PANEL OF CONSULTANTS’ SEMINAR

Due to the adverse weather conditions our Panel of Consultants’ seminar which was scheduled for Tuesday 3rd February was cancelled.  The Retail Trust have kindly agreed to host this later in the year – new date will be Tuesday 8th September.  Delegates who had registered for the seminar have all been contacted.  There are still spaces available and a new Reservation form will be mailed to Panel Members with the Spring mailing (end of April).

 


The 6th GARDEN GALA in Linton is planned for Sunday 7th June 2009, from 2pm—6pm.  Most people drive through Linton on the A229 without seeing the magnificent views of The Weald which many of the houses enjoy, so this will be an opportunity to explore the village and see some charming gardens which have been created.

 

There will be 12 gardens open for viewing during the afternoon and visitors will be able to purchase one ticket to give admission to all open gardens.  There will be off street parking, a plant stall, and teas for sale.

 

Linton Park Almshouses will be one of the open gardens and the residents are working hard to make their gardens ready for viewing.  The residents will also be serving teas in the garden and selling hand made greetings cards.

 

The main objective of the GARDEN GALA is to raise funds to support the parish church of St Nicholas, and in previous years it has also provided a most enjoyable afternoon for many visitors to the village, as well as bringing residents in the village together in working towards a day to show our village at its best..
