2026 Annual General Meeting, Thursday 26th November 2026, 7:45pm, Church Centre, Featherbed Lane

Our 2026 Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 26th November 2026, at the Church Centre in Featherbed Lane, starting at 7:45. This is a change from the date originally advertised. The Committee will report on the VPA's activities during the past year and set out plans for 2027. All current members are welcome to attend and vote at the AGM and cheese and wine will be available.

Talks at the Prestwood Gardening Society

Don't forget that we have a reciprocal arrangement with our friends in the Prestwood Gardening Society whereby our members can attend each other's talks at no cost. You can view Prestwood's programme here: Events Calendar - Prestwood Gardening Society (e-voice.org.uk)

No more discounts at Hildreth's Garden Centre or Peterley Manor Farm

From 1st September 2025, Hildreth's no longer offer our members the 10% discount on horticultural purchases. Apparently, this is because they have launched their own loyalty card costing, we believe, £5 per annum. We also understand that discounts are no longer offered by Peterley Manor Farm.
