We are affiliated to The National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies (NAFAS), and cover Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and all of South Wales. The area was formed in 1959 and currently consists of 68 Flower Clubs, with almost 4000 members. It is also a registered charity, and uses all surpluses to further its aims of education, promotion and improving the standards of flower arranging in the Area.

If you love flowers and flower arranging, why not join your local flower arrangement club? You will be assured of a warm welcome!

LATEST NEWS!

Good news for all Facebook Fans! We now have our very own Facebook page which you can access from the Facebook logo on the left. Post your pics, events, comments, etc. and we can all have a look!

CONGRATULATIONS to Ann-Marie Alexander (Newport Floral Society) and her team who won a GOLD for the Area exhibit at the Malvern spring show! Their exhibit was fantastic. Congratulations also to everyone in Area who entered the competitions - we did so well and gained many awards. You can see the full results here, and Chrissie Harten was at the show and took lots of photos of the exhibits which you can see here.

QR Codes are the future! You will have seen these funny little square codes printed on everything from cereal boxes, plant labels and books to advertising hoardings. The one shown is the Area website QR code and you can get further information and download it for your publicity literature here.

Would you like to have a web page for your club? It’s FREE!

Chris Harten, our website guru, will soon be adding pages to our website to display details of clubs in our Area so that all of our clubs can have a presence on the Internet, and people searching for a flower club near to them will be able to find details of their local club. This will be great free publicity, so if you would like to have your own page, just email Chris (webmaster@tcandsw.org.uk) with the following details:

1. Name of your Club

2. Venue (address and postcode)

3. When you meet (day and time)

4. Cost of membership and entry for visitors

5. A copy of your current programme

6. URL of your own website if you have one (the more links you have to your own website, the better!)

(Contact details can be included if the club wants them displayed, but that’s not absolutely necessary and would be up to individual clubs).

Go on, give it a go - what have you got to lose?

Pictures of the exhibits from Harrogate can be viewed here, and from Cardiff here.

Our Area Photographic Representative, Phil Gray, has compiled a fantastic schedule for the 2012 Photographic Competition which will be part of the Brecon Flower Festival. There’s something for everyone, so nobody has an excuse not to enter! Download the Photographic Competition Schedule here.
