It was with great sadness that we learnt of the death of David Cook last week. David was husband to one of our ex committee members Fionnuala Cook OBE. David was frequently one of our willing volunteers at Open Gardens. We extend our deepest sympathy to Fionnuala and the family circle.
Owing to the proposed fundamental change in governance arrangements between the National Trust and the Ulster Gardens Scheme, the Ulster Gardens Scheme committee have, with great reluctance, decided that they are unable to continue to operate the scheme.
Chairman Phil Tilling welcomed Circa 60 people to the Review Evening on Thursday 22nd November 2012 in the Old Court House, Antrim. Committee members Patrick Quigley and Trevor Edwards presented a photo review of all the gardens which opened in 2012. All images were provided by fellow committee member Brian Webb.
At the conclusion of the presentation everyone enjoyed a superb supper prepared by Phillip and the staff of the Old Court House.
