CAINSCROSS WI were lucky enough to win the Rose Bowl competition at the recent Stroud Country Show, which took place in Stratford Park.

The weather was awful, but it was all worthwhile braving the elements when we won the Rose Bowl competition for five very different handmade cushions in a variety of colours, shapes and designs.

Val Dalby staged the entry to her usual very high standard, and one of the cushions was made by a member in her eighties.

We also congratulate Brimscombe & Thrupp on coming second in this competition.

If you would like to visit, or perhaps become a member of Cainscross WI, you are very welcome to join us at our next meeting on Tuesday, August 5, to start at 7.15pm as usual, in St. Matthew's Church Hall, Cainscross.

Our Guest Speaker will be Mark Wilkins talking about 'Understanding Autism' and there is always a raffle, sales table and refreshments available.
