We are delighted that the Dumfriesshire team of Abby Baxter, Sally Burn, Anne Roberts and Mima Telfer won the 2024 SWI national Variations on a Theme Competition on the 20th April. The theme of the competition was 'conflict' and the ladies did us proud with each of the members taking on this challenge and producing some moving pieces of writing.
