Colourful display at Mangawhai

The sight and scent of hundreds of beautiful blooms filled the Mangawhai Library Hall when the 65th annual Women’s Institute (WI) Floral and Craft Show was held on Friday, November 10.

The quality of the entries in the flower, plant, produce, floral art, cooking, craft, art, photography and children’s sections was high throughout, and organisers were delighted with the number and standard of exhibits. Mangawhai WI president Marie Fitt said members and sponsors had pulled together to produce “yet another amazing show”.

The winner of the top prize, the Ray White Mangawhai Trophy for most points overall, was Rosemary Browne, who was presented with a decorative ceramic bowl from the Pipi Gallery in Molesworth Drive.
This year’s show featured new look posters and promotional material commissioned by Ray White Mangawhai and was designed to give the group an image boost and attract new members.

Top prize winner, Rosemary Browne.
