Celebrity chefs will be cooking and corporate CEO’s will be serving a meal to almost 1500 people and will be held at The Royal Hall of Industries at Moore Park.
Ronni has approached us ( through Joe Nati) to help out by way of supplying floral table arrangements, about 168 in total plus decorating the stage at Moore Park.
Their colour theme is predominantly yellow.
The committee of the Flower Growers Group will be asking Growers on Friday and Saturday (22nd & 23rd) to donate flowers but we need Florists/Students to come to the Flower Market on Saturday morning to make up arrangements in the middle of the market. These will then be delivered over the weekend.
