Judges, Demonstrators, Education and Speakers

The JDE&S Committee was set up to deal with all matters relating to Judges, Demonstrators, Education and Speakers. The committee consists of a representative and deputy for each discipline and meetings are held on a quarterly basis.

We organise training and testing and each representative attends their appropriate NAFAS meeting held at Osborne House, London, the Association Headquarters

Presentations are given to flower clubs by Demonstrators and Speakers whilst in Education, teachers will do workshops and take classes. This is an important part of our Association since this is where we attach our charity status. Judges may be asked to judge horticultural, Area or even National shows.

Teachers Association November 2009 meeting was held in Edinburgh where Mrs Valerie Davidson, NAFAS Director, entertained a big audience with a
Christmas demonstration entitled " The Holly and The Ivy".


Valerie's morning session focused upon techniques and the inspiring, more contemporary element of that presentation, was greatly appreciated by an attentive gathering.

Teachers Association April 09 meeting was held in Glasgow where
Neil Whittaker, Manchester, a florist of international renown presented a
contemporary demonstration entitled " Natures Own"

Teachers' Association November meeting was held in Edinburgh where Mrs Lilias Hoskins, National Demonstrator, gave an excellent Christmas demonstration to a well attended gathering.
This followed a very entertaining morning session when Lilias willingly shared her undoubted skills and presented the members with some wonderful Christmas ideas.
