Calling all flower arrangers and ladies or men who would like to be able to
arrange flowers.
We have a number of gaps on the Church flower rota due to people leaving
the village, retirement etc. So we want to recruit new people to take their
place. Experience is not necessary, as Joan Hollier and Enid Caldecott have
offered to give instruction in the finer arts of flower arranging.
Interested? Then give Adrianne Woodward a ring on 01386 750936 to find out
more.
