We have missed you all so much! We have missed your lovely smiles as you come into the hall, your happy chatter with your friends, the oohs and aahs as orchids and roses appeared and the delight on your faces as you realised you had won a raffle prize! We hope the phone calls helped to fill the gap a little and that you have all stayed safe and well. Now it’s time to start thinking about all things “flowery” again!

The committee have been working away in the background to find a way to keep our lovely friendly club alive and flourishing. At the time of printing it is not possible to meet in our usual way. Sadly we have had to postpone the Afternoon Tea until 2021 and the September demonstrator, Delyth Price, has been rebooked for 2022!

November will be the AGM but we will have to review how we hold this nearer the time. Then it will be December and Christmas…. Hold that thought for now!!! These measures are being taken to comply with government guidelines and the Memorial Hall trustees with your safety and well being very much in mind.

We hope you will support us in our efforts to sustain Wistaston and District Flower Club. We need to continue as a vibrant, friendly club and build on our strengths. If you have any questions or comments please do get in touch with Jean or Judy via email or phone, we would love to hear from you.
