Looking back 'Lace Day 2022' was a very enjoyable occasion with a good selection of suppliers and a very interesting talk by Sandi Woods entitled 'The Chinese Whisper School of Design'.
The competition title for 2022 was 'Ruby'. Eve Morton won in the category 'Best Technical Entry' for her fascinator and Margaret Eaglestone in the category 'Entry you would most like to take home' for her Ruby Anniversary Roses. See under 'Home' page for photos of the Ruby Competition pieces.
Brian Kennedy received the cheque on behalf of our charity 'DorSAR'.
