A Tenby student’s artwork depicting an RNLI lifeboat in the year the organisation marks its 200th anniversary - has seen her design don the Christmas card that the seaside town’s Mayor sends out over the festive period.

Recently, TAMARR pupils at Ysgol Greenhill had the opportunity to participate in an arts workshop led by local artist and town councillor Tom Sloan.

Organised by Tenby Arts Events, this adventure provided Greenhill pupils with a fantastic platform from which to unleash their creativity, allowing them to express themselves through art.

It proved to be a truly inspiring experience for everyone involved - and the school is exceptionally proud that pupil Poppy Rose Jones was named the event’s overall winner.

Her superb artwork impressed those picking a winner, which included representatives from the RNLI, Tenby Town Council and several local businesses.

Poppy's entry, which portrays an RNLI lifeboat, has now become the Tenby Town Council Christmas card that the Mayor will circulate throughout Pembrokeshire this Christmas.

Tenby Arts Events said it was ‘inundated’ with RNLI artwork after launching the competition, and took a lot longer to sort through entrants, with genuinely hundreds of submissions from local creatives, who they thanked for taking part.

With some amazing art work created, Tenby Arts Events says it will be looking to showcase all the work at a community exhibition soon.

“Thank you to Tom Sloan and Mayor of Tenby Cllr Dai Morgan for inviting Ysgol Greenhill to participate in this fantastic event, and for visiting our school to award Poppy with both her certificate of achievement and a copy of her Christmas card design,” said a spokesperson for Ysgol Greenhill.

“Both Poppy and the entire TAMARR team should be extremely pleased with themselves for engaging so enthusiastically with this challenge.

“You are an undeniable credit to the Greenhill community,” they added.
