Hunslet RLFC-sponsored Handwriting Competition , now in its second year, had a bumper number of entries on display at The Great Middleton Park Show this September.
This year 6 local primary schools entered their Year 4 pupils – 251 of them, aged 8 to 9yrs – into the challenge to write out a poem on the theme of Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. Thank you to all who entered.
Each class which entered had a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize and all who entered received a special voucher to attend a Hunslet RLFC match free of charge, along with reduced admission for an adult.
Every 1st prize winner was also entered to be judged which was the very best out of all entries. This year this was such a tight contest that Hunslet RLFC kindly agreed to sponsor TWO overall winners who each received an exclusive Hunslet shirt.
The prizes were presented at the show by Hunslet RLFC fans’ favourite , Jimmy Watson, and congratulated by the Lord Mayor, Councillor Cohen.
The 2 winners, Lexi and Chimnoya, will also receive a season ticket for next year.
Watch out for next year’s Handwriting Competition coming to the year 4 pupils in the local primary schools.
