This photograph was taken in 1966. It was published in the local newspaper and shows Winnie hanging some of her own paintings of the TWW presenters. The  presenters were Maureen Staffer, Christine Goodwin, Alan Taylor, Bruce Lewis, Peter Lewis, Sally Alford, Guy Thomas and Bruce Hockin. She organised the exhibition for her art work and other peoples - in all over 100 exhibits were on show for a week in Glastonbury.  She then took the paintings of the TWW presenters to the TV studios in Bristol, where she presented each presenter with their painting.
