CHRISTMAS CARD COMPETITION The Mayor of Lancaster is asking primary school age pupils from across the district to design him a Christmas card. If adopted for the Mayor's Official Christmas Card, the successful design will be sent to a number of important people on behalf of Lancaster City Council, including Her Majesty the Queen. For those children wishing to enter the competition their design should: • Be on a piece of A4 paper of any colour • Use strong colours but avoid using glitter • Not have things stuck on to it – they don’t copy well • Include their name, age, address and telephone number on the back. “I am looking forward to seeing some exciting and creative designs produced by the children of our district in response to my Christmas card competition,” commented the Mayor. “and I hope the competition will attract lots of entries.” Designs should be sent to the Mayor’s Office, Town Hall, Lancaster, LA1 1PJ. The closing date is Friday 24th November. The winner will be welcomed to Lancaster Town Hall to meet the Mayor with nine of their friends and family where they will enjoy a tour of the Town Hall and be presented with a framed copy of their design.
