Sherborne Flower Club members were delighted to share their Platinum Anniversary evening with Doreen Sharpe who is 102 years young and was a founder member of the club back in June 1953. Honoured guests Area President Carrie Diamond, Area Chairman Sylvia Preston and Vice Chairman Karen Boyce were also in attendance along with 20 club members and Doreen’s daughter Polly.

A finger buffet, scrumptious elderflower and lemon celebration cake made by Wendy Wheeler and fizz was followed by a wonderful floral demonstration from the very entertaining and knowledgeable Michael Bowyer.

Photographs by Peter Rylands show.
