Residents will be aware that my office has a tradition of holding a Christmas card competition for infant, primary and junior schools across Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner. I am always thrilled to receive so many brilliant and creative entries, which makes my job of choosing one winner very difficult. Last year, Maya from Reddiford School in Pinner designed the winning entry for the 'All I Want for Christmas' theme, which was printed and sent to local stakeholders to wish them a Merry Christmas from their Member of Parliament.
I am delighted to invite pupils to take part in this year’s competition, either at school or at home. The theme this year is ‘A Flag for Christmas’, where children are encouraged to think about and design what they would put on a Christmas-themed flag. All entries should be sent to my constituency office at 10 Village Way, Pinner, HA5 5AF with the child’s full name, age and school on the back of the design by Friday 7 November.
I look forward to seeing what creativity this year's theme brings.
