The village news items generally contain details of when and where meetings take place. The easiest way to stay informed about these is to sign up for our email updates.

Sutton cum Lound and Barnby Moor Gardening Club

Please note the following:

• Sutton has its own Gardening Club in conjunction with Barnby Moor, which currently (2023) meets in Barnby Moor Village Hall, Kennel Drive, Barnby Moor, DN22 8QU on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:15pm.
• However, Sutton cum Lound and Barnby Moor Gardening Club are moving to Sutton cum Lound Village Hall, 38 Town Street, Sutton cum Lound, Retford, DN22 8PT for their monthly meetings from January 2024. As a consequence, we are also changing our meeting night to the first Thursday of the month, 7:15pm to 9:15pm.

We are a very friendly and supportive group, so if you are new to the area, or new to gardening, we would love to see you. You do not need to be an expert at gardening, we all learn from each other and our guest speakers.

Monthly Guest Speakers; refreshments served.

Annual subscription period runs from April to March, from April 2024 annual subscription will be £20.00 per person. There will be a charge of £2.50 per person per meeting for non-members and guests.

So if you would like to get involved, or just want more information, then please contact Chairperson Jenny Bailey, who will be pleased to help:
