LATEST NEWS...........

We welcomed Alison Gillott back at our March meeting with her latest demonstration 'Sweet Tooth'. Alongside her magnificent flower arrangements Alison reminded us of the sweets and chocolate bars that we had enjoyed in our childhood. We went home hungry to taste some of those old fashioned sweets again.

COMING UP...............

On April 7th we are having a Club Workshop entitled 'Cup and Saucer'. We will be making a small arrangement in a tea cup and saucer and another in a fairy cake/muffin case. The club will provide, oasis for your tea cup and a cake case containing oasis for the arrangement alongside the tea cup.

Please bring your own cup and saucer with you as well as suitable flowers and foliage, scissors/secateurs.

Refreshments will be available during the evening. Come and take part in this post Easter activity, it will be a chance to have a practise and get ideas for our Summer show which includes a class 'Time for Tea'; an arrangement in a tea cup.

Bring and Buy Table - 7th April 'Books and DVDs'.  I do like a good read. I nearly always have a book on the go. This month look out any paperbacks or hardbacks, fiction or non-fiction or DVDs that you are ready to pass on. Unsold items can be reclaimed or may be kept for future raffle prizes. Thank you for bringing along your jigsaws last month. They were a great success and sold really well; our most successful bring and buy todate!

After a successful year last year we have our Charity Flower Sweepstake running again and are continuing to raise money for St Catherine's Hospice and the Cat's Protection League. Flower names are £1 and when all are sold they will be put into a draw for a potted plant. So don't forget to bring along some cash to buy a flower.

EARLY REMINDER: Get ready for our PLANT SALE at clubnight on May 5th.  Pot up and bring your divided perennials or any surplus cuttings that have been nutured in the green house overwinter. Why not plant some seeds so they have time to become small plantlets for the May meeting? 

SAVE THE DATE Our summer show date has been confirmed as Saturday July 11th and will be held at English Martyrs Church Hall. It is entitled Summer Sizzler! Schedules will be available soon at a clubnight.
