Meeting day: Mondays
(fortnightly) at 7.15pm Our Club motto is ‘Friendship through Flowers’. We celebrated our 40th Anniversary in June 2016 and continue to be a very happy club with a friendly, relaxed manner. Auchincruive Floral Art Club is a hands-on club where a tutor comes to each meeting to demonstrate flower arranging Members are given a list of flowers and accessories to bring along and the tutor completes two designs - one for beginners and one for more advanced arrangers Members then complete their own arrangement with help and advice from the tutor At the end of the evening we all go home with our “creations/masterpieces” We are a small, friendly club and new members are made most welcome. Visitors may join us for an evening for £4 to experience for themselves, the fun from flowers Auchincruivefloralartclub@gmail.com
On 3rd May 2019, members
of the Auchincruive Floral Art Club, Ayr
participated in the Lonely Bouquet - Take me
Home/Friendship Bouquet event.
A display of flowers was created in the window of the PDSA Charity Shop in Ayr - advertising the event and taking the opportunity to promote the club . (PDSA is the UK's leading vet charity, providing free and low-cost treatment to pets in need". All flowers were donated by members and we received some lovely feedback:

This bouquet was
handed into a nearby shop - the person
thought it had been stolen! Was absolutely
delighted to receive the gift of the
flowers.
The last club meeting of the 2018-2019
session was held on 18th March.
The titles were all songs with a colour name in them. It obviously captured the members imaginations - we had a super turnout with many entries both from novice and more experienced members Raspberry Beret

very worthwhile cause.
