u3a Floristry
We are an informal friendly group No experience necessary
Just the love of fun and flowers.
A theme for an arrangement is demonstrated one month and carried out by the group the next month.
The results are individual variations on a theme.
Our leaders, Deborah and Jo will guide you through the relaxing processes of flower arranging.
Be suprised at what you can achieve from very little.
New Members are always welcome, please join via the u3a Floristry group page
Group Leader: Deborah
We have a lively WhatsApp group with lots more photos and information (if you wish to be included).
Meetings are on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Christian Life Centre at the end of the Marine Lake 1-3pm.
The cost is £5 per session and we will no longer charge for absences, but do let us know if you intend to be on holiday.

July's Special Meeting
Our meeting in July was touched with sadness as we marked the retirement of
Betty our Leader - Demonstrator and teacher of 13 years.
To Celebrate this amazing achievement and to say "Thank You" to Betty and her friends, Xria and Cath who have helped her over the years, the group organised a super Tea Party with lots of scrumptious homemade sweet and savoury goodies.
The meeting kicked off with our usual session of having fun arranging flowers (all of which decorated the party table)
Then to our great surprise, as the party started Chris the Chair of Southport U3a joined the celebrations to say a special "Thank You" from the U3a and presented Betty with a U3a badge along with our Thank You /retirement gifts for all the team.
Although touched by sadness of loosing our lovely leaders, we all enjoyed a
jolly good
afternoon tea and each others company.
