Winning Design for Dollin's Christmas Card

Winning Design for Whitchurch Primary School's Christmas Card

Two children from Whitchurch Primary School have won the Christmas Card design competition put on by John Dollin Printing Services Ltd.

Alice Gibb’s design will be on the Christmas Cards given out by John Dollin; and Tolii Reeves-Hall’s design will be on the school’s card.

The children were invited to John Dollin last Wednesday to watch their drawing being made into the cards. The general manager, John Young, showed the enthusiastic youngsters around the shop floor where they saw many kinds of posters, brochures and cards being made.

Congratulations to these young artistic winners!

Update: an article about the winners appeared in the local newspaper! See below…

Thursday 4th, Friday 5th, Saturday 6th at 7pm

Matinee, Saturday 6th at 3pm

Rehearsals for the Whitchurch Amateur Dramatic Society’s pantomime are going well despite an initially fluctuating cast. The dwarves in particular were yo-yo-ing in size like guests on Oprah. It has been splendid to include some of our younger members and some newcomers and we always look forward to welcoming more of these. So come along and see Snow White cope with her embarrassing mother, avaricious sister, and friends of modest environmental impact.

Will the Snow Queen get her man, or will he be indoors doing his nails? Will Prod the goblin turn back into a man before your very eyes? Oh yes they will! Oh no they won’t!

The Box Office will be open at the Town Hall in Whitchurch on Saturday 22 and 29 November between 9.30 and 11.30. Snow White will also be an occasional visitor selling tickets during that time, between the Town Hall and the Library. Or you can pre-order your tickets by telephone from Claire on 01256 892 514
