We had 5 creative designers, their title, “Dancing Rhythms” a no foam exhibit. They were competing for the Dorset & Guernsey New Talent competition at President’s Day. A great day of Fun, Food, Flowers and Friendship. Many Congratulations to Denise Jones from Weymouth Floral Group who took 1st Prize in the competition with her stunning design. She will go on to represent the Area at the National competition being held at the Malvern Autumn Show. 2nd Prize went to Lucille Street from Verwood a very worthy runner up.  Congratulations to all those who took up the challenge and competed we were so pleased with all their wonderful work.  Whilst the competitors staged their designs the other visitors enjoyed a very interesting and passionate talk from Simon Goldsack of Holme for Gardens with “The Making of a Public Garden”.

After a good lunch, we had fun and lots of laughter  with “ready steady flower arrange” the arrangers being Allison Finch and John Astley who certainly entertained us with designs in an old boot and a set of kitchen scales. Meanwhile the judging had taken place and the competitors had time with the judge and then we were able to view the fantastic exhibits. Although the numbers attending were low it was a good day for socialising and catching up with friends, buying a little treat from Sheila’s mixed bag stall and just relaxing. Carrie our President thanked all those who attended and all those friends who helped and supported her.
