Taking on the UK

Further to our previous Blog "More Awards" in our archives in 2007, the result of winning the first in the Area finals is that Jackie and Diane now progress to the UK finals. They will represent the South West Links Designer Club at the UK finals in Edinburgh in October and compete against the other area winners of the first prize from all other UK clubs.

Their chosen design which will be approximately 7 Foot tall is well advanced but for obvious reasons cannot be disclosed here.

It was quite a feat to win the area finals and more so to be competing at the UK finals, So two weeks to go - wish them luck !!

I cannot believe that two geriatric women are attempting to take on the rest of GREAT BRITAIN in this competition in Edinburgh

SURPRISED

Dear SUPRISED. An explaination of Geriatric follows-: Dictionaries define 'geriatric' as 'pertaining to old people' and the World Health Organization (1963) has defined 'middle-age' as being 45-59 years, 'elderly' as being 60-74 years and the 'aged' as over 75 years of age. In human terms the elderly should be regarded by society as a useful resource because of their knowledge, skills and experience but the aged most often need assistance.

Please note the bit about "knowledge, skills and experience" - no assistance required for these two geriatrics thanks.
