Members and guests enjoyed David Wright's demonstration 'Forever Chasing Dreams' at May's meeting. Visiting Holland, taking up riding, passing a driving test and an impossible dream were all interpreted with pristine foliage and flowers which included roses, stocks, veronica, green Anastasia chrysanthemums and carnations. Torvil and Dean's Olympic dream included sprayed aspidistra leaves, cocoa spathes (for ice skating blades) and pink germinis. David had dreamed of seeing Phantom of the Opera for over 20 years and his design included burgundy roses and deep red carnations which, together with a mask, were inspired by the programme cover.
In the monthly competitions the Old Hands class was won by Sylvia Briggs and New Hands by Alison Vivian who also won the monthly trophy. Alison had further success in the table show - tying first with Jean Shave.
