JAYNE EDMONDS - FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH

Our new programme started with a wonderful demonstration by Jayne Edmonds called - For the Beauty of the Earth.

Jayne was given a very warm welcome back to the club and members always look forward to her fantastic designs.

At the end of the demonstration Jayne surprised everyone with a group of ladies called Temptation A Capella, who entertained us with some memorable songs.

As usual at the end of the evening the flowers were raffled and lucky members were able to take home the lovely displays.

Jayne joked with the members asking how they would get her demonstrations home if they won and she hoped the winners had not arrived in a mini or 206 car!
