CWA winners

MARILYN Mackie of Meeniyan CWA won the individual aggregate at the Gippsland Hills Group 59th exhibition of handicrafts, art and home industries.

Maryke Dann of Bena came second and Patricia Griggs of Inverloch CWA third.

Their work, together with that of many others, was on display in the Inverloch Community Hub last Friday and Saturday.

There were more than 900 entries from 10 branches, including from Marilyn’s granddaughter Jasmin Mackie. The 11 year old learnt her trade well from her grandmother because she won first prize in the open section for her pikelets, raspberry jam, slice and arrangement, a first in the junior section for her bracelet and second in the junior sponge.

Jasmin is in Grade 6 at Tarwin Valley Primary School, the fourth generation of her family to go there.

She was one of the youngest entrants, while the eldest was CWA doyenne Elinor Scott, who won a prize for her flowering plant. She’s been a member of Meeniyan CWA since 1946 and is now 99.

Meeniyan won the branch exhibit for five handicrafts, with Inverloch second and Woorayl third. Bena won the branch exhibit for five home industries items, with Mirboo second and Woorayl third, while Leongatha won the branch exhibit for three stems of flowers or foliage, followed by Woorayl and Korumburra.

Inverloch came first for presentation, with Meeniyan winning the branch aggregate ahead of Woorayl and Kardella.
