Group Competition 2024

Each year the Group chooses a competition subject, with the choice usually made at the AGM. The entries were judged by public vote at the Eccleshall Community Showcase in June.

The 2024 subject was "Jewellery" - though related items such as keyrings and handbag charms were permissable.

These are the entries ... which one do you think won (answer at the bottom of the page)?
