Members had a superb afternoon at the Hearts Football Club's Conference Centre in Edinburgh to celebrate the SAFAS Blue Sapphire 65th Anniversary.
We were joined by Katherine Kear the NAFAS National Chairman and Lilias Hoskins, NAFAS President Elect. Following an excellent meal Alan Beatty from Norther Ireland gave his demonstration - Hurrah, Let's Celebrate. Alan's flowers were beautiful and we were well entertained.
