MEMBERSHIP OF THE SOMERSET FEDERATION OF GARDENING CLUBS

Benefits of Membership

For a small annual fee Member Clubs receive or have access to: 

• Listing their Club Events in our Calendar - Member Clubs' shows are incorporated in the Calendar of Events. 
• The Speakers and Judges Register - The Register is constantly updated and we rely on our members to provide the Secretary with the names and addresses of any good, potential speaker or judge. Moreover, when a discrepancy is found, then clubs are asked to pass on this information for the benefit of all. Amendments and additions are regularly published or appear in the Magazine. 
• Regular Federation Magazines - Twice a year a Magazine  is published for the benefit of member clubs. Click here for examples 
• Guidelines for Exhibitors - The Federation has produced some guidelines to help local exhibitors to recognise what judges are looking for and to encourage novices to support their local shows. These are available from the Secretary at £6.00 per 20 copies post free.
• Guidelines for Show Organisers - some hints and tips on how to put together a Flower Show
• Invitation to our Annual General Meeting - The Annual General Meeting of the Federation takes place in May each year. 
• Draft Constitution for your Club.

Annual Cost of Membership

The current cost of an Annual Membership is £10.
