Andrew’s wonderful demonstration was given a standing ovation by the 89 members and 15 visitors who attended this early March meeting. The flowers were spectacular and his use of them made everybody long to be a raffle winner. Many thanks to Pam Slater for her vote of thanks and Margaret Hunter for her Foyer Flower Arrangement. Thanks to the members who helped at the meeting with the stalls, raffle and assisting Andrew to load and unload his amazing props.
