Stowmarket and District Flower Club on the look out for new members
Do you just admire them in other people’s gardens – or do you take pleasure in growing them in your own garden? Or do you prefer to have them indoors, giving your home brightness and colour?
Well now’s your chance to go along and watch experts make wonderful arrangements and get some ideas on what you can do at home yourself by visiting the Stowmarket and District Flower Club as it is now recruiting new members.
They meet every fourth Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm, usually at Woolpit Village Hall, and carry out a host of visits to local gardens along with organising lunchtime workshops in the winter.
Every November they have an Open Meeting, at Needham Market Community Centre, where they carry out demonstrations and have a variety of stalls selling clothing, jewellery, plants and craft work. There’s also the opportunity of meeting members from other clubs along with visitors.
Some members also take part in flower competitions at the Suffolk Show, Hadleigh Show and Bacton Fair.
At its annual general meeting there is always an interesting speaker and recently they have had a talk by Suffolk Wildlife Trust, a Wimbledon umpire and the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
If you are interested in joining just go along to have a chat with members. Visitors pay £7 to attend a session and the annual membership is £30.
