Eddisbury and Sandiway Flower Club

**Note: there are details of a Summer Workshop and Easter Competition further down this page**.

A warm welcome awaits you at our friendly flower club in Northwich, Cheshire

Eddisbury and Sandiway Flower club was formed over  65 years ago in 1959 and continues to be an active and friendly club. We aim to promote the love and knowledge  of  flowers and floral design.

We have approximately 60 members, all of whom have a passion for flowers and plants. Some members  design and create their own arrangements whilst others are happy to come along and watch local and National demonstrators  as they turn buckets  of foliage and flowers into stunning designs. Not only that, but the designs are the prizes in our raffle so you may even go home with more than you arrived with!

We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, excluding January and August. In October we hold our AGM and this is usually followed by a speaker or an activity. We also seem to consume a lot of tea and cake!

Our Meetings take place at:

Owley Wood Recreational Club,
Barrymore Road,
Weaverham ,
Northwich,
CW8 3LS 

Meetings start at 2pm. (Finish time is usually 4-4.30PM).

The doors open at 1.30pm to allow members time to have a chat, buy raffle tickets and to visit  our Trading Table.  Afterwards we invite you to have a cup of tea, to look more closely at the demonstrator’s work and to meet other club members.

Visitors are always welcome and they pay £10 for the afternoon which includes registration and refreshments .  There is no need to book...just come along on the day.

We aim to keep costs as low as possible  and the annual club subscription is a bargain! Members currently  pay  just  £35 for the year plus  £3  registration fee  at each meeting they attend.  This includes the cost of  refreshments, NAFAS affiliation fees, subsidised events and the chance to see some beautiful flowers.

During the year we hold competitions and workshops. We arrange club outings and in the past we have  been to  stately homes to see them decked out for Christmas. We have sales of pre-loved items and  plants as part of our  charity fund raising .  Club lunches and other events also form part of club activities.

Do come along (with a friend too if you like) and see if you would like to be part of our  thriving, happy and friendly club.

Eddisbury and Sandiway Flower Club Workshops

How do 12 ladies devour 3 pavlovas in one afternoon? Simple! Announce a workshop to complete a pavé design, add one hard of hearing lady, a dash of confusion and a brilliant chair woman who picks up an idea and runs with it. Result, a lot of fun, laughter and creative work at Eddisbury and Sandiway Flower Club’s Autumn workshop. Our dear member, Cathy, thought we were talking about pavlova, so Anne made it happen and we enjoyed delicious refreshments.

Eddisbury hosts seasonal workshops for members and visitors. These are suitable for all abilities. If you are new to flower arranging then these friendly, supportive workshops are exactly what you need. You can fiddle with flowers, ask questions and learn a new skill in a friendly, non threatening environment.

Our workshops are starting to fill up very quickly but we are happy to put names on the waiting list in case a space crops up. If you would like to join us for workshops, please contact Jean Jones on 07795555492

Christmas Workshop - Photos Below

Fifteen members and guests of Eddisbury and Sandiway Flower Club enjoyed an afternoon of fun, friendship and relaxing with flowers as they started their Christmas Preparations.

Those attending had the choice of making a table decoration or door wreath. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon which was led by Club members June Shallcross and Jean Jones.

We are planning on holding more seasonal workshops this year. If you would like more information about these or are interested in visiting/joining our friendly club then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
