Knutsford Floral Design Club by Win Ross
Chairman Julie Wade welcomed members to the last meeting before the summer break and reminded members to buy their tickets for the Open Evening which will take place on Thursday, September 10 when Chelsea Florist of The Year Laura Leong will be demonstrating.
Julie then introduced the demonstrator for the afternoon, Alison Cooper from Salford with the title 'A Grand Day Out'. Alison produced six wonderfully colourful arrangements, each of which was inspired by an important element of a good day out during the summer. There was a design illustrating a sunburst, and one to represent a rock pool and another inspired by the sea. At the end of Alison's demonstration the stage was a blaze of colour. Club member Diana Jones gave the vote of thanks.
