At the annual Christmas Demonstration, Sue Bolton representing Breast Cancer Care, was delighted to accept a cheque for £2500 from Ninfield Flower Group’s Chairman Christine Purkess , expressing her thanks for the very welcome donation.
This charity was also the main charity for the National Association of Flower Arranging Societies (NAFAS) which celebrated its golden jubiliee in 2009. To mark the celebrations, Ninfield Flower Group joined many other groups and created a ‘golden ribbon of flowers’ throughout the United Kingdon and arrangements were to be found throughout Ninfield as well as Catsfield, Windmill Hill and Bexhill.
