April Meeting - Flowers with Victoria

The TCC was packed out with ladies in their Easter finery ...... with Sybil, Angela and 'honorary' member Eleithyia amongst the first to arrive.


We were all given a 'free' raffle ticket by our speaker for the evening, local florist Victoria Firth.  She gave us a heart-warming explanation of how she came to give up her Nursing career following the death of her husband to follow her dream of opening a flower shop and how her dream had turned into a very successful reality.
She gave us a demonstration of how to make a successful bouquet of flowers which was won as a raffle prize by Dorothy.

After a lively 'question and answer' session Victoria kindly offered to judge our Easter Bonnet parade which was won by Shelagh with Ann as runner-up - we all agreed with her choice the bonnets were superb!



After the business part of the meeting we then enjoyed wonderful refreshments served by our resident 'tea-bunnies'  .....

Coffee morning for Weston Park on the 14th April.


All in all a really lovely evening - thanks Victoria.
(Not forgetting our hard-working committee!)
