Jubilee cards for The Queen

Date published: 26 June 2012


The Rotary Club of Middleton announced that Aaron Service was the winner of their design a card competition. The cards were designed to send to The Queen, to mark her Diamond Jubilee. The Rotary Club competition was organised in partnership with Sainsbury’s at Heaton Park.

Three highly commended entries also received an award; they were Emilie Young, Jake Holmes and Ellyss Nicholson.

Janice Powell of The Rotary Club of Middleton said: “There weren’t as many entries as we had hoped for, but they were all great. All of the entries came from year six at Bowlee School. We have sent each entry to The Palace.”

Ms Powell added: “The aim was to try and get Middleton children engaged in the Royal Jubilee celebrations and we thought that designing a card would give them all an opportunity to show off their artistic talents. It also produced something which was then sent on to the Queen herself, which will hopefully give the children who take part a sense of achievement.”
