Oswestry School – Rotary Young Writer of the Year winners

12 Jul 2017

Writing on the theme of ‘Reflection’ the winners in the Intermediate and Senior sections of the Rotary Young Writer competition were both from Oswestry School.

From approximately 400 entries 14 year old Rachel Roberts was judged winner in the Senior section and Noah Kynaston-Evans was the Intermediate section winner. Both entries were submitted to the Rotary Young Writer national competition where they were both judged to be Highly Commendable.

Along with her certificate, Rachel was presented with the John Cranwell Young Writer Award for the best local entry to the competition. The late Rotarian, John Cranwell PHF, was a founder member of Borderland Rotary and following his death in 2014 members of the Rotary decided to offer an Award that would recognise young people for their creative writing skills. This annual trophy is presented for the best submission to the local round of the Young Writer Competition.
