The weather was kind enough to allow competitors to travel safely from various parts of the province to compete.

Coreen Abernethy and Ivor Harper gave up their time and expertise to judge the competitors and their scores resulted in the placings detailed below.

Hopefully all the competitors are pleased with their performances, but especially Joanna McNamee, Caryn Walker, Louise Beggs, Ian McCluggage and Dale Roberts for earning red rosettes.
