At the start of Advent, the Wells Cathedral Choristers were invited to submit a painting about ‘The Real Meaning of Christmas’ for a competition sponsored by the Trust. The competition was judged by Annie Maw, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Somerset (pictured below). Annie was delighted to do this, not only because she has such a keen interest in the Choristers’ lives, but also art. There were two winners and three runners up, and the book-token prizes were presented by Director of Music, Jeremy Cole (all pictured above).
HM Lord-Lieutenant, Annie Maw judged the competition, and is pictured here holding the winning entries with the Cathedral Administrator, Jackie Croft (top left); Chairman of the Chorister Trust, Arnold Wills (top right); and Chorister Coordinator, Di Armstrong (bottom right).
