.
|
Local school children met with UTV Sports presenter, Adrian Logan,
recently when he travelled to Omagh to present awards to prizewinners in
a competition. The art competition for primary schools and a poetry/short
story competition were organised by the Sperrin Lakeland Trust’s Centenary
Committee as part of a one-year programme of events to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the Tyrone County Hospital.
The theme for both competitions was 'Health Care Through the Ages'.
Organisers were delighted and overwhelmed by the large number of entries
received, particularly from local primary school children in both Omagh
and Strabane. Ken Gray, local interior designer, and Janet Hall, of the
Centenary Committee, judged the entries. and were impressed with the quality
of the work presented.
Winners were presented with prizes ranging from £10 to £50
whilst runners up received a dictionary for their school. Certificates
were awarded to all entrants. Bernie McCrory, of the Committee said “we
were delighted with the interest shown by local school children in his
competition, and are very grateful to Adrian Logan who has given us his
time in a very busy schedule and presented the winners with their prizes.
