Janet James "Let’s Celebrate"

Our 'Open Meeting' at Campion School was on 16th October. National Demonstrator was Janet James, and what a lovely evening we had with her.

As you might expect, her flowers were beautiful and the designs different, and pretty spectacular.

She did nine arrangements in every colour spectrum.

We were delighted to be joined by Area President Diane Everton, and Area Chair Jean Myatt.

Also special guests for the evening were Steve and Becky from the Daisy Chain Charity, a local Northampton charity which provides social and leisure activities for disabled children and their families.

It is quite amazing the range of activities these people provide i.e. ice skating in wheelchairs, the mind boggles!

We were absolutely delighted to be able to help them, and a cheque for £1,000 was presented by the Society, to them.

If you would like any further information on the charity, then please contact them on 01604 580283.

October is also the month of our own Coral Anniversary and we celebrated with a dinner and musical entertainment by the Richtones,

Our special guest The Area Chairman, Jean Myatt, proposed the toast to the Society and then help the Society’s Chairman, Maureen Wright to cut our celebration cake.
