ALDWORTH Gardening Club: Started the new year with a speaker that everyone found very interesting indeed.

Mr Dancer had us all absorbed with his excellent knowledge of clematis.

There were plants for sale, and many members went home with a new or different variety.

The next meeting will be on Tuesday, February 8, at 7.30pm, when the speaker will be Mr Atkinson, whose subject will be sheep.

We meet in the Focus Room at Aldworth Science College, Western Way, Basingstoke.
