At our October meeting, we were delighted to welcome 43 members and nine visitors for our demonstration by Sheila Hand, entitled the third season. Sheila demonstrated six lovely arrangements, which were raffled at the end of the demonstration.

Our next meeting will take place tomorrow (Thursday) at All Saints Church Hall, Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove, at 2.30pm when national demonstrator Margaret Ecclestone will be demonstrating a joyful Christmas. The demonstration will be followed by tea or coffee and biscuits, plus the raffle.

This month's flower arranging competition for members is entitled take five flowers and there will also be the usual flower of the month competition when members may enter a flower at its best from their own garden.

We are always pleased to welcome new members and visitors, not only from Bromsgrove, but from all the surrounding districts.
