The winner of a competition to design a flag to be flown outside the Town Council offices during Ilminster Midsummer Experience has been announced as Chloe Matravers of Greenfylde First School.
The competition was run by the Town Council following discussions with representatives of Wadham, Swanmead and Greenfylde schools and organised in conjunction with the schools. Over 200 children took part in the competition to design a flag to represent the Town Council or it’s activities and the Councillor judging panel were looking for designs that looked good when viewed from either side.
Presenting Chloe with her prize gift token at the school assembley, the Mayor, Councillor Rose Neave said
” When the judging panel showed me the winning design I thought Wow!
Chloe’s design is bold and bright with a skater silhouette that should easily be visible when it is hanging outside the Town Council office. I’m really looking forward to seeing the flag in June”
