LATEST NEWS...........
At our August clubnight we did something a little bit different; we had a fun group flower arranging session. We divided up into 4 tables and each table was given a bowl with oasis in. Buckets of flowers and foliage were also provided and each table used the materials to create their own unique flower arrangement. There were roses, chrysanths, and stocks to incorporate and all kinds of greenery including fatsia leaves, soft ruscus and pittosporum. Each table made a really colourful display. At the end everyone had a vote to choose their favourite. The arrangments were raffled off alongside other prizes. It was a really social evening with plenty of time to chat and enjoy refreshments.
COMING UP...............
At our September clubnight night we have a much anticipated visit from a truly creative flower arranger; Graham King. Graham has come to our club a number of times and not only does he have any number of interesting anecdotes but he always produces imaginative designs with the WOW factor. As we continue our Sapphire Anniversary year we have given him extra flower budget to 'do us proud' with a special demonstration entitled 'Inspirational'. It will be a great evening, an ideal one to bring your friends and family to. Visitors are always welcome.
The Bring and Buy table theme on 2nd September is Something Blue. Have a look around and see what you can find to donate for sale to raise club funds.
