Celebrating 60 years with
The Wonder of Words
In September 2024, we celebrated 60 years of our club!
Our celebratory flower festival, The Wonder of Words took viewers on a literary journey of floral displays, inspired by the creativity of the written word. Our members filled St Michael’s Church in Highworth with the beauty of flowers, depicting book titles and poetry. Please enjoy these images taken by members of the Highworth Camera Club.
