Now into its fifth year, the rotary club’s competition, to encourage and help children with their handwriting, invited Year 4 pupils from the town’s ten primary schools to write out a poem.

270 entries were received with the best ones from each school receiving a certificate and a voucher from the competition’s sponsor, Copy Concept of Cleckheaton.

An overall winner was then decided, with Edie Maguire from Howard Park Community School claiming the top prize of a certificate, a voucher and an engraved trophy.
