The North Midlands Area of NAFAS was formed on 28 June 1962 and covers Leicestershire, Rutland, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, East Staffordshire and South Yorkshire. There are 2,125 members in the 46 clubs which includes one Contemporary Floral Design Group: Future Concepts.
Our Founder President, the late Mrs Dorothy Cooke MBE was a National Life Vice President and NAFAS Founder Associate of Honour.
We are privileged to have Mrs Jenny Mellors DL, a NAFAS National Past Chairman Associate of Honour and Mrs Carolyn Wise, NAFAS Associate of Honour.
The Area Team plan and organise Area meetings, events, training, tests and education with the help of our Area Representatives.
The Area is fortunate to have a good representation of Judges, Demonstrators, Speakers and Teachers which includes 2 National Demonstrators and 7 National Teachers. Further details are available on the JDS&T webpage
The Teachers’ Association was founded in 1984 and has a programme of educational workshops for members, who then share that educational knowledge at Area and Club workshops. The TA also host an annual Open Day with National and International Demonstrators. Further details about flower arranging classes are available on the Education webpage
