LEEFORD VILLAGE COMPETITION                RESULT:   Monday 14 October 2019

 

It gives me great pleasure to announce the results of the competition:

We have 2 winners, who both go away with a copy of 'Banfield Tales' and publication of their 'walk-on' part in the serial. 😃

 

******************************************************************

The winners are Karen Cooper and Lorraine Essery

******************************************************************

The correct answer was 'Roberts' - Doctor Jeremy Roberts.

Well done, and I hope you had fun being involved in our first competition. Just think, the line you write for the character you invent will be published on the Express and Star website, and on the websites of Michael Braccia and Jon Markes, of course!

 

I hope you will both enjoy reading my collection of short stories and of course the continuing saga of the people of Leeford.

Now folks, watch out for episode 5, where Karen makes her literary debut. I'm not going to give anything away, except to say that the Leeford Village library is involved. Don't hold me to this (and don't tell Jon I said so) but I think that Lorraine's character will pop up in episode 6.

 

It's been great fun. We can't do this every week (or even every month) but if enough people are interested, we will look at the possibility of organising competitions in the future. Let us know what you think. We would love to hear your comments on the characters, and questions about them as they develop. It may not be Corrie or EastEnders, or even the Archers, but it's ours, and we will be able to change and develop the serial as it goes on.

 

In the meantime, check out www.michaelbraccia.co.uk

and jonmarkes.com and of course expressandstar.com every other Monday morning - next one Monday 21 October (ep. 4).

 

Keep watching and reading, and please share the Leeford posts to as many friends as possible.
