Today saw All Saints Flower Arranging Club celebrating their 45th Anniversary.
The club started when 13 ladies, whose flower arranging classes had been unexpectedly cancelled, decided to open a club themselves. Two of those original members were at the afternoon tea today to celebrate.
Demonstrator Irene Hickson came and did a “Dem and Do”. If you have never had one of these your demonstrator shows you one demonstration design and then a second design that the members all then have a go at doing - so somewhere between a demonstration and a workshop.
There were lots of beautiful spring flowers on show and the “forest” design worked really well. The club has several new members and even today had a visitor who decided to join at the end of the session.
After making their designs the members got together for the cutting of the cake. Area Chairman Pip Bensley said a few words commending the club on all their hard work creating such a friendly active club.
Members then tucked into a delicious “pot luck” afternoon tea followed by a slice of the celebration cake.
45 years is something to be enormously proud of so “well done All Saints!”
