The Area Team plan and organise Area meetings, events, training, tests and education with the help of our Area Representatives.

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
