In the village newsletter for March 2008, Sulgrave with Culworth W.I. Secretary Ann Mackness wrote:
"The County hold an annual Challenge Trophy Competition. This year the Challenge is to
design the garden for our new County headquarters, an eco friendly bungalow at
Moulton; and four of our members: Jean Bates, Pauline Flynn, Julie Metcalfe and Eileen
Roberts have volunteered to work from a blank canvas. So 'watch this garden'."
In the September edition of the newsletter Ann was able to report:
"Four of our members, Jean Bates, Pauline Flynn, Julie Metcalfe and Eileen Roberts...proved themselves a winning team - first place in the Northamptonshire Federation! They worked as a team from a blank canvas to design the layout, the planting scheme and costing. We are all elated at their success and the Challenge Trophy will be presented to them at the annual Council Meeting in October."
