A spokesperson for the group said: “Members voted by secret ballot for the entries using a plentiful supply of buttons, nothing goes to waste in a WI!

“The winner was a beautifully crafted clown by Carol Mayes, while the entry under the heading 'Spring' was won by Mareen Barker and was very delicate. The winner of the photo competition was Jacky Cadle with her close-up of a bee on a flower.”

The WI is the largest women’s organisation in the UK and offers ‘a trusted place for all women of all generations’ so they can share experiences and learn from each other. The Burgess Hill WI meets at Cyprus Hall in Cyprus Road.
