BCSBA Annual Competitions and Results 2024

Each year, at the annual conference and AGM, the BCSBA runs competitions for its members. There are five sections: National Fleece; Handcraft Fleece; Sheepskin; Photographs; and Handcraft . Within each section there are different categories/classes, chosen by the branch hosting the conference. The classes for the fleece and the sheepskin competitions don’t vary greatly from year to year, but the descriptions for the different classes in the photographic and handcraft sections are eagerly awaited for each by keen entrants. See also: previous post from 2020 with more information about the competitions.
