Friends and Flowers

 I want to introduce Bottesford Floral Art Group to everybody, though to be fair we are not new. Next year we will be celebrating our 60th birthday so you could say we've been around a while. However, I feel that having dropped off the radar somewhat it's maybe time to let you know more about us and hopefully pique your interest.

We were established in 1964 as a flower club affiliated to NAFAS (National Association of Flower Arrangements Societies) and I suppose back in those times the stereo typical member you would imagine would maybe have been the 'twinset and pearls' brigade. I can assure you that we are far from that. We are a friendly vibrant group of all ages. We have members who are very skilled and love the opportunity to try things out for themselves, but we also have members, like me, who just love to watch the demonstrations and be educated and entertained for a couple of hours.

We have a fantastic programme lined up this year including demonstrations entitled 'Viva Andalusia', 'Love is in the Air' and 'Spring Forward' . We have a Christmas demo which is always popular and a chance to try things yourself in June. We are holding a fund-raising fashion show on March 29th - Everybody is welcome (£5) and are taking a bus to RHS Harlow Carr in July. So, you can see - it's pretty action packed.

All this takes place on the third Tuesday of the month in Bottesford Village Hall at 7.30pm, with refreshments and a raffle.

Why not give us a try? Come and visit (£10), relax and unwind for a while and see what you think. For further information please feel free to contact me, Fiona (Chair) 07923516505. Looking forward to seeing you. Facebook Bottesford Floral Art Group.
