After opening with a prayer, Karolina wished all the women present a happy Women’s Day.
Apologies were read out and the treasurer mentioned that the club’s finances have improved since door fees were increased to keep up with inflation. In matters arising, members were reminded of the plant sale this month. Seedlings, plants in containers, cuttings wrapped in wet newspaper or in plastic packets or bags will be appreciated for the plant sale which will begin at 9am.
