We are proud of the fact that we were the second club formed after Mrs Pope founded the first one in Dorchester. We have a varied programme during the year, mainly a visiting demonstrator and some practice afternoons, when members are hands on. We occasionally book a national demonstrator for an open meeting, when the general public are able to attend. Over the years the club has been successful at Chelsea Flower Show and the National and Area shows. We have also decorated many churches and arranged flowers for different local charitable events in the town.<\/p>\n<p>The club\u00a0is always happy to welcome visitors and especially new members.<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>Programme 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\t<p>\u00a09th February\u00a0 \u00a0 AGM and Tea<\/p>\n<p>9th March\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Demonstration &#8220;Spring Time&#8221; by Angie Blackwell<\/p>\n<p>13th April\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Workshop &#8220;Spring Baskets&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>11th May\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Talk &#8220;Hats&#8221; by Sue Outhwaite of Snooks in Bridport<\/p>\n<p>8th June\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 75th Anniversary Tea<\/p>\n<p>13th July\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Workshop &#8220;Harvest Themes&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>August\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0No Meeting<\/p>\n<p>14th September\u00a0 \u00a0 Workshop &#8220;Tapestry Design&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>12th October\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Workshop &#8221; Vegetative Design&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>9th November\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Bridge House Flowers- sustainable flowers for Christmas<\/p>\n<p>14th December\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 &#8220;Home for Christmas&#8221; In House Demonstration<\/p>\n\t<p><strong>Chairman:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Secretary: <\/strong>Janette Broom &#8211; broom2006@btinternet.com &#8211; 01308 456339<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programme Secretary<\/strong>: Pat Fowler- triciadfowler@gmail.com &#8211; 01308 456142 \u00a0<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Dorset Flower Club The West Dorset Flower Club meets in the afternoon (2:30pm) on the 2nd Monday of the month at: &nbsp; The WI Hall North Street Bridport DT6 3JQ West Dorset Flower Club was formed in 1951 and has about sixty members at present.
