Clarice
Cliff Collectors Club Garden Party 2004
 |
Sunday August 1st 2004 has
been set for the Clarice Cliff Collectors Club & Chetwynd House Garden
party. Lucky members who attended our 20th Anniversary event there still
fondly recall it. It is a chance to see Chetwynd House with Professor Flavia
Swann as your host and guide. Also guests will be served a delicious home-made
buffet & fine wines. You can dress in '30's style' and enjoy an afternoon
in Clarice & Colley's garden, which should be a blaze of colour in
August.
Local musician Eric Clements will
play 'Jazz Age' tunes. Guests will be able to meet some of Clarice's Bizarre
'girls' including Edna Cheetham who has rarely been able to get to our
events as she lives in Cornwall. Professor Swann will also be offering
plants for sale from Clarice's garden.
It is the Clarice Cliff Collectors
Club main event for 2004, and as numbers are limited we only offer it to
club members with a random draw if oversubscribed.

Special
Guest at CCCC Garden Party
|
| We are delighted to
announce that Edna Cheetham, a Clarice Cliff Bizarre girl from 1934 to
1939 has accepted an invitation to join guests at the CCCC Clarice Cliff
Garden Party on 1st August 2004
The party (for members & guests
only) is at Chetwynd House, courtesy of Professor Flavia Swann.
Designed by Parker & Unwin and
built in 1899 the house is a remarkable Arts & Crafts building and
as Clarice lived there from 1940 until her death in 1972 and it is an important
part of the story of Bizarre
Edna Cheetham was a hand-paintress
in the Bizarre shop, and also went on demonstrations in stores in the 1930's
where she worked alongside Peggy Davies, who later became a famous modeller
for Doulton.
Edna has only attended a few CCCC
events as she lives in Cornwall, but is delighted to be joining us and
looks forward to meeting members. |
