I have just had an idea for a thread for --
Something like a Village Show ( shown by Photographs) during the Year. If Admin suggest to members the Category eg.
Best Vegetable
Best Container Grown Plant
Most unusual Flower/A photograph taken of Wild Life that we in the Garden (or elsewhere)
Best scenic view-- etc. etc. then members could vote on their favourites during the year.
Favourite Holiday photograph
These photographs could be put forward by the members themselves or others nominating them--
OR--The Board could have a "Trial for 2009"--Admin choose a particular one such as
a) "Sunflower" (Families' grand children could enter this one.)
b) "Best or Unusual Hanging Basket"
c) "Most unusual shaped Vegetable"
Just a few ideas to look at--it may get members and their families to participate in the activities of the Board.
What do members think of this idea? If the majority are game for it we can start in the New Year ;D
