It was the SWI Dumfriesshire Federation Show on 17/18th May.
So much talent was on show.

It was very successful for Canonbie SWI with Canonbie winning the Challenge cup in handcrafts for an institute over 20 members. A fabulous achievement with only 4 members submitting entries, Liz Walters, Gillian Lamont, Viv Blyth and Karen Pearson.

Our President Liz Walters won the May MacCrmick trophy for most points in the handcraft section.

The next show will be in another 2.5 years

Canonbie SWI meeting on 17th April was our Open Evening, with about 50 people attending from Longtown WI, Nicholforest WI, Newcastleton SWI, Ewes SWI, Westerkirk SWI, Rigg SWI, Waterbeck SWI and Creca SWI.
Our speaker for the evening was Fiona Armstrong who gave an informative and enjoyable talk on her duties of Lord Lieutenant of
Dumfries.
Lord Lieutenants were introduced by Henry VIII to organise an army that could be used during war. It was their duty to feed and cloth this army.
Nowadays the Lord Lieutenant’s duties are more ceremonial with close ties to the military, veterans, reservists and cadets. Other duties also includes representing the monarch at various local events.
It wasn’t until 1956 that the 1st woman Lord Lieutenant was appointed.
Thanks to Fiona was given by Nicola Donald.
The competition of the evening for Canonbie SWI members and visitors was a photo taken in Dumfries & Galloway.
Results were:
Canonbie SWI
1st Catherine Lithgow
2nd Elizabeth Walters
Visitors:
1st Roman Bowman (Nicholforest)
2nd LorraineMorton (Ewes)

She enjoyed making these at the SWI Summer School last year.

On Thursday 20th February Vice President Nicola Donald welcomed everyone to Canonbie SWI meeting. There was a good turn out including members from Westerkirk.

Susie Grant accompanied by Catherine Lithgow gave a confectionary demonstration. There were laughs when Catherine left to “wash” the chocolate bowls. We also found out that both Susie and Catherine have both been involved with Langholm Day Care for 14 years.

Chocolate Fudge, Bark and Italian Truffles were made. We all had an enjoyable time tasting these delicacies.
