President - Dot Waters

Dot became a Vice President in 2005 and was elected as President at the Club’s A.G.M. on 6th November 2007.

She was one of the original seven founder members of Solent Fuchsia Club. Indeed, the Club has since progressed under her expertise and enthusiasm. Dot was also a regular member of the committee for a great number of years before finally retiring to start her life as Mrs Waters. She still dedicates a considerable amount of her time to the Club and has exhibited many incredible quality full baskets at our Annual Shows. Let's hope she manages to display one of her Show stopper baskets at this years event. But we believe her true forte, and she has huge amounts of knowledge in the fuchsia world, are the Species.
