Many of our members have been busy around the county, giving their time and talents at various church flower festivals. It is a lovely opportunity to 'have a go' without being competitive and to enjoy meeting new people in our beautiful churches.
HARVEST SUPPER at Margaret's Studio - This was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and our thanks goes to the hard working committee who organised such a lovely supper for us all. Thank you also to all those members who supported this social fund raising event. We look forward to another in the spring.
SANDRA SNELL - One of our very talented members!!
A few of our members went to Ross for their Sappire celebration where our member Sandra Snell was the demonstrator. As always beautiful arrangements accompanied by her dry sense of humour! Pictures below to prove it!

WINTER WONDERLAND
BY LEE BURREL |
8th November |

| We were very well entertained by Lee and his demonstration was very professional and was a lovely lead into the Christmas season. His mechanics were very special and yet not very difficult to execute, particularly the copper twisted wire interlaced with various gold and copper decorations. |
