Bookham Flower Club

It’s such a boost when we move into Spring as there are so many lovely flowers for us to choose from.   There’s an extra pizzazz to the arrangements composed by the demonstrators at our meetings and an equally vibrant zing to the competition entries. Indeed in April the title 'Twisting and Turning' resulted in some very interesting displays.  'My Favourite Pot' in May brought forth a wonderful variety of containers – with two entries claiming a teapot as the favourite - and 'Summer Cascade' in June was just lovely.

June is a very busy month for all Bookham clubs and we were no exception.  At the beginning of the month there was a most enjoyable outing to the Chichester Cathedral Flower Festival followed by Polseden Lacey Community Day where two of our members designed and arranged a floral greeting for visitors as they entered from the car park.  Then there was Village Day!  Our Chairman and Programme Secretary even managed to create an entry entitled 'Melange' in the inter-society competition at Reigate Flower Club’s Show on the Saturday morning before Village Day got into full swing and flower baskets sped from our stall!  And then there was Quiz Night!!!

The pace will slacken a little as the summer advances and we build up to our own Floral Art Show 'Circle of Life' in September.
