Welcome to the NAFAS East of England website
We're one of the 21 Areas which make up the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies
(NAFAS). We have 79 Clubs plus two Junior clubs. Due to the expanse of our Area we are divided into five Groups: Cambridge, Colchester, East Suffolk, King's Lynn and Norwich.
You'll find details of dates for meetings, shows and events and can browse the photo galleries. There's information and contact details for the Area team and the Area's five Groups. We have all the Latest News and Chairman's Chat as well as the most recent Spotlight East newsletter. The Area has a good representation of Judges, Demonstrators, Speakers and Teachers. There's also lots of information about flower arranging courses and classes in the Education section.
If you love flowers and are interested in flower arranging, why not visit your local flower club? Just come and meet new people, enjoy yourselves and learn a bit about flower arranging; visitors are always warmly welcomed. Details of all the clubs may be found on the 'Groups' page.
Here are the most up-to-date NAFAS Vision and Mission statements along with the Values we all embody. For more information and a downloadable document to print out, click here or on the image.

NAFAS East of England Area leaflet
Many members who attended the Anniversary Show at Hunstanton may have seen a new Area leaflet that's been produced giving details of our Area with a list of all our Clubs within each of our five Groups.
The leaflet has been designed for the Area to share with potential members and members of the public to provide the information they might need to find one of our Clubs. It went down well with members of the public at the Show.
The leaflet comprises a summary of the Area, the Area's QR code to give easy access to the NAFAS-east website, the NAFAS vision, mission and values, what we do and some important contacts. The list of the Area's Clubs can be seen once the leaflet's opened up.
Copies of this leaflet will be available at the next Area Day on Saturday 13th July at Isleham and it's suggested that the five Group chairmen take a number of copies to share amongst their clubs. They can then share locally to help with their advertising.
If you want to see the leaflet in the meantime, a pdf copy is included in this section. You just need a little imagination that when its printed out and folded, it makes sense :-)
Congratulations
