Tewin Village

Our Spring Show was held on Saturday 9 April, after a three-year gap. The display of show exhibits was delightful and clearly demonstrated the skill and enthusiasm of the exhibitors and their wide range of interests.  We hope that you came along to see it all and to enjoy the refreshments on offer.

The Main Hall housed the exhibits of flower arranging, horticulture and culinary, together with a selection of arts & craft exhibits. The Parish Room housed the photography, painting, calligraphy and prose exhibits, with more children’s art exhibits shown in the corridor.

In the Flower Arranging class, there was a tie for first place between Mavis Haggar and Susan Whitbourn. The other class winners were Marie St Pier for Horticulture, Terry Brand for Arts & Crafts, Janet Gordon for Photography and Linda Gilley for Culinary. The Tewin Cowper School Award goes to the child with the highest number of points in the children’s classes for horticulture, arts & crafts and culinary. Erin Murray won convincingly by being first in her age group in all three of these classes (just as her sister Lauren did in the last Spring Show in 2019). The success of these two sisters extended to the photography, where Erin and Lauren Murray were joint winners of the Les Borg Cup for Children’s Photography.

Here are some photographs of the show:
