About the club

Cheslyn Hay and Great Wyrley Flower Club is a group of people who meet regularly to enjoy a shared passion for flower arranging. The club is affiliated to the Mercia and North Wales area of NAFAS -- National Association of Flower Arranging Societies.

In February 1972, when a group of like-minded ladies decided that they would like to learn more about flower arranging, the Club was formed. Their enthusiasm and passion for flowers brought the Club through the various flower arranging trends over the last 30 years.

Each year we have a set programme that includes

• demonstrations by NAFAS-trained demonstrators who entertain the audience with their floral interpretations and interesting anecdotes relating to their chosen theme,
• monthly tutored evenings when we learn new skills and designs
• outings to places with a flower arranging interest.

We have a tutor, Katie Teague, from Stemtations florist in Lichfield, so if you wish to master new, modern techniques in flower arranging--or if you are simply a beginner--please come along. You will be warmly welcomed by other ladies at various levels of proficiency.

We meet on average twice a month. Usually, the Flower Demonstration is on the first Thursday and tutored evenings on the third. This year, non-members are welcome to both the demonstration and the tutored evenings. Most evenings are free for members but cost £4.50 for non-members.
