Chinnor U3A Gardening Group now has around 165 members. As this number is becoming harder to organise, we are having to open a waiting list for anyone wanting to join this group. We are active throughout the year, and meet on the third Wednesday of the month. Like most gardening activities, we have two distinct seasons.
SUMMER
During the summer months, April to October, we organise visits to various gardens within driving distance. Most of these gardens cannot take large numbers of visitors, and so the group is divided into two halves, Morning and Afternoon, visiting the same garden on the same day. Morning group is from 10.30 until 12.00 and the afternoon group from 14.30 until 16.00.
Payment for these visits is made on the day, on arrival at the venue.
WINTER
During the winter months, from November to March, we meet on the third Wednesday of the month in the Chinnor Scout Hut. We have a speaker at each of these meetings and they are chosen for their particular gardening experience and knowledge. Doors open at 10.00 for coffee and tea and the talk starts at around 10.30. The cost of these meetings is covered by the annual subscription.
We also organise two or three coach visits, which are always very popular and are booked on a first come, first serve basis. Coaches are usually 50 - 60 seaters and places are taken up very quickly.
A separate application form is issued about a month prior to the visit, which has to be completed and returned with payment, to the trip organiser. These applications are treated on a strictly first come first served basis.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Annual subscription of £8.00 per person is payable in March, when the summer programme is made available and circulated.
There is a reply sheet attached to the programme, which must be completed and returned to Group organisers as soon as possible, as this establishes numbers of visitors each month.
(Morning Group Organiser - Maureen Owens) (Afternoon Group Organiser - Ann Hine)

PAYMENT FOR VISITS
The cost of individual visits is listed on the printed summer programme and is paid on the day to the group organiser unless prepayment is requested by the garden owner.
