April Events

The Young Writer Competition saw
nineteen pupils from P5 taking part this year. Their challenge was to write approx 500 words on the topic of “A different perspective”. The essays were of a very high quality throughout. The judges, from Dunbar Writers Group, chose an entry by Kyle McPherson entitled “A different match” as the
winner. Certificates and gifts were awarded to
all 19 pupils on 20 April at the Dunbar Primary School assembly. The picture shows all 19 Young Writers, together with their teacher Suzanne Crosby and judge Francis Smith. President Andrew Brown presented the awards.
Kyle's entry has also won the District Young Writer competition and he will now be
entered for the National Round.
On Monday 23rd April, President Andrew presented the club's Community Salver to Alasdair and Pippa Swan for their services to the community of Dunbar.
