swap !! Come anyway for a chat – – hopefully in bright sunshine — in the garden. If you would like to stay for lunch please bring a small contribution to a light Pot Luck meal.
Please let Lisa know by email if you are planning to come so that she knows how many to expect. You can let her know if you would like to stay for lunch and discuss what you would like to bring so that we can ensure a good variety of dishes.
Please put a note in your diary now and come along to enjoy a chat with friends, perhaps find a new plant or two for your garden and enjoy a super Pot Luck Lunch.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
Lisa and Hilary

TWIG Gardening Group meeting
2024-05-10 11:00 - 17:00 | Chez Joyce Booth
Our next Gardening Group meeting will be on the interesting subject of wild flowers. Once again Joyce has kindly offered to host this meeting at her home in Garies. She has a field which is not mown at present and this has a wealth of wild flowers, including wild orchids, for us to enjoy. I have an App on my mobile phone which is very good at identifying wild flowers so we should be able to name that plant!
Please contact Joyce to let her know you will be coming so that we have an idea of how many to expect. We plan to have a pot-luck lunch afterwards so, if you would like to stay for the meal, you can discuss this with Joyce when you contact her. She will help you to decide what to bring so that we have a good mix of sweet and savoury dishes. If, like me, you are not a cook, then Joyce will suggest that you bring something simple.
We usually arrange car-sharing to make things easier, especially if you have not been to Joyce’s before. Please let me know if you would like to do this and we will organise it.
Joyce and I are really looking forward to seeing you all on the 10th May.

MACMILLIAN COFFEE MORNING

The TWIG Committee would like to invite you all to our Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday 27th September 09.30 – 12.00, in its usual home, Salle des Aines, Pibrac (Christmas Fair Cafe space).

As usual, this coffee morning is open wide to everyone; firstly, to you our lovely TWIG members, also to your partners, friends, families, neighbours from near and far.

As you know, this coffee morning also helps to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK who have helped and continue to help and support people living with cancer. Many of us have had family or friends who have found their service invaluable and it is there for everyone who needs it.

As usual, could you bring a cake to donate? This is such a lovely coffee morning made special by all the TWIG members who are able to support it. Most of us love a Victoria sponge, coffee and walnut cake, a squidgy brownie, carrot cake, basically anything with buttercream in or a good bit of shortbread.

Please could you let Fran know if you will be able to bring a donation along as well as some lovely chat and a bit of cash to help support Macmillan.

ALSO If anyone has any books for the Christmas Fair Book Stall or goods for the White Elephant Stall both Emma and Joyce will be at the Coffee Morning to take your donations.
