SWI MEMBERS HOST CREATIVE CRAFTS AT THIS YEAR'S ROYAL HIGHLAND SHOW
The SWI will be hosting the Handcrafts Pavilion at this year’s Royal Highland Show, with members showcasing their skills for thousands of visitor during the popular event at Ingliston Showground.
The Handcrafts Marquee is run by the SWI’s RHS committee, and members volunteer to share their skills as demonstrator. A large team of members also act as stewards to ensure everything goes to plan at the event. The team put a lot of time and effort into setting up, running and managing the marquee and many members also compete in the many competition classes.
Last year’s Overall Winner was Lou Washington of Coldstream SWI with a fabulous needlefelted woodland scene. See her tips for entering the show here
