GUESTS assemble at the Clitheroe WI Show, above (A23070.5/3b), and right, Vicki Blackic who won the prize for “Best in Show” (A23070.5/3a)


By Vivien Meath


THE many visitors to this year’s Clitheroe and District Women’s Institute Show were amazed by the exceptionally high standard of goods exhibited. Every class was bursting with


entries, imagination and exquisite talent in one of the best shows ever. Opening the event, chairman Mrs


Pam Jelley told guests and visitors that she could not recall having seen a more colourful, varied exhibition in more than a quarter of a century. “Forget for a brief time about bombs and hatred, destructive natu­


ral disasters, man-made trouble and starvation - even failing cricket teams,” she added, praising the qual­ ity of the flowers and plants raised in gardens short of water, and the gas­ tronomic delights on display from members’ kitchens - even the 40-plus ginger cakes entered for that particu­ lar category! Visitors flooded into Clitheroe


Royal Grammar School’s Chatburn Road premises to take advantage of the popular WI Market and enjoy the demonstration of crafts, includ­ ing paper jewellery which many WI members were already wearing and which even under close scrutiny proved difficult to distinguish from


more expensive items. With a main hall packed full of


exhibits, incorporating almost every form of recognised craft, many of the items submitted for the show will have gone home to become family heirlooms. A porcelain pedlar doll, all com­


pletely handmade by Hurst Green WI member Vickie Blackie, was just one example. Awarded adult best in show, the doll had taken hundreds of hours, from its casting to the lovingly crafted items offered for sale on the pedlar’s tray. Tiny shoe horns, rolling pin, mouse

trap, cheese grater, feather duster, children’s top, handbags, skipping rope and cricket bat were among the dozen or so perfectly formed'from all manner of tiny objects. Competition was fierce in the chil­ dren’s section, with Michael Wall-


till ... kt-'W-


bank, of Gisburn, retaining the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times Cup for most points, and Claire Rowland­ son, Balderstone, awarded child best in show. Fence WI took the trophy for top


marks, with Great Harwood second and Hurst Green, third. Tapestries, quilting, novelty aprons


and greetings cards were just a few of the painstakingly crafted exhibits on display. Each had been closely scrutinised


by judges and their remarks left for the visitors and originators to ponder - some were welcome, others became the source of much heated debated during the day. Outside the school entrance, Grace


Astley, of Sabden, encouraged visi­ tors to think about recycling in the home, with leaflets about compost­ ing, offers of free bins and caddies.
