The children told the Mayor what had attracted them to their particular subject and how they had composed their picture.
The Mayor said “how encouraging it is to see the younger generation taking an interest in their local environment. Gravesend and its multicultural society has so much to offer to so many people. All children who took part in the competition are to be congratulated and hopefully next year there will be even more entries..”
He thanked Rotary for organising the competition and for the many ways it served society.
