Gifts were presented to the pair at the floral art group meeting which also saw congratulations offered to its chairman Phyllis Dulieu who has just turned 80.

The afternoon continued with a demonstration entitled Flights of Fancy by guest Kathy Stangaard who delighted her audience with her display of exotic flowers.
