I have this good friend who has dedicated a bench in Spennymoor Park to her late much loved aunt and uncle. Every spring she takes her water bucket and brushes to clean the winter detritus from the bench and stains and then seals it afresh for another summer. So she remembers them.
So it is I am now intrigued that alongside, Dr Philip Le Dune and Writer Sue Spencer, I am been asked by Rachel Cochrane (see details HERE ) to judge a unique writing competition with the theme BENCHMARK.
We know Rachel at Room to Write because she recorded the winners of our own short story competition – See HERE - on Listenupnorth, her online audio magazine
FOR HER COMPETITION RACHEL ASKS YOU TO
Imagine you had a bench dedicated to you:
What would it say on the plaque?
Where would it be?
Why have you chosen that particular place?
Rachel’s says that through her on-line radio play Benchmark and this associated writing competition, she wants to encourage people to think positively about their lives and raise vital funds for Willow Burn Hospice.
