Blackburn Flower Club
About us:
Welcome to Blackburn Flower Club’s website, the Club was founded in 1961 by Mrs Ruth Shaw and is one of the longest running flower clubs in the Lancashire Area. Our current Chairperson is Mrs. Margaret Lockhead.
Our meetings are held on the second and fourth Thursday of the month and our meetings are held at Trinity United Reformed Church Hall, Brownhill Road, Brownhill, Blackburn BB1 9QY. The second Thursday is practice night and the fourth Thursday is demonstration night. The club runs a sales table, supplemented with plant sales at various times of the year and publications/cards table at the monthly meetings; refreshments are also available at both meetings. The club organises several trips through the year. Our subscription for the year is £32 and visitors fees are £5 Visitors and new members are always most welcome to our friendly relaxed evenings.
Our club regularly contributes a team towards NAFAS North West Flower Festivals. Various members also participate regularly in local church flower festivals, the Lakeland Rose Show and various other horticultural events. We have members who are National Demonstrators who regularly show at the larger shows such as NAFAS National Show, Chelsea and Hampton Court.
The climax of the Club’s calendar is our Christmas Demonstration which in recent years has been held at Thwaites Theatre, Ewood, Blackburn and provided by a National Demonstrator. This year our Demonstrator will be William Dixon and the all-important date is 24th November 2011
