Writing Competition
As part of the Festival, a Writing Competition was organised and submissions invited from adults and school children in the following categories. There was an excellent response and the winners' pieces are linked below. The winning pieces in all categories apart from Drama were read out loud at the closing ceremony by John Waite and Robert Lindsay (for whose support the Festival Committee is very grateful). The Writing Competition was a great success and we hope to repeat it at future Festivals.
