  •  Flower Arranging Classes with James Burnside & funded by Awards For All. 
            There was a great interest in this beginners class and both Monday & Wednesday nights had full attendance.  The participants soon flurished under the expert guidance of James and each week their confidence grew as did their arrangements!  Over a cuppa & a cake on the last night the groups agreed that they thoroughly enjoyed the class & the challenges that faced them each week.  Some new friendships were made & everyone agreed to continue flower arranging at home.
