snap up top prizes


YOUNG photographers from the Ribble Valley scooped the majority of prizes in a district wide com­ petition staged by the Rot^Club . Five out of the nine dis­


trict prizes in the Rotary Club’s, Lancashire and Cum­ bria District Final were “snapped up” by local chil­ dren, much to the delight of the Rotary Club of Ciitheroe. The local club had first


staged a Ciitheroe Rotary Club Young Photographer competition, for which they had a record number of entries with 110 children tak­ ing part from three primary and four senior schools. The youngsters had to take photographs following


the brief of “Trees and Wild Flowers”. A panel of judges, includ­


ing editor of the Ciitheroe Advertiser and Times, Roy Prenton, then assessed the photographs, choosing win­ ners and runners-up in each age group. The results were as follows: Age group seven to 10: 1,


Holly Clayton (Brookside Primary School, Ciitheroe); 2, Matthew Anderton (Whalley Primary School); 3, Charlie Dummer (Pendle Primary School). Eleven to 13 years: 1,


Sarah Bryan (Oakhill Col­ lege, Whalley); 2, Imogen Sharpe (Ciitheroe Royal Grammar School); 3, Kirby Robinson (Ribblesdale High School, Ciitheroe).


Fourteen to 17 years: 1,


Yasmin Byrne (Ciitheroe Royal Grammar School); 2, Joe Wright (Oakhill College, Whalley); 3, Mary Peel (St Augustine’s RC High School, Billington). All the 110 contestants


were presented with a certifi­ cate of participation, while the winners received cash vouchers supplied by spon­ sors, UK Digital, of Ciitheroe. A total of 27 entries then


went through to the district final, with Oakhill College’s Sarah Bryan walking away with both first and second prizes with her stunning pho­ tographs in the eleven to 13 years age group. Holly Clayton took first place, and Toby Pennock (SS
