THE AGM took place on Wednesday January 13 at the Offenham Village Hall. Mrs Sheila Hand presided. A full report of the years activities was given by the Chairman Mrs Lesley Kay. A report of the accounts was given by Mrs Katherine Icke auditor on behalf of the treasurer Mrs Mary Clarke. The re-election of officers took place and all members of the 12 strong committee agreed to continue in their various capacities, so were re-elected en- masse. We are indeed lucky to have such a willing band of helpers. Presentation of Trophies for the various competitions held during the year were awarded to the 1st 2nd and 3rd winners in each category. This concluded the business.

Refreshments were provided and served by the committee who also provided flowers for each table, the room looked lovely.

We enjoyed an hour of entertainment by Mr John Esselle an easy listening singer featuring Frank Sinatra and the Beatles to name a few.

The whole evening was enjoyable, so ladies if you would like to spend an evening once a month enjoying good friendly company and watching a demonstrator perform wonderful creations with flowers then come along to Offenham Village Hall on the first Wednesday of the month at 7.30pm where you can be sure of a very warm welcome.
