NEW NATIONAL AFAA MANUAL
After many years of research and compilation from representatives of all states around Australia, the new Australian Floral Art Association National Manual is now available.
With the release of this much awaited National Manual the West Australian Floral Art Society Handbook, Standards and Classifications and other documentation are now obsolete and all qualified Floral Art Judges and floral designers around Australia will be exhibiting and judging under the same national guidelines as documented in this Manual. This Society considers it extremely
important for all floral designers to be fully aware that new National standards
now apply. Judges trained under the
direction of the WA Floral Art Society and recognised by the Australian Floral
Art Association (AFAA) and the World Association of Flower Arrangers (WAFA), will now be
assessing designs under the guidelines documented in this national Manual and
while judges from this Society will continue to respect ‘local rules’ when
assessing at floral art competitions we believe that all clubs must should be
aware of our new Judging criteria.
The
price of the AFAA Manual is $30.00 and includes the following :
ORDERS FOR THESE MANUALS SHOULD BE DIRECTED THROUGH THE STATE CLUBS (in this state the WA Floral Art Society) and orders can be lodged by either contacting the Judges Committee Secretary, Dianne Buckles , Eileen Wenn the Chairperson of the WA Floral Art Society Inc ‘Judges Committee’ , or the Treasurer of this Society Val Roy. This
new manual has created a renewed interest in Floral Art and floral designers
are looking forward to a new and exciting era in Floral Art where the
instigation of this National Manual will see all Australian designers operating
under the same guidelines.
