RAF pilot flies high in art competition

First prizewinning entry by Emily Monsen of Cosheston VC School.

Striking images on a 1940s theme were on display when cash prizes were presented by Pembroke Dock’s Mayor, Councillor Andrew McNaughton, to the winners of a schools art competition.

 

Pupils from three junior schools received prize money donated by Pembroke Dock Town Council in a competition organised by the Sunderland Trust as part of the Forties Events staged in September. The presentations were made in the Council Chamber at the Pater Hall.

 

Addressing the children, parents and friends, the Mayor said that judging the competition had been a very enjoyable task for himself and the Chairman of the County Council, Councillor David Pugh. Both had been very impressed by the excellent standard of the entries and by the individual work and research that had gone into them.

 

Cosheston VC pupil Emily Monsen’s entry featuring an RAF pilot was judged the first prize with two entries from Neyland Community School pupils - Emily Fagan and Joseph Campodonic - coming second and third.

 

The judges were so impressed by the entries submitted by Monkton Priory CP School that they awarded a special class prize to the school.
