The May club meeting took place on Monday May 9, one week later than usual due to the Bank Holiday.

After greeting members and guests, chairman Michael Handy read a few notices not least of which were details of the annual charity event presented by local florist Andrew Lloyd at the Rose Theatre Kidderminster June 27, 28, & 29 proceeds go to local charities.

The demonstrator for the evening was Julie Pierce, NAFAS area demonstrator from Worcester. Her title ‘One step through the clouds’ took us on a spellbinding trip to Nepal.
