12 May West Arts & Crafts – Ayr Show 2025
The sun was shining once again as our Westies headed through to Ayr Racecourse for their annual display of Arts & Crafts. This years theme was “Shop Window” for seniors and “A Day At The Beach” for juniors. With SP Energy Networks and Farmstrong joining us, the YF tent was bustling with excitement. Members also took part in Ayrshire Districts very successful open Tug Of War and Stock judging competitions.
