Area demonstrator Alwyn Page stood in for Veronica Coe at the Christmas meeting, held this month, as Ms Coe was ill.

Her demonstration, entitled Pink Elephants and Lemonade, was accompanied by music.

She created five arrangements - Magic Lantern, Ireland, Mermaids, The Merry Go-Round and Land of Make Believe - using a variety of foliage and flowers.

These included aspidistra, Ivy, beargrass, conifers, variegated holly, acuba, fatsia, red peppers, berries, lilies, chrysanthemums, spray carnations, gypsophila, gerberas, nerines, orchids and roses.

In the Pink Elephant display was an archway complete with fairy lights, candles in lemonade bottles, white flowers and a pink toy elephant.

Names were taken for the Christmas supper on December 4, which is open to friends. The meal will start at 7.30pm.
