Hi Rach,

Thanks for the advice. I have subscribed to Florist wholesale buyer. I’ve also visited the society of floristry site, however to subscribe as a student member I need my tutor’s email address, so I will need to wait on that one!

Hi Newbee,
Which college are you attached to or who is your tudor? Most of the tudors are SOF members am surprised tudor hasn't provided students with membership forms mine did and I know she still does to this day. Rach

Hi,

I'm with City college Manchester, however the course has only just started which might be why she hasn't given us any forms yet. I get the impression she is quite new to teaching. I will ask her about it next week. :-)

Good Luck and work hard. Rach
