Nailsworth & District Flower Arrangement Society: Sue Blandford, a national demonstrator from Usk demonstrates 'All one summers day'

SUE Blandford a national demonstrator from Usk took the stage for our August meeting.

The title for her demonstration: “All one summers day”, was a little difficult to imagine whilst listening to rain pouring down outside the Town Hall, but members couldn’t help but be impressed by the superb quality of flowers and foliage Sue used in her designs.

Arrangements flowed with unusual combinations of colours, oranges mixed with pale mauve, and cooler shades of lime green and then back to the colours of a tropical beach.

Sue’s motto: “improvise and overcome” was challenged when during her ‘finale’ steam from the boiler in the kitchen set off the fire alarm causing an immediate vacation of the hall whilst frantic attempts were made by members of the committee to switch off the alarm.

Peace was eventually restored and members were able to collect their coveted raffle prizes consisting of the wonderful flower arrangements Sue had made.

Our next meeting is on Wednesday, September 7 at 7-.30pm in the Town Hall when Delyth Price (Area) will be demonstrating “Night at the Musicals”.

New members and visitors are always welcome.
