A Spring Gathering
Floral Art's Spring Gathering, organised by the JDSE&P Committee, was a fun-filled day. In the morning we were entertained by Bronda Dossett, a NAFAS national speaker, who had us all laughing and even dancing with her 'Tales from Downton Abbey'. After lunch we were mesmerised by the talent and beautiful floral designs created by the Gill McGregor, a NAFAS National Teacher and author, who is known internationally for her creative designs and demonstrations.

Kent Floral Art AGM 2023
In earlier November 2023, members from all over Kent met at Ditton for our Annual AGM in which we said goodbye to Area Chairman Gill Smaggasgale and welcomed new Area Chairman Cecilia Sleap. Unfortunately, Area President Genister Spencer was unable to be present and so the meeting was chaired by Gill Smaggasgale and Avril Hill, Honorary Member and Elder Statesman, kindly stepped in to present the "badges". After the AGM we were entertained to a fabulous demonstration from Angela Turner. Angela has given permission for a few photos to be shared but they do not do justice to the fabulous stage full of flowers she ended with.
County Show 2023
As KCAS was celebrating 100 years we took as our inspiration for the show the innovations, inventions and notable achievements of the past 100 years. Congratulations to everyone who took part and who helped to put on the show

Club Day 2023 - Elham
Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Elham?
Kent Floral Art Club day took place in the delightful village of Elham near Canterbury. Despite the heat we had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed the day, catching up with friends, shopping opportunities and a great day of entertainment. In the morning we were entertained and informed by Brenda Eyres with a talk entitled "If you Want to Get Ahead..... Get a Hat!". Following our packed lunches in the garden of the hall enjoying the scenery, we were completely wowed by the extremely talented Mark Entwistle who had travelled from Cheshire to be with us. Mark's gentle style, fabulous designs and generosity of tips and information meant that the audience leapt to their feet for an extended standing ovation.
Photographs were taken by Pauline Pearce and have been published with kind permission from Brenda Eyres and Mark Entwistle.
