It’s that time of year… again!

​

The end of January is when we get back together to plan the new year's flower show. With our first meeting under our belts,  the schedule is written and ready for you to view here, just click on the tabs above

​

This year's charity will be ‘Parkinsons UK’ which has been suggested by Edwina and George Wakley. Both are great supporters of the flower show and are keen to support a member of their family who is challenged by the condition. It was a charity that I was also delighted to support as my poor old Dad is blighted by it, as was his father, so I know how appreciated our donation will be by those in the Parkinsons community. Linking classes to the charity we will be focussing on ‘the five senses’ as many of these can be impacted by the disease for some people.

 

To support this we will be asking you to enter the craft class and crochet or knit twiddlemuffs so that we can take them to local care homes to comfort people who have Parkinson’s disease and also those with dementia. I might be asking if I can send one back home to the North East as my crocheting skills leave something to be desired!

 

It’s the first time that we will be allowing people to enter as many items that they would like to / feel able to in this class so that we have lots to give in support of our local homes. 

 

So, for those of you who like to get planning, have a look at the classes, it won’t be long until those veggies and flowers will need planting.

 

Oh and finally, save the date, Sunday 17th August 2025.
