Rushen Floral Art Club
About us:
Our present membership is approximately 50, the club was established in 1970 at the suggestion of Miss Julia Clements, who remained our patron until her recent death. We meet every third Tuesday of each month with the exception of August, and we are host to four or five North West Area, National and International demonstrators each year.
Our demonstration evenings are usually held in Erin Arts Centre in Victoria Square, Port Erin (IM9 6LD) and are always open to visitors
Club Activities include regular course of lessons for all abilities, we take part in church flower festivals and have held our own floral art exhibitions, one of which was in November of Millennium Year and entitled 'Winter Wonderland'. We are involved in the Isle of Man Flower Clubs' Group gatherings and some of our members also belong to the Islands' active contemporary group 'Floreat'.
Club representatives have staged at many of The North West Area's festivals, they have also entered the National competitions and represented the island at the World Show in Glasgow in June 2002 and NAFAS at the Hampton Court Flower Show in 2007 where we gained a Gold Medal
At our recent AGM we were delighted to welcome three new members to the club. Our new Chairman and her Committee will soon be busy planning a busy and interesting programme for the members and visitors alike - there's bound to be something that you'd enjoy so why don't you get in touch and we'll let you know more about us
You can see photos of work that our members did for the 2010 Manx Heritage Flower Festival at the Isle of Airport, with Rev MacMillan at a Flower Festival in San Francisco in September 2009 and at magical Fairy Tales at Hoghton Tower in October 2011 - check out the link below.
