President Mrs Sheila Bowles, who presented Miss Hudson, of Mitton Road, with the trophy, pointed out that she had notched up successes in a wide variety of competi tions, from flower arrang ing to making ginger bread, from the best piece of advice to making the most words from the name “Lancashire.” But Miss Hudson, the
only member who has entered every competition during the series, has
taken it all in her stride. “I ’ve been a member for 50 years and I ’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve won the cup," she declared. Mrs Doreen Balshaw
