SOUTHPORT U3A TO BUILD A SHOW GARDEN AT FLOWER SHOW.
U3A MEMBERS GET SPECIALLY DISCOUNTED TICKET PRICE
Southport u3a have come to an agreement to build a Show Garden at this year’s Southport Flower Show and to have a stand alongside to promote the u3a in general. The Show Garden will be built and managed by our Gardening Group to celebrate the u3a’s 40th Anniversary.
Alongside this will be a u3a stand which will enable us to talk to existing and prospective members. Our “Performing Groups” will also be playing on the Music Stand at times throughout the Show.
In recognition of this support for the Show, ALL u3a members will be able to book tickets for the show at a specially discounted rate of £18, compared to the gate price of £27.
The show has already announced an array of personalities from the gardening and restaurateur world, including “The Hairy Bikers”, Ellis Barrie, NW winner of The Great British Menu, Adam Frost of Gardeners World – and to keep the kids happy – Justin Fletcher (Mr Tumble).
Announcing the Show Garden venture, Lisa Fryer, Gardening Group Leader, said
“The Gardening Group are thrilled and excited to undertake this Show Garden. We have some great ideas for it, and we want many of the other u3a groups to participate. We hope that this Show Garden will encapsulate all the great things we stand for in the u3a”
Over the next few months, we will be updating members on progress for this venture.
However, in the meantime to take advantage of the Specially Discounted admission price, go the Southport Flower Show site (www.southportflowershow.co.uk) and click on tickets. In the tickets page enter u3a in the Promotional Code box and book your tickets at the special price of £18.
