On Friday 21st November we are holding a floral demonstration by Ian Lloyd. Extraordinary flowers… no ordinary florist, Ian has been voted one of the country’s top ten florists by The Independent newspaper. With his exacting standards and expertise he will provide a demonstration of arrangements for club members and guests at Tutbury Village Hall to thrill us all. From flower arrangements in castles and stately homes, to cruise boats or private parties and anniversaries Ian’s displays have graced them all. This event is not to be missed, nor is the chance to possibly win the arrangements forming a part of the night’s raffle.
