PEEBLESSHIRE Federation of the Scottish Women’s Rural held their Annual Bulb and Craft Show within the Community Centre, Walkershaugh, Peebles. The committee changed the layout of the hall this year and this was met with favourable comments.

All 12 intitutes entered the Community Effort which was 'Through the Garden Gate’ with Whitebridge SWRI the winners, Dolphinton SWRI were second and Manor SWRI third.

The prizes were presented on Saturday, March 14, by Avril Murray from Bonnie Peebles.

Federation Secretary Lorna Evans said: “We would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Bulb and Craft show a great success - including Peeblesshire Young Farmers for delivering and uplifting the tables and boards; George Napier for setting up the stands that hold the bulbs; and Eric Gilmour and Ralph Cameron for judging the bulbs and the ladies from Lanarkshire Federation for judging the 12 Community Efforts and the Floral Art.    “Without the hard work from the committee and institute members there would be no show – so well done to all for their hard work and support.”
