Looking back 'Lace Day 2019' was a very enjoyable occasion with a good selection of suppliers and a very interesting historical talk by Carol McFadzean about 'Sidmouth Lace'.
The competition title for 2019 was 'Seaside/Coastal'. Jean Organ won in the category 'Best Technical Entry' and Pompi Parry in the category 'Entry you would most like to take home'.
Penny Stevenson received the cheque on behalf of our charity 'MyTime'.
