End of year report
Breaston Flower Circle have had a most wonderful 10th Year. We have had many demonstrations, including Tracey Neal with her “Greenleaf Girl”, Pauline Foster, Pat Billing, Marilyn Ottewell. Lesley Smith demonstrated “Just for Pleasure” for our open July meeting while Catherine Gledhill came with her contemporary demonstration “Just for Christmas” for our December Open meeting.
April saw a party of members and friends visit Holland to see how the Flower Market works and to visit the Keukenhof and Amsterdam to sample the delights of Dutch cuisine. A wonderful weekend with good weather and lots of money spent!
Our garden visit this year was to Tony and Domini Gregory’s lovely garden in Draycott.
We also visited Gawsworth Hall to see the wonderful Christmas arrangements orchestrated by Barry Grey in the beautiful house. I think we all would have like to have lived there. This was followed by lunch at Trentham Gardens with time for Christmas shopping
We finally celebrated our 10 years with a Dinner in December for all our members. Our three chairmen over the last 10 years all cut the Anniversary Cake, Marion Stokes, our founder chairman then demonstrated “Congratulations” showing how arranging had developed over the last 10 years. This was a wonderful end to an exciting year.
2007 is already booked and we have more exciting ideas for our members.
