Having been Show secretary at Elstead Gardening Club for eight years, Di thought that it might be fun to be on the other side of the table and be a judge. Little did she know then that it would take her two and a half years to complete the WI courses needed.

She passed her baking skills certificate in 2015, gaining distinction in Cakes and Biscuits, Pastry making, Bread making and Special studies, and went on to pass a course in Cookery Judging run by The Surrey Federation of WI’s (SFWI). She has been judging around the County since, visiting many Garden Clubs and Societies.

Diana joined the committee at the 2017 AGM back in March.
