Members and guests of the Wilmslow Guild Flower Club enjoyed a lunch with a touch of sparkle at the Deanwater Hotel, Stockport.

Held in the Balmoral Suite, the event was attended by 70 ladies, including Shirley Robinson and Val Seed, President and Chairman of the Cheshire Area of NAFAS respectively, and raised over £200 for The Christie in Manchester. Staff from Boodles Manchester also attended the red carpet event and brought along sparkling gems for guests to admire and try on for size.

Val Seed said: ‘We had a truly dazzling afternoon sharing our love of flowers and jewels. It was an afternoon of laughter and friendship.’ w
