Registered Charity No. 517110

The Three Counties and South Wales Area is run by a council consisting of a representative from every club in the Area.

This council meets four times per year in Ross-on-Wye, and delegates the day to day running of the Area to an Executive committee consisting of a Chairman, 1st Vice-Chairman and 2nd Vice-Chairman, each of whom serve for three years. Also a Secretary, Treasurer, Chairman of Area Judges, Demonstrators and Speakers and Education committee (known as JDSE) and the current President of the Area.

The Area also sends representatives to the National Committees for JDS&E, photography, trading and media, which enables a two-way traffic for ideas and suggestions.

An Area Day is held annually, comprising a talk, demonstration, competitions, and sales tables. This, together with a President’s Day which raises funds for Area’s work, enables members from all parts of our area to renew and make new friendships.  

The JDS&E committee also run refresher days and training for Area tests for Judges, Speakers and Demonstrators, and competitors.

The Area regularly co-ordinates Flower Festivals in Cathedrals and other suitable venues to which all clubs are invited to participate.

A twice-yearly magazine - Area News - is produced to give Club news, details of forthcoming events, competition schedules and winners, a list of Area Officers, interesting articles, quizzes, etc., and this is available to all members.
