Colchester Group's main objective is to help and support our Clubs and members by passing on information from NAFAS, which is passed to the East of England Area and then on to Groups.  The East of England Council meetings are held by either Zoom or @ Mildenhall.  Area meetings are also held @ Mildenhall.  Group meetings are for members of all Clubs to get together and socialise, whilst being apprised of all filtered down information. 

At present we charge £5 for meetings and this includes a demonstration by either a visiting demonstrator or someone from the Group who is a demonstrator and also seasonal refreshments.  There are usually a selection of stalls like Raffle, unwanted flower related goods, books, Flower Arranger Magazine and occasionally a plant stall.

There are 19 Clubs in our Group with just under 800 members.  The numbers of members in each Club can vary quite a lot.  Some Clubs are much bigger than others.
