Notices
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this such an incredible event. Words are wholly inadequate to capture the creativity and beauty of all of the arrangements and the hard work that went in not only with regard to the flowers but all of the associated activities. Early indications are that the net profit is likely to be around £7,000 but the figures will naturally take a little time to pull together to give a final total. Thank you again for all of your dedication and commitment. James, Gwen, Jenny and Elaine
