GLINTON HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY Write Away

If you feel that you could join the committee or offer help in any way to prevent the society from having to close please contact me as follows: e: r372quinn@btinternet.com or t: 01733 252161

In the last issue of this magazine I outlined the difficulties facing the Society and that without a considerable influx of younger fitter members to the committee the society would no longer be viable. My thanks go out to the small number of people who have offered help, but at this time the response is not sufficient for the society to continue!

There will be a Special General meeting in Glinton Village Hall on Friday 23 July at 7:30pm to decide on the future of the society. The meeting will be open to all so if you can contribute to the future of the society and do not want it to see it close please come along. Hopefully the Corona virus restrictions will be relaxed by then, but it would still be helpful if you would notify me of your intended attendance.

From Councillor Claire Bysshe

Glinton has done its bit for the National Clear-up campaign. The photo shows the large amount of litter picked up in a very short time on Saturday 10th April. Thanks go to my fellow Councillor Kirt, Janet, Liz Skinner, Mick Stimson, Marie Hayes, Julie and Geoff Fitzjohn, Nick Hughes, Louise Mayman and her daughter Holly and my husband Simon for their efforts. It was very good to welcome Louise and Holly to my list of potential pickers – I hope Holly

enjoyed the experience. We always welcome young helpers - with a parent, of course. We used ‘grabbers’, hi-vis jackets and gloves provided by the Glinton Parish Council. We can now organise litter-picks whenever we want. There is one ‘litter’ mystery to solve! Who, 3 times, has take the black bin letter-box cover from the bin by the bus stop at the top of the Willows footpath, dragged it across the road and thrown it over the hedge? The mind boggles! Any light on this would be good. Soon PCC will refuse to provide a bin and I wouldn’t blame them. Whoever you are, please stop! Leave the bin alone! My message to all – TAKE YOUR LITTER HOME.
