00:00Hello, I'm Jacqueline Parker and I am Dasher Florals. I'm on the High Street in Wem and I have my own flower club, which is Dasher Flower Club, which has been going now for nearly three years. I have 26, 27 members and they are a lovely bunch, very talented ladies of all ages and they come from all over.
00:23And I believe you're all working together to hold in August? We are. There's six of us in total that are working for this show. So we all bring our own thing to it. We all have our own things to do, but we work as a team and it's going really, really well.
00:42And why did you decide to organise it?
00:45Well, we're going the Shoesby Flower Show and we were going again this year as a team and obviously with the sad news that it's not going to be, we were a bit gutted.
00:56So I went home and had a bit of a think and thought, obviously on a smaller scale, but could we do anything to get people together still, you know, remember the Shoesby Flower Show, but raise for charity and, you know, get the community together and beyond.
01:13Because obviously we've got people coming from far away as well to take part, people that were going to the show, that had spent money and we thought they could use the things they were doing.
01:25And that's what we've done. We've created titles and they are, hopefully it's going to be a brilliant day.
01:32It's not a competition, it's a showcase. We've got a children's section and they'll all be getting a prize, but yeah, it's just getting everybody together to keep Flower Shows going.
01:44And you're also raising money for charity?
01:46Charities are the Seven Hospices, the big charity we're raising for, but we're giving donations to WEM Town Hall, where it's going to be held.
01:54They're very kindly to give us the hall for that. WEM SEM Group, which is a local group, sensory group, and obviously Guide Dogs.
