Brentwood Chamber's Creative Writing Competition for Primary School Children in the Borough

As part of our ongoing commitment to the local community, Chamber organised a competition for younger school children to encourage their creative writing skills. All local Primary and Junior schools were invited to take part and attend a presentation ceremony on 1st March, kindly hosted by St Mary's School. The eventual winners were selected by a panel of judges, all of whom are very distinguished in the world of literature.

Prizes of fountain pens and watercolour crayons, generously donated by Chamber member Hussey & Greaves, were presented to the following:
