These are from my phone so not the best, Anne and Sara who started the event 10 years back saying a few words.
There is an Award, The Ashworth/Burns trophy for the person who has helped the most at the event,
Doctor Bob was the recipient this year for all his help and hard work with the room decor.

The last of the pictures from my camera, I filled my memory card up...
shock horror but took a few more on my phone so will see if I can sort those out.

behind after the workshops to help clean the rooms up for the next workshop.
