The Annual Sloe Gin Competition (the oldest one in Britain) judging took place on 23rd February into the early hours of Friday morning, and the party and prizes ceremony took place on Saturday 25th February.
After much consideration and extensive tastings, some of the usual people won prizes (Stella Russell carried off 3) but it was good to see new names in the winners list.
| First | Second | Third | |
