As my children grow to young adults now  they have taken an interest in entering a few themselves its great to see them win and how happy it makes them . 😀

    That's fantastic! Well done to your daughter! I've recently got my Mum into comping and she's addicted now haha, she's had a few wins too in the last few months. It feels nice to share this hobby with family! ☺️ Hope you all continue to have lots of luck!
