This year the Club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Tuesday, 15 July at 12 noon. 

It is anticipated that the AGM will last approximately 30 mins under the Chairmanship of Chris Riddle.

Following the conclusion of the AGM, the AGM Guest speaker will take the floor. This year we are incredibly fortunate to have Sir Nicholas Bacon KCVO, OBE, DL as our speaker.

Sir Nicholas, 14th Baronet is the Premier Baronet of England. He was the President of the Royal Horticultural Society from 2013 until 2020 and awarded the Society’s Elizabethan Medal of Honor in 2025. Since 2021, he is President of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (RASC).

He was a Council Member of the National Trust, and appointed Deputy Lieutenant of Norfolk in 1998.

In 2005, he was appointed to the Prince’s Council of the Duchy of Cornwall and served as High Sheriff of Norfolk. In 2006 he became Lord Warden of the Stannaries and Chairman of the Prince’s Council.

He is also President of the Norfolk Beekeepers Association.

Among his honours he was appointed OBE in 2010 for services to the community in Norfolk and KCVO in 2023 for his services as Lord Warden of the Stannaries. In March 2023, he was appointed Extra Equerry to King Charles III.
