We did even better at the Denbigh and Flint Show than realised. Here is Moira's fabulous portrait which was awarded a Third place. It was omitted in error from last night's round up. I'm sure we can all recognise the subject .

Dyserth did really well at today's Denbigh and Flint Show. Jacquie, Moira and Kath received the Rosebowl for their combined entry 'Picnic at Hanging Rock. Linda collected the trophy on Dyserth's behalf and then passed it on to the successful th*****me. We also gained two other firsts (Kath for her waistcoat and Jennie for her sweets).
We gained 4 second places (Corrina for her sweets, Janice for her cheese and tomato quiche and Jacquie for both her biscotti and her driftwood sculpture) and 4 third places (Corrina for her biscotti and her lace scarf, Jennie for her blackcurrant jelly and Sue for her cheese and tomato quiche).
Success continued with Highly Commended for Josie's blackcurrant jelly and Sue's watercolour.
Well done everyone, let's do even better next year!

Good afternoon members. We have secured a space on the High Street to promote our WI during the Classic Car Show. We have a table and plenty of promotional material to recruit new members but it would be great if someone could loan a parasol and base for the day to protect us from the sun (🤞). Please message if you have one to lend us for the day. Many thanks in advance. Sue

What a wonderful day out at Powys Castle and Gardens....even the husbands enjoyed it! It was interesting to go around the House with it's fascinating collections. We were blessed with dry, warm weather which made the wanderings around the Gardens particularly pleasant. Everyone was particularly enchanted by the baby peacocks (it was suggested that they might be called chickpeas!) and we even spotted some of the 'friendly tigers' hiding in the shrubbery!
