The flower arranging bug is in the genes, my cousin also called Jennifer, was trained as a florist by Constance Spry.
I joined Saltash Floral Art Club and St Budeaux & District Flower Club in 1974/75. After the arrival of my son Paul I belonged to St Budeaux Club only, holding various posts, programme secretary and meetings secretary. After retirement I re-joined Saltash Floral Art Club and am currently their programme secretary.
For a good few years now have been editor of the Devon & Cornwall Area Newsletter, the ‘Focus’ which, while on occasion been challenging, brings worth while benefits to the members of our area.

Jenny Dellow - Publications Officer
Now things are returning to a more normal way of life perhaps it is time for all you Program Secretaries to check your stock of Blue Forms you will need them when you start booking demonstrators for your club, I have plenty in stock.
Need an idea for a club workshop how about using one of the NAFAS booklets on leaf manipulation I have both 1 and 2 and having used them myself for an afternoon meeting great fun was had by all with some remarkable achievements.
If that doesn’t appeal what about the booklet entitled Twist and Turns illustrating how to use decorative wires, felt, wool and sticks. We see these techniques used in arrangements but don’t know how to achieve them our selves this booklet could be the answer.
I have other booklets and leaflets in stock on other subjects if you would like a list please email me.
