GARDENING CLUB: Shipston gardening club committee is arranging an open evening event at the Townsend Hall in Sheep Street on Wednesday, June 4 to which members of the public will be welcome. This is to be a talk and slide show on New Zealand and the fauna of that area which will be given by the well known speaker, broadcaster and writer Mr Howard Drury.

Tickets will be £5 per head available on the door and will include tea or coffee at the interval. There will also be a raffle. From past experience this should be an entertaining event at which non members of the club will be welcome.
