Third Time Winners

Last night, at the Group meeting the HTWI once again won the overall prize, beating off strong competition.  The scarf made by Doreen Rogers, the muffins made by Janet Williams and the floral display by Pam Webb were awarded the highest marks by the judges.

President Maureen was presented with the rose bowl which HTWI will keep for another year

It was a most enjoyable evening with many HTWI members attending.  The talk was by Elizabeth Cook who is one of only three Court artists in the UK who produce the drawings of what is taking place in the court.  You will have seen her drawings in the press and on TV as they capture the accused and any dramatic moments.  Elizabeth is seen below showing us a drawing of Ian Brady.  It was a fascinating talk which held us all enthralled at her talent and at the horrific trials she has attended.

However, the winning streak for HTWI did not stop there - Joan McClelland won the draw for a bursary to attend a course at Denman College and many HTWI members won raffle prizes.  It was a bit of a clean sweep and we all left exhilarated at a most successful evening.

Some of our raffle prize winners!

For those who missed the Group Evening the HTWI Secretary's Report is reproduced on a separate page of this blog.  See you on 8th October for our Harvest Supper!
