To all my friends at Clophill and District Flower Club - August Newsletter
​Our Club does not meet in August but I still want to keep in touch and keep you informed of plans for the future.  Life is a bit more normal and we are able to get out and even go on holidays. John and I went for a break in the Cotswolds and had a lovely time visiting NT gardens, Westonbirt Arboretum and the Cotswold Sculpture Park, although this was rather expensive as we bought a beautiful owl sculpture for our garden.

​Home Counties Area AGM, lunch and demonstration 19th November  
​Due to the current situation we are holding this lovely occasion at High Leigh Conference Centre in Hoddesdon where there is excellent parking and facilities. Tickets for the day will be £35 including lunch and I know it will be good to have the opportunity to go out and meet others. As always, safety will be the first consideration.
Next Meetings  The Committee have decided that our next demonstration and Club Meeting will be on:

7th October. The demonstrator will be Arnaud Matairie, who has been highly recommended and is featured regularly on YouTube. He is French but has no accent!  I hope that you will all feel confident to come back to the Club and enjoy meeting up again with friends who you haven’t seen for 18 months.  All safety precautions will be taken.

4th November Fiona Harrison will be demonstrating. She has won many prizes recently in Area competitions and also at Blenhiem Palace show

2nd December  Lorena Dyer will be returning to entertain us for Christmas
ALL meetings will be free to all paid-up members - £5 non-members
