Judges
Depending upon the number of entries, a sub-team from the Fulshaw WI may be needed to categorise the entries and critique them in advance of Lou judging the final winner.
If some of the entries (eg. garden design or room design) may be too large to be encompassed in one photo, the sub-team may be needed to visit the site to see the piece in one place and take additional photos.
