Wirral schoolchildren are invited to give festival mascot a name

THERE is still time for schools to enter a great competition to name the Claire House Summer Festival mascot.

Planning for the event, on June 25 and 26, is under way but the festival’s mascot still needs a name.

The organisers are asking Wirral school pupils (key stages 1 & 2) to send in their ideas for the blue festival mascot’s name.

The winning class will receive a prize for their school, festival tickets for each pupil, T-shirts and tickets to an Everton Ladies super league match.

There’s a second part to the competition too. Organisers want to see your drawings of the festival mascot at a Wirral landmark. The closing date has been extended to Friday June 10 – entry details are on the festival website.

For this part of the competition there will be one boys winner and one girls winner.

Each winner will receive a Sony PSP console, a festival T-shirt, festival tickets and a week’s free coaching in a sport of their choice.The top ten designs will be displayed on the www.clairehousesummerfestival.com and showcased at the festival itself for the whole of the Wirral to see.
