2019
November - Open meeting with John Chennell
National Demonstrator, John, Chennell, provided us with a very entertaining evening in the Shaftesbury Arts Centre with a demonstration entitled 'In Festive Mood'.
June - Outing to Mottisfont
A group of members, their partners and friends enjoyed a lovely day at Mottisfont. The weather was kind to us and the roses looked wonderful.
May - Willow workshop
We organised a day school but instead of doing anything floral we opted for a willow workshop with Nicky Heal. Nineteen members signed up to the challenge and what a super day it turned out to be. We had the choice of making a deer, a sheep or a duck and when the day finished at 4pm we had created a small herd of deer, a collection of ducks, one lonely sheep and a group of tired but happy flower arrangers! Nicky was a wonderful teacher who gave everyone plenty of help when required and although at the end of the day some of the deer were not quite finished everyone went home with the knowledge and wherewithal to complete the job. Several participants wanted to know when we could have him back for another day!
