Report of July Meeting
At our July meeting, congratulations went to our team who achieved second prize in the competition at the Axe Vale Festival, with only half a point between our score and the entry in first place.
Next month we shall not be having a meeting, as we shall be off on our mystery trip on the evening of August 10th, among the activities we look forward to in the autumn will be Autumn Council at Plymouth in October and a Local Food and Farming Day and Hog Roast at Longdown in September, when Adam Henson will joining us.
Our speaker was Janet Durrant, who delighted us with some canny and creative ideas for unusual containers for floral arrangements. An ornamental 'cottage' teapot lent itself perfectly to a delightful rustic arrangement of Alstroemerias and Pittosporum. An empty wine bottle was quickly transformed to an elegant and sophisticated centre piece with three sprays of bridal gladioli and some alchemilla mollis.
Meanwhile, a full bottle of wine made a beautiful and most acceptable gift when decorated with a spray of roses and hebes, using a 'mini deck', obtainable from florists. Some lucky and delighted members were able to take these and other arrangements home, having won them in the draw. Anne Hiett brought along a magnificent spike of delphinium, and won the 'Flower of the Month' competition, Margaret Dare coming second with a penstemon.
The competition for a flower arrangement in a teacup was won by Joy Churchill, followed by Carole Bolton and Margaret Andrews.
No meeting in August.
