Clr. Melanie Phillips's idea for this fund-raising event - 'Munches and Bunches' - in aid of the RNLI was most welcome. Melanie has been raising money for the charity during her Mayoral year, hugely appreciated by Pembroke Guild members.

'Munches and Bunches' raised a further £200 for this vital free 24/7 coastal rescue service and seasonal lifeguard service.

Florist Adrian Cook, of Pembroke, chair of South Pembs. Floral Art Society, was guest, presenting his 'Munches and Bunches'.

Adrian came second in 2012 at the Annual Wales National Association of Floral Art Society's competition in Margam.

Adrian, who is well known locally, travels around England and Wales teaching floral art and giving demonstrations, flying the flag for Pembroke and Pembrokeshire.

Adrian's presentation on Friday last in aid of the RNLI kept everyone engrossed.

Adrian prepared a three-course summer menu. A first course of a melon basket fruit salad, then chicken Elizabeth, followed by a summer fruit meringue pyramid, his 'munches'.

After a short interval of tasting and enjoying coffee and Welsh cakes, Adrian enthused his audience with his precision and skill in creating three spectacular floral 'creations', his 'bunches'.

In gratitude, at the end of the evening, Clr. Melanie Phillips presented Adrian with a beaten stainless steel flower container.

Pembroke Guild wish to thank Adrian, the Mayor and everyone present on behalf of the RNLI for such a successful evening.
