On Thursday 4th December, the members of Aberdeen Garden Club met for a morning tea and early lunch. Here the club bid farewell to the outgoing chairperson Annie Featherstone. This event was held at Pagel House, where Lynn Dugmore kindly made available, her beautiful garden, surrounded by green lawns and enormously shady trees. This setting was more like a garden party, with the florally decorated garden hats of the members, and the tables set under the trees for tea and lunch.
Annie was presented with a book of press cuttings kept over the years, which represented all of Annie’s and Tony Featherstone’s community activities in Aberdeen. This gift was a sincere ‘thank you’ to Annie, who has made this club and all it’s successful activities over the past year, one of her main priorities.
A new committee was elected, with Annie agreeing to be a serving member. The club will meet again later in the New Year.
