Birstall Flower Club – Christmas Evening
On a very cold evening in late November last year 80 members and guests arrived to watch a Christmas Floral Demonstration by NAFAS National Demonstrator Tony Brown.
Welcoming warm mulled wine and mince pies were served and fresh and artificial wreaths made by the Committee were available to buy.
As usual Tony’s displays were as flambuoyant as himself. The audience laughed throughout the evening as he told numerous stories with a twinkle in his eye whilst arranging his imposing creations.
The wide variety of flowers and foliage and interesting containers all enhanced with Christmassy decorations made for a wonderful night to lead us up to the festive season. Sadly, Tony is retiring after many years and our Secretary Sylvia gave a vote of thanks and read a poem to him which she composed to celebrate his many years as a demonstrator. He will be greatly missed.
Our next Demonstration is Wednesday 22nd February at Birstall Village Hall at 7.15pm Visitors £5. Hope to see you there.
