Diary Dates
Unless otherwise stated, all the activities take place at Sudbury Meadow, Crosshall Road, Eaton Ford, St Neots. For all practical activities, please wear strong leather boots and bring a pair of gardening gloves. (A few pairs of gloves are available). Refreshments are not provided, so please bring your own, particularly water on hot days. Sun block is essential during the Summer. The activities will vary, depending on the time of year, the weather and who turns up! We often retire to the Barley Mow for a well earned drink (lunches also available) so come prepared. Please note, we don't always keep to the 12.30pm finish time. It can be sooner or later depending on the weather.
