Flower Circle
3rd Tuesday of the month 2.00 - 4.00 pm
We are a friendly group who look forward to watching a new demonstration each meeting. Some members use these to build on their own knowledge of flower arranging and others just enjoy watching some amazing creations. Our demonstrators come from a wide area and show us many differing styles which provoke lively discussion, and we do learn a lot from each other. We would be delighted to welcome any visitors and prospective members.
