Our Federation Triennial Show will not take place this year.

The H&H committee have shared the following schedule so members can get busy on their entries. All decisions made were taken from the questionnaire results following the 2018 Show. Individual entries 30p and Community work entry £5. No request for contribution to catering costs will be requested from Institutes.

The schedule for this show is being republished here along with the knitting pattern and the following notes from Janet Iffla

....... where it says 3 unfilled Viennese fingers ignore the word unfilled, entry... 3 single viennese fingers with or without chocolate at ends.

where it says 1lb jar were are not being rigid in 1lb (454g) we are looking for jars around that size not huge coffee jar sizes and also we agreed a small jar of savoury jelly, but if you wish to make a large jar that is fine we will advise the judges to be flexible with that jar size.

 on the knitting pattern for the V neck cardigan there are two errors on the pattern.....

Right Front - change to no 10 needles etc.. ending with a purl row..... this infact should be a Knit row....

Sleeves - cast on using 10 needles, this should be 12 needles...….
