Epworth and District Flower Club On a cool September evening the Flower Club met at their usual venue of St Andrew’s Church Epworth. The audience was slightly smaller than usual as several members were away enjoying a late summer holiday. There was also an element of illness and the original demonstrator herself had withdrawn due to ill health. However, Toni Gravel the Fountain Court Florist replaced her and entertained with a demonstration based somewhat on autumn and autumn fruits. She told her audience that the arrangements were to be of a suitable size for display on a table which was a very acceptable size especially for the lucky raffle winners. One arrangement actually incorporated vegetables and a wreath was created entirely using sprigs of ivy which is currently flowering beautifully. The evening was enjoyed by all and Toni demonstrated that beauty can be found in gerbera, gorgeous green chrysanthemums, roses, anthuriums and even broccoli.

The next meeting of the Flower Club will be held at 7.30 pm on Monday, 14th October when Marie Bradley will give a demonstration probably entitled “From India with Love”.

However the following month, November, sees the Open Evening when the Flower Club hosts Mark Entwistle. He will demonstrate in South Axholme Academy hall. Tickets for this event usually sell quickly so make sure you have yours.

Our Kiln Dried Firewood Logs are selected from the finest hardwood and have been through a kiln drying process, which means they are perfectly dried and ready to burn on your open fire or wood burning stove.

Light, clean and easy to handle, they also emit a delightful aroma when burnt.

The performance of your stove is directly related to the quality of the wood you use.

Our kiln dried wood has a moisture content between 10 and 20 percent, ensuring it burns hotter for longer, increasing the efficiency of your stove or appliance.
