Youngster wins St Matthew's logo contest

Posted by Chris Longhurst on Feb 24, 09 01:36 PM in Faith

A YOUNGSTER who won a design contest at her church has been celebrating after winning circus lessons for her school.

Ashleigh Tomlin, 10, was picked as the winner of a contest to design a logo marking the 150th anniversary of St Matthew's Church, High Street, Yiewsley.

Proud Ashleigh, who was nine when she designed the emblem, now has her design and her name printed on a big banner outside the church, ahead of its anniversary which takes place in July.

Vicar Richard Young said: "The entries were of a very high standard, choosing a winner wasn't easy.

"But we liked Ashleigh's design, there's a big iron cross hanging up inside the church, just like in her logo, it was everything we wanted."

As a prize, her class at St Matthew's Primary School, in High Street, Yiewsley were provided with circus training, and Ashleigh has become and expert plate spinner.
