Morning Kids!

 

Good news reminder – just in case you’ve forgotten, we have an extra hour of sleep/partying this weekend!  For most of us these days, that just means that we need to remember to change the times on our ovens and cars, since everything else pretty much takes care of itself automatically.  It might be a little more work if you still own a sun-dial…

Here are the latest events that have been added to the Bermuda calendar since last week’s post.  As always, don’t forget to check out the Quick Recap Section at the bottom of the post for a full listing of all upcoming events, including those previously covered in previous posts.

This will start at 11am in the Horticultural Hall in the Botanical Gardens and will run monthly on the first Friday of the month until May.

Members are encouraged to enter a monthly rose competition, very much like the Ag Show rose entries. The entries are Bench (cut rose in a bottle) and Arrangements and there is a theme each month.  This month, the Bench is Special 20 entry-only Bench, which means members are only allowed to enter 20 classes of roses, one in each class.  The arrangement title for November is Classes A & B “Twists and Turns” and Class C is “In a nut shell”.

All of their meetings are open to the public and there is no need to RSVP in advance.  If a member of public wants to join BRS they are required to attend two meetings, not necessary in a row, and have a member nominate them to the BRS executive – members are always ready to sponsor a new member.

There is no cover charge.
