Young farmers' Members of Bolton-by-


sound advice on the prepa­ ration of the baskets, as well as lots of tricks of the trade. There were a variety of composts, including those produced locally, a range of plant foods, fertil­ izers and substances that retain the water. Members were introduced to a prod­ uct that will "make the water wetter," so that they could water a dry hanging basket without all the water running off on to the floor. From slug pellets to recycled paper liners, the talk was packed with handy hints. The members were all treated to a free packet of seeds and everyone agreed it had been a most enlight­ ening evening. Mrs II. Nowell won the


raffle prize, Mrs R. Wood, Miss M. Spurgeon, Mrs G. Whowell and Mrs K. Now­ ell won the competion for a decorated plant pot. Mrs P. Colley was elected to be the delegate to attend the Lon­ don conference. There is to be a committee meeting on Monday at 7-30 p.m. The calligraphy day is to be held on May 6th from 9-30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the village hall and has a couple of places left. Anyone wishing to attend should tel. 01254 826782. The quiz tomorrow night takes place at the vil­ lage hall at 7-30 p.m. All are welcome and the money raised will go to leukaemia research.
