Along with the painting and drawing section they can also enter drafting drawings and wood and metal work articles. They also have the opportunity to show their inven- tiveness in a "snack using beans." Another area of growing participa- tion .is the "Golden Age" section where seniors over 60 can displax their talents and give inspiration to younger viewers to take up and main- tain an interest in some sort of hob- by. They exhibit the results of happy hours and are justifiably proud of their efforts. We enjoy the sparkle of pride in their eyes as they bring in their entries. Perhaps you too could join them in exhibiting in this relatively new area of the fair. No matter how bad the weather the Floral Displays are always excellent at Exeter Fair. The many categories allow for various talents from single bloom displays to theme oriented floral arrangements. We will again be displaying these in the foyer of the rec centre so be sure to take a few minutes to enjoy the unbeatable com- bination of nature and a little T.L.C.

A change in the structure of the Queen competition for sewing .and domestic has been implemented this ,,year. Six specific classes will be us- ed when calculating the exhibitors standing in the Handcraft classes, with seven classes being used for the Domestic classes.

Some bean cookery will be on display in the form of drop cookies us- ing soya flour, soya bean brittle, a bean cake with recipe as well as the old favourite baked beans.
