VPA News for November

November 2, 2015

BLEWBURY AND UPTON VILLAGE PRODUCE ASSOCIATION (Your Village Gardening Club)

We held our October Plant and Cake Sale in Upton this year and thank you to everyone who supported us, with a special thanks to Margaret Maytham for allowing us to use her garden.

Our ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING takes place on  WEDNESDAY 4th NOVEMBER AT 7.00PM  IN THE VALE ROOM AT BLEWBURY VILLAGE HALL We will be announcing the Committee’s future plans for the VPA given the response to our questionnaire which went out in the September issue of the Blewbury Bulletin.

Our BEETROOT BONANZA will also take place on the 4th November Over 15 varieties of beetroot have been grown for tasting  –  PLUS special and unusual recipes.    We will also have our usual wine and nibbles during the short business meeting. PLEASE JOIN US  To end 2015 on a high note we are holding our XMAS SOCIAL on SATURDAY 5th DECEMBER – 7.00pm at UPTON VILLAGE HALL.  Our theme is an “Italian Evening”.    On arrival you will receive a complimentary glass of wine and nibbles, continue with a beautifully cooked pizza from The Blueberry with homemade salad and finish with a traditional Italian dessert.  (Please bring any other drink you may want).  We have an unusual table quiz and a couple of extra special indoor games!!   Everyone is welcome, so why not make it a family evening out.   Tickets are £9 per person. Tickets will be available from the 1st November at Blewbury Post Office, or you can telephone and book your ticket with Margaret Maytham – 01235 850126 or Eileen Bracken – 01235 510095.     You will need to book your tickets by Tuesday 1st December at the latest.

DID YOU KNOW?  Three old sayings:  1. Clear moon, frost soon.  Halo around the moon, rain soon. 2.  If you see the underside of the leaves in the gentle breeze, it will rain before you sneeze.     3.  A summer fog for fair, a winter fog for rain.

Happy Gardening Eileen
