Welcome to Clophill & District Flower Club

.
Welcome to Clophill & District Flower Club.  We are affiliated to NAFAS – The National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies – and we are keen to promote creativity with flowers. We are a group of mainly amateur flower arrangers who meet on the first Thursday of the month (except August) in Clophill Village Hall. Doors open at 6.45pm for 7.30pm start and visitors are very welcome at any of the meetings.  Our demonstrator will create approximately 6 arrangements whilst giving an informative and/or humorous talk.  Raffle tickets are available as well as a sales table of basic floristry sundry items.  So if you have a love of flowers or a keen interest in flower gardening and want to be inspired by a professional arranger, just come along or get in touch with us via the contact page for more details. 

Why not become a member?  Subscriptions and Visitors fees are reviewed at the AGM in January each year.   At the AGM on 9th January it was formally agreed that the Annual subscription for 2020 will be £38.  It will allow you to come to most of the events in our diary  for no additional payment - even the refreshments are included! It’s excellent value and an entertaining night out – just come along or get in touch with us via the contact form if you’d like more information.  Visitors fees are £5 per month, except when it is an Open Meeting in May and December when different charges are made.  

Clophill & District Flower Club was formed in 1976 by a group of ladies who wanted to share their love of flowers and we celebrated our Ruby anniversary in 2016 along with our past Chairmen.  Members of our flower club come from the various villages within our part of Bedfordshire and currently we have a membership of over 70  with ages ranging from early-thirties well into retirement age!

Our Charities
Each year a short list of local charities are nominated by the committee and Members are asked to vote for their choice at the February meeting.   At our monthly meetings we have a table of pre-loved items for sale donated by members and each year we are able to donate in the region of £500-£1000  to our chosen Charity.  


​The Club  members have decided that our 2020 Charity will be Cancer Hair Care incorporating 'Gigs and Wigs' for teenagers and 'Happy Heads' for young children.  It is a registered charity providing support for children after cancer treatment causing hair loss.  It is based in Stevenage but works locally in our area.  There will be a collection box on the charity stall for those who wish to donate but not necessarily buy from the stall and we hope, as always,  we can make a significant donation to this local charity.
