The West Lancashire Flower Club

About us:

The Club began with a meeting in 1953 when Mrs Dorothy Tuffin was invited to demonstrate some Christmas Arrangements, as soon as the meeting was over names of those wishing to join were taken, numbers quickly reached 100. The first official meeting as a Club though was in January 1954, the membership increased over the years until it reached 250 and at that point it was decided that this should be the full membership and a waiting list was started. There is a full history of the beginnings of the club featuring familiar names from the past founders of flower clubs in the UK.

Currently, The West Lancashire Flower Club has a membership of 219 members.  We meet at St James' Memorial Hall, Lulworth Road, Birkdale, Southport at 2 p.m. every third Wednesday of the month, except for September when we move to the fourth Wednesday, no meetings are held in either August or December.

We have a committee of thirteen which is led by our new Chairman Pat Armstrong, whom many North West Area members will know well. Our Vice Chairman is Helen Whitehill,  Club Secretary is Margaret Fletcher and our Treasurer is Josephine Yates, a lady who needs no introduction!

We have a thriving Sales Table at each monthly meeting and our Publications section is also very well supported.

Our annual subscription is £21.00 and £3.50 per meeting for guests, who can only attend three meetings without full membership. No guests are permitted at the November meetings due to lack of space in our Hall.

2011

Our chosen Charity at present is The Ronald McDonald House at Alderhey Hospital. Special raffles will be held at our events throughout the year to raise money for this wonderful, local charity.

MEMBERSHIP AVAILABILITY.

For the first time in many years, membership is available to join our club. We are always delighted to accept new members and the ideas they bring with them. Why not come along as a guest to one of our meetings before joining?  You can be sure of a warm and friendly welcome, excellent floral demonstrations, plenty of additional events and outings throughout the year. We also run days classes for members who want to expand their flower arranging skills.

Contact details are on our page - we would love to hear from you!
