Summer Garden Party 26th July
Due to the weather, we were delighted to be able to use the Guildhall in Lavenham for this years party, the members were able to enjoy the lovely gardens before the rain came, and we moved inside. Around 48 members attended the event.
There are a few pictures from this event on the gallery page.
On the 5th April 30 members and guests enjoyed the first outing of the year, this was to Ousden House Nr Newmarket. The gardens are renowned for their amazing colour throughout the year, and members were amazed at the variety of spring colour in the gardens. The afternoon ended with a wonderful afternoon tea enjoyed by all. A new photo album for this event has been created in the Gallery page.
At the meeting on the 29th March, the members enjoyed an evening with local florist Wendy, from WB floral designs,demonstrating how to do a simple spring arrangement, Wendy discussed how to prepare the flowers and foliage. The members went on to do their own arrangements. A few photos from the evening are in the gallery.
