We hope you all enjoyed the ADF, and I’m sure you’ll agree that all the hard work was worth it!!

My thanks go to everyone who worked hard to put their entries into the craft show – what a display of talent we have on the island.  The exhibits from the school were great and made an exciting display of colour, some of the students were competing against adults in their chosen classes – and won!  A little competition is good fun. 

The entries were significantly lower than last year but perhaps that is because some of the families who took part were no longer on island.  I  want to make this more accessible to more people so if there is a class or category you’d like to see then please let me know.  It has been suggested we have more photography and less vegetables, a class for oil paintings (and entries please) and someone wanted more classes that took no effort (the cup or mug)?  It’s YOUR community craft show so while it’s fresh in your mind and  you have any ideas, reflections or suggestions please can you pass them on to the committee or to Alison Birkett.

Thanks to;

The commitment from the staff of TBS preparing and mounting all that work, enthusiastic kids, the Saints Club for use of the hall, setter up helpers, table movers, childminders,  the (tough) judges, stewards and watchers during the afternoon, the taking down helpers, and every exhibitor and person who had something positive to say.  Grateful thanks go to CSO for their generous sponsorship of prizes and Ms Matthews for sponsorship of handwriting prizes

Here are the results.
