There was lots going on in the WI Marque. Many members, family and visitors enjoyed the array of displays and exhibits. The standard was incredibly high, however, it was lovely to see so many members and WIs giving it a go for the first time.
Our WI Marquee would not be as perfect without the help of so many members. Here are just a few of them helping out on the two days but lots more helped with the set up, bringing exhibits in and being part of the Cheshire Show Committee over the year of preparation.

And what was going on outside the WI Marque – Lots ………
