Aoife’s Young Writer Award from Rotary
Thousands of children took part in the competition, which required entrants to write about something that has made a difference to their lives and submit their work to their local Rotary Club.
Aoife, now a student at Dalriada Grammar School, clearly impressed judges with the maturity and originality of her work. It was a very rewarding decision, not least by the fact that the triumph was attained in Ballycastle Rotary Club’s first attempt at the competition and indeed by their one and only entrant!
