NOVEMBER 20 was Per shore Flower Club’s Open Meeting at No 8 in Per shore. 182 seats were sold and in front of us was Nick Grounds from Wishbech in Cambridgeshire. His title was ‘Seasonal Anticipation’ Nick enthralled us all with his wonderful tales of family members and events from his past and also ancient folk law involving plants and flowers associated with the Christmas period, all whilst creating a wonderland on the stage for us all to enjoy. Sheila Hand who is President of 3 counties and South Wales section of NAFAS was guest of honour and gave a brilliant speech and vote of thanks to Nick Grounds, for what was a very entertaining evening. A very large number of raffle tickets had been purchased and besides the flower arrangements that Nick had created there were many other prizes to be won.

It was wonderful to see so many people at No 8 this year, some of whom had travelled great distances, Per shore Flower Club is always open to new members. Our next meeting is at People ton Village Hall on Wednesday, January 21 which is our AGM and fish and chip supper. Thank you to everyone who attended No 8 last Thursday night and we are glad you enjoyed your evening with us. Wishing you all a very Happy and peaceful Christmas.
