As many of you know I am very supportive of the arts so I was delighted to be asked to present the prizes for the first Reading Schools Art Competition this afternoon. It was organised by the Bengali Cultural Society as part of Sharad Ustav, a four day event celebrating harvest festival.
The society was looking to involve the wider community in their celebrations so the Reading Schools Art Competition was devised.
After witnessing some wonderful singing and dancing I presented the following prizes:
 |
| Commendation: Autum Butterfly (bottom piece) by Sonia Siddique, Reading College |
 |
| 3rd: Layered Culture by Saffia Amin, Highdown |
 |
| 2nd: Calcium Tubastraca Angeola Gao, Leighton Park |
 |
| 1st: Upcycle Dress with Free Stitching Maisy Inston, Bulmershe |
The prizes were decided by Suzanne Stallard, Jenny Halstead, Ingrid Jensen and Prabhat Basu who are well know in Reading. It must have been a hard task as the entries were of a very high standard.
Well done to everyone who oragnised this event.

| So much fun and dancing! |
