OUTINGS
We usually start the New Year with an evening meal at local restaurant/pub. In the summer we have been to local garden centres which involves afternoon tea or sometimes have an afternoon/early evening garden party at one of our members gardens. These have proved to be very successful and enjoyable social events which the members attend and bring a guest.

WAFA (Dublin June 2014)
Congratulations to Debbie who entered the World Show. For those members who were able to attend the show it was is was lovely to see all the exhibits from around the world. The floral arrangements were stunning, a lot of thought and preparation had gone into creating such high standards of work --- there is a lot of talent in the floral world. The next World show is in Barbados 2017.
