by Win Ross CHAIRMAN Julie Wade introduced Karen Schofield, who entertained club members with her demonstration entitled 'Season to inspire' and told stories of events that had inspired her while producing a collection of beautiful arrangements using seasonal foliage and flowers.

Karen's arrangements were mainly modern in design with several in the 'continental hedge' style, to great effect. The vote of thanks was given by Marilu Knowles.
