ROTARY WRITING AND PHOTO
Fraser Sneddon
Iain Ferguson The Rotary Club of Lochaber has encouraged and rewarded young writing and photographic talent in recent competitions, the winners which will now go on to the district and perhaps national heats. Open to pupils from seven years old upwards, winner of the writing competition was Sine Grant from Invergarry, a pupil of Lochaber High School, with her essay ‘The Year 2981, This Will Be My Final Entry’. Fellow Lochaber High School pupil Fraser Sneddon from Ardgour took top place in the Photographic Junior Section with his sunset, with Lexi Duncanof Ardnamurchan High School, junior runner-up with her picture of a sheep eating from a trough. Senior winner and runnerup were also from Ardnamurchan High School – Ellis John MacConnachie, capturing a low level shot of a walker on a country path took first place, while runner-up Cheryl MacIntyre caught a pet cat in full yawn. Rotary President, Simon Hardiman, said: “We

always find it so encouraging to see talented young folk coming forward, particularly on this year’s theme of the Environment. We wish Sìne, Fraser and Ellis John well in the next heats and for the future.”
