News Update – September 2019

Once again we have enjoyed our summer meetings in a different way.

As so often has happened we had a lovely summer’s evening in July when we visited a very beautiful local garden at Brick Kiln House. We enjoyed the tranquil walk through the gardens followed by some friendly chat over a cuppa and a slice of homemade cake.

In August we arranged an exchange deal with Dereham Flower Club. They came to Breckland Hall and provided us with a demonstration of flower arrangements by five of their members who talked us through some of their favourite holidays and locations, whilst depicting them in flowers and foliage.

Later in the month some of our members returned the favour by visiting Dereham and providing them with a similar evening’s entertainment with a display of beautiful flower arrangements.

We look forward to our next demonstration on 5th September when one of our favourite local demonstrators David Wright entertains us for the evening with his flowers entitled ‘Famous ladies’. The demonstration starts at 7.30pm followed by refreshments and some chat with friends.

Looking forward also to the following demonstration is on 3rd October by Grania Newton entitled ‘Yeats Country’.

At our September meeting we will be planning ahead and tickets will be on sale for our Christmas Meeting on 5th December when we have our usual Christmas Stalls, demonstration and wonderful buffet.

We look forward to seeing all our members and very welcome visitors on Breckland Hall on 5th.

News Update – July 2019

During our June meeting we were entertained by Anne Bell who created representations of her title “From me to you”. Anne showed us a whole range of arrangements using beautiful foliage and a wonderful array of colourful summer flowers.

Her version of a tied bunch showed us that a couple of large leaves, a few roses and some wonderful orchids can give you a fabulous display without even using floral foam. In amongst her other arrangements Anne also recreated a very dramatic sunset simply by using a range of strong red and orange colour flowers in a horizontal design.

As usual we take a break from demonstrations in July when we visit a local open garden on 11th, where we look forward to enjoying a walk around the garden, followed by a drink and some home made cake. An ideal summer’s evening, so fingers crossed for a dry sunny day!

On Thursday 1st August we are back at Breckland Hall for an evening of flower arranging  with our friends from Dereham Flower Club providing us with a demonstration starting at 7.30pm followed by tea/coffee and biscuits.

As always we look forward to seeing our members and non members, who are very welcome, so why not come along and enjoy flowers, foliage and the company of friends.
