Baker Cup Competition

The Baker Cup Competition, organised by the Environment & Public Affairs Sub-committee, takes place every two years and is open to all WIs in Cornwall.

The Baker Cup subject for 2024 is Women, Cornwall and the Sea.

Living in this beautiful county as we do we can not escape the impact the sea has had on life here past and present. As the evenings draw in for autumn and winter, pondering and researching this subject will surely yield rich rewards to enjoy and document.
