Hattie, 10, designs MP's Christmas card
11:28am Tuesday 6th November 2007 in News By Harris Dee
Jeremy Browne views the finalists of his 2007 Christmas card competition with judges Phil Hill, of the County Gazette, Tony Bell, Temple Methodist Church, and Jane Burden, Taunton Chamber of Commerce.
A CHRISTMAS card designed by a ten-year-old Taunton girl is going to be sent to hundreds of people by Taunton MP Jeremy Browne.
Hattie Beck, from Blackbrook Primary School, in Taunton, won Mr Browne's 2007 design a Christmas card competition.
Judges picked Hattie's snowman design from dozens of quality entries.
Mr Browne said: "I send hundreds of Christmas cards every year.
"Rather than using a conventional picture, I enjoy holding a competition for local primary schoolchildren to design a card for me.
"Hattie's is a brilliant picture which also captures the childhood excitement and innocence that is part of Christmas.
"I'm grateful to all the primary schools that participated - there were dozens of excellent entries and it was difficult for the judges to pick a winner.
"I'm looking forward to meeting Hattie and presenting her with a prize."
