Published: on 21st November 2006 by Alix Peacock in Development Campaign News
York Minster's Development Campaign is to benefit from the proceeds of a Christmas Flower Arranging Demonstration, organised by the Chorister parents, which will take place at 2.00pm on Tuesday 5th December 2006 in the beautiful atmosphere of the Chapter House at York Minster. Tickets are available at £6 each from Suzanne Parkes - Telephone: 01904 794447 or Beryl Plimmer - Telephone: 01904 738485. The ticket price will also include refreshments.
Sue Maddocks, a Chelsea Flower Show Medallist and NAFAS Area Demonstrator, will lead this demonstration of Christmas Flower arranging techniques for the home. Sue Maddocks has demonstrated flower arranging across the UK and beyond - demonstrating as far afield as Spain. Ms Maddocks will demonstrate a range of flower arranging techniques; from the traditional to the contemporary including an arrangement in silver and white entitled 'Christmas Wonderland'.
Suzanne Parkes, who has organised the event is keen to show support for the Minster from the Chorister parents: "Each day, live music is produced in the heart of the city of an incredibly high standard, hopefully the afternoon will go some way towards helping keep this music alive."
Watkinsons Shoes have kindly agreed to sponsor the event.
