* Susan Elan Jones MP with Mazie Pemberton, holding her
winning card design, and Ken Skates AM.
A six-year-old schoolgirl has been chosen as the winner of a
competition to design this year's Christmas card for the area's AM and MP.
Mazie Pemberton’s entry featuring a colourful tree was
Ken Skates and Susan Elan Jones’s favourite out of hundreds submitted.
Her
design has been made into the Labour pair’s official Clwyd South Christmas card
and will be sent to hundreds of homes, businesses and organisations across the
constituency.
Mazie, who is in Year 2 at Rhosymedre Community Primary
School, was presented with her framed original, a winner’s certificate and
prizes by the politicians on Friday morning.
Susan said: “We would like to thank all the children who
took part, as well as their teachers. There were so many wonderful entries it
was incredibly difficult to make a decision, so we have included the runners-up
designs inside the card as well. The finished article looks fantastic, we’re
delighted with it.”
Ken added: “It was brilliant to meet Mazie and present
her with her prizes. We could’ve chosen any number of entries because there
were so many excellent ones, but Mazie is a deserved winner. I’d like to wish
all the children and staff a merry Christmas and a very happy new year. I hope
they all enjoy their well-earned break.”
The runners-up were eight-year-old Evie Davies and
six-year-old Isobel Paddock, both from Ysgol Acrefair, who will also receive
certificates.
