What a lovely evening! As usual Avril did us proud – wonderful flowers and arrangements, and at the end the stage looked stunning.

It is difficult to believe that this is the last time that Avril will demonstrate for us. As she reminded us, she actually retired from demonstrating at the end of last year, but agreed to do this last demo for us as it is our Diamond Anniversary year. Over the years we have enjoyed many fantastic and amusing demonstrations by Avril, and we would like to extend our very grateful and affectionate thanks for them all.

However, she continues to teach, so we are hopeful that we may be able to persuade her to lead a workshop in the future, and of course, we hope to see her occasionally at club.
