AM reveals his Xmas card winner

The children of Montgomeryshire have been thanked by local Assembly Member, Russell George, for taking part in a competition to design his official Christmas card.

Mr George received hundreds of pictures from children all over Montgomeryshire who were keen to impress him with their artistic skills and creativity.

The AM established a judging panel to assist him in the very difficult selection process but an overall winner finally emerged in Sophie Pugh, from Llandinam School.

Congratulating Sophie, Mr George said: “I would like to thank Sophie Pugh for designing my Christmas card. This is the ninth year that I have run my Christmas card competition and the standard of entries was again very high indeed.

“The competition was open to all primary schools in Montgomeryshire, and this is the second time in recent years that a pupil from Llandinam has won.

“I would like to thank all the children who took part and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.”
