Eila Severn, Helen Taylor, Kath Brooks and Ruth Gostling met together and various suggestions were brought forward as to how we should continue in future. It seemed sensible and appropriate that we should follow the example of many other churches in this matter and draw up a rota of people willing to do the flowers from time to time. Eila is organising this and anyone who wishes to help in this way should give their name to her.

It is envisaged that people would do two consecutive weeks, each time with a different person, in order to give the job continuity. A minimum of two people are needed each week and more when preparing for festivals. By doing two weeks at a time people will know what flowers are available in church and what will be needed to be supplied fresh.

As far as the flowers themselves are concerned, we hope that when possible people will provide these from their own gardens. There is a fund available to buy flowers when necessaiy which is provided by donations collected in the box at the back of the church.

We do want to involve as many people as possible in this service and realise that Friday morning, which is when the flowers had usually been arranged, is not possible for many people. If you are at work or cannot manage Fridays, there is still room for you on the rota as you can choose a time to suit yourself. There will be a short meeting for anyone who is interested after the morning service on 5th June and again on 12th June. The most important requisites for this job are enthusiasm and love."
