Art Competition 2017


The Society recently held an Autumn Art Competition.  Year 6 pupils from the local Primary Schools were invited to submit a painting/drawing depicting Clydach past or present through their eyes.  The winning entry would be used as the cover for a forthcoming publication.

The winning entry was from Isabelle Lewis of Clydach Primary and the runner up Emily Hines of St Joseph’s Primary.
