Breaston Flower Circle Committee 2006 Monday 11th December saw Breaston Flower Circle celebrating their 10th Birthday, when 60 members attended a Dinner and Flower Demonstration at the Lodge on Elm Avenue in Long Eaton. Denise Tasker had decorated the tables with arrangements using Lilies, foliage, gold leaves and black ting ting representing our Club Logo. The evening commenced with a toast to the Club and the cutting of the Birthday Cake by the three chairmen we have had over the last 10 years. The Birthday Cake, decorated with our Logo had been made and iced by Gill Mills, another of our members. We also received a card from the East Midlands Area of NAFAAS congratulating us on our 10 years. The present Chairman Linda Smith presented our Founder chairman Marion Stokes, with an arrangement of White Lilies. After a lovely meal our Founder Chairman, Marion Stokes, demonstrated arrangements in the styles popular over the last 10 years, and entertained us for the evening. Her Title was “Congratulations” which means to express pleasure at good fortune. 
Past and Present Chairmen Marion started with a traditional red and green arrangement with candles suitable for Christmas on a black wrought iron stand. To represent the Flower Circle Marion then demonstrated a design on a circle of oasis with variegated foliages Yellow Pincushion Protea. Yellow roses, Cream Carnations, artificial gold vine leaves and gold poppy heads, again taking the colours from our Club Logo. 10 Years is the Tin Anniversary so her next design used various tin containers with pink and silver being the colour scheme. Beautiful Pink Gerbera, Purple Liatris, Ornamental Cabbages, Pink Feathers with Eucalyptus foliage and Dracena stems (Lucky Bamboo) completed the designs. Her final design were three complimentary arrangements on Metal stands using Palm leaves, White Longiflora Lilies, White Asiatic Lilies and White Anthuriums.
