Main Prize Winners


First - £100

“Blue Belle” by Helen Parker

Judges comment: This is well written and the characterization is excellent. I like the way, in the second half, you explained the points that had made the mother suspicious of the old man.

Second - £50

“My Pal Grandad” by Eileen Roberts

Judges comment: This is very topical with so many war anniversaries so might well sell to a magazine. It is well written with a good ending.
