Arran successes in Rotary Young Writer Competitions

Two young students at Arran High School have won prestigious honours in the Rotary District Young Writer Competitions. The competitions are run by Rotary and the District includes an area approximately taking in Oban, Glasgow and everything to the west of a line south to the Scottish border.

The theme of the article to be submitted was “Reflections” and Naomi Provan won the Intermediate Prize and Louise Shankland the Prize for Seniors.

Bill Roberts on behalf of the Rotary Club of Arran commented “This is a wonderful win for the students and our small club is delighted to help young people on the island in these Competitions. The two winners will now go forward to the Rotary National Finals in May and that competition covers the whole of the UK and the Irish Republic”.

The Isle of Arran Rotary Club would be delighted to receive new members for fellowship and for supporting often forgotten good causes especially on the Island. Why not give our secretary Linda MacCallum a ring on 01770-302875.
