Aims of JDS&E Committee

The Judges, Demonstrators, Speakers and Education Committee (JDS&E) is a working sub-committee of Surrey Area, and its purpose is to ensure that there are sufficient numbers of highly trained judges, demonstrators and speakers to fulfil the requirements of the NAFAS flower clubs in Surrey.

The committee fulfils its role by encouraging, and then training and testing proven flower arrangers to become demonstrators – who over time are able to move up from category ‘c’ to ‘A’. Experienced flower arrangers who are successful exhibitors are encouraged to take training and rigorous testing to become judges.

Members of flower clubs who wish to become speakers – who add a different dimension of interest to club meetings – are trained and their talks are appraised.

The Committee produces a list of judges, demonstrators and speakers for clubs benefit.

The Committee takes its education role seriously and holds a variety of workshops and certificated courses for members.
