The Rugby World Cup kicks off this September and to celebrate the Welsh Rugby Union has got together with libraries, archives and museums across Wales to organise a children’s writing competition.
Tenby Library recently held a launch event for this exciting competition and invited the children of St Teilo’s primary school to attend.
On hand to inspire the youngsters were Dan Anthony, author of The Rugby Zombies trilogy and Wyndham Williams of Sport Pembrokeshire (Pembrokeshire County Council’s sports development service), who is also a Tenby United Rugby player.
Dan fired up pupils’ imaginations with a writing workshop while Wyndham shared some of his first hand experience of the game, while also promoting fitness with a mini-rugby training session.
If you are between seven and 16, or know someone who is, it’s not too late to enter the competition.
It’s free to enter and there are some great prizes to be won including Welsh rugby shirts and Millennium stadium tours.
The closing date for entries is July 20th, all the details can be found on the website www.rugbystorieswales or for further details call Tenby Library on 01437 775151
