Our home team gave a sparkling demonstration titled “Winter Wonderland”. A delicious lunch and the surprise entertainment from the Purbeck Quire and our traditional carol service gave us a lovely start to our Christmas celebrations.

Good AGM this morning, Rees and Jean retired from office after a great 2 years of work on our behalf. Good Luck to Jan and Sandra as our new Chairman and Area Secretary.

Super demonstration from Nigel Whyles this afternoon completed a very enjoyable day.

The team have moved into a barn where they are mocking up their exhibit. They are waiting for the RHS to give their idea the go-ahead.

We are delighted to welcome the members of the Dorchester Floral Group as new members of the Area. This sees the return of a club to Dorchester where Mary Pope began our association with the Dorset Floral Decoration Society.
