‘Finley was very excited and accepted his prize with great enthusiasm’
Each year Haydon Wick Parish Council run a Christmas Card Competition for young people who reside in the Parish. It is the perfect opportunity for primary school aged children to get creative by either designing their own festive scene or use a template and demonstrate their fantastic colouring skills.
This year’s winning design, named ‘Everything’ by Finley, was chosen by Councillors and Staff. His school and parents were informed and together they decided not to inform Finley until he was surprised in front of his friends and peers during his school assembly on Monday 12th December.
Finley was very excited and accepted his prize with great enthusiasm. Finley’s parents and school are all very proud his achievement and how artistic and creative he is. His prize was two packs of cards with his design on, personalised tea towel and stocking, as well as some new craft supplies to keep encouraging his artistic skills.
As in previous years the winning design will feature on the Christmas Card included in the Parish Council’s Christmas Parcel Scheme. For over 30 years the Council has been delivering parcels to elderly residents living alone in the Parish. Over 150 parcel recipients will be overjoyed to see Finlay’s special card design this year.
There will be more competitions and youth events during 2023. Please keep updated by visiting the Council’s website and social media (@Haydon Wick Council) https://haydonwick.gov.uk/.
