We are delighted to welcome several new Irish members to our society. In addition to receiving this magazine four times a year, you now have access to all our members only benefits via our website including growing guides, videos and talks. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us, as we are always happy to help. The winter zoom series was another great success. I hope the members who joined, enjoyed the talks and gained some valuable and interesting information. It’s great to be able to connect with members in the UK and Ireland from the comfort of our homes.
At the time of writing, we are looking forward to our spring seminar, which is scheduled for Saturday March 2nd in Moore Hall, South Roscommon. It’s really important to provide opportunities for our members to meet in person for the chat, cuppa and share tips for the new growing season. Many thanks in advance to everyone who helped and supported on the day.
Sincere thanks to all the members who have supported the “200 Club” by buying and selling tickets to date. The club was established to provide additional funding for the society in Ireland and will enable us to have events and activities. A special word of thanks
to our promoter Sean Egan. Monthly draws will continue until December.
We are very much looking forward to the return of the shows in the coming months. It’s currently a busy time of the year for many members sowing seeds and plants for the coming season.
Congratulations to Sean and Teresa Egan Winners of the All-Ireland Onion Championship 2023.
