In addition to hearing reports and electing the Committee, there will be an interesting talk by Dave Rome on bees and bee keeping.

Members of the Friends Group are very sorry to hear of the recent death of Ron Holt.
Ron, together with his boss Louis Bell, created Walkden Gardens when they both worked for Sale Borough Council and later Trafford Council. Ron used to get in trouble for spending too much time working in the Gardens when he should have been working in the Council greenhouses.
His funeral will be at 12.45pm on 2 April at Altrincham Crematorium.
The Friends extend their sincere condolences to Ron’s wife Barbara and his family.
R.I.P. Ron
