Today we would have been in Folkestone at our Area Day to celebrate our Diamond Anniversary and been able to raise a toast to the Area's past and to its future as we move forward with Flowers and Friendship. Sadly this virus has prevented us from meeting but let us all raise a glass (literally or metaphorically) wherever we are to every member of Kent Area of NAFAS and to soon being able to be back together again. Cheers!  As you may be aware, two Directors of NAFAS. Vice Chairman Craig Bullock and Pam Ferguson resigned last week. Both thanked their fellow Directors for their friendship during their time in office. The Board also announced the resignation of the Chairman of the Editorial Committee and Director of NAFAS Enterprises Ltd, Muriel Simpson. Following, this the remaining Directors have met and released the following statement.  The Area Show has now been postponed until next year. Colour Revolution will now take place at the Kent Garden Show, Detling 29th to 31st May 2021. For all information regarding entries and fee please contact compseckanafas@gmail.com
The schedule for the photography competition 2021 is now ready to download from the photography page of this page. Time to get your cameras out!  As it is not possible to distribute a hard copy of the usual magazine, an electronic version has been prepared. Go to the Kent News page of this website to download it.  For the third edition in a row, Kent Area members have featured in the Flower Arranger. Look out for designs from Jacqui Arnold, Helen Hare, Ellouise Hasler-Stott and Anne Luckett. What a wealth of talent we have here.
Over the Bank Holiday weekend Jacqui and Sue gave presentations on the Friends of NAFAS Facebook page. Jacqui shared a demonstration from her beautiful garden and Sue spoke about her experience of being part of the Kent Team who did the Chelsea exhibit - she was even wearing her pink jacket!
