January Meeting TITANIC - THE SHIP OF DREAMS’ - Nigel Wyles |
At our January meeting we welcomed not only a number of newcomers but also Nigel Wyles as our
demonstrator with his arrangements titled Titanic, the Ship of Dreams. We were treated to some very stylish and elegant arrangements as befitted the
glamorous ship and some interesting and informative commentary. An altogether absorbing evening. |

At the Club night in June we welcomed Janine Hall with her presentation Born
to Shop. As ever Janine multitasked her way through the demonstration being
variously a comedienne, actress, music coordinator etc as well as arranging
her flowers and judging our competition for us with her recent success as a
Nafas judge.
The members appreciated an absorbing and amusing evening. |
