We had a prize giving event for winners of the Summer Photography Competition, on Thursday 16^th September. Winners were awarded their prizes by local business owners and judges of the competition.

First prize for under 18s was Henry Brown, who received £60 from Mark Clive of local electrical company Bright Sparks. Second prize went to Siân Campion, winning a hose donated by Travis Perkins. Highly commended winners were Louise Smith, who received a £10 voucher from Jonathan Gross from Dyfi Wholefoods, and Pat Leppard, who received a £10 voucher from Mair Tomos of Blodyn Tatws.
