On the 19th June Porters Lodge Garden, Cavenham will be opening up especially for a visit by our group. Entry plus tea and cake is £10. If you haven't already got your name on the list please contact us for further details.
A reminder that if you are booked for the visit to Porters Lodge Gardens on June 19th, we need your payment of £10 before June 5th. Cheques (payable to Newmarket U3A events) or cash to Rosemary or Kath please, if paying by BACS use Garden Visit as the reference.
There will be no meeting at ERC on this day.

All are welcome to join us, no matter if you are an armchair gardener or the dirt under the nails sort!.


All our meetings take place at the Exning Road Club, except where indicated, at 2.30pm, tea and coffee are available all for a meeting fee of £1.50. We also ask that all attending purchase a raffle ticket for an additional £1, the proceeds from this enables us to engage speakers several times a year.

Donations of prizes for the raffle, not necessarily gardening related, are greatly appreciated as are plants and seeds for a trade table.

We welcome members old and new and any ideas you may have to keep the group blossoming.
