Models of success at art finals


The Clare Community Games county finals in art and model making were held at the CBS, Ennis on Saturday last and attracted a very big entry of over 400 competitors, from 23 areas.

In the case of the model making, competitors had to create, within three hours, a model out of any material with Community Games theme.
The adjudication in both cases was based on observation of events, creativity and originality and natural ability. A number of special category competitors took part in the final this year.
The following, who represented Clare at the national finals last year, were winners again in their respective age categories. In art, Paraic O’Gorman, Kilmihil won the U-14 category while in model making David Hamilton, Sixmilebridge/Kilmurry, qualified in the U-12 category.
The judges were Clodagh Kelly and Louise Houlihan. The county co-ordinator, Cecilia O’Sullivan, congratulated all the competitors for their efforts and participation and wished the winners every success at the National finals in Athlone in May. She acknowledged the judges, supervisors, area secretaries and teachers who promoted it locally, as well as Brother De Róiste, principal of Ennis CBS, for the use of the school.
The prizes will be presented to the area secretaries and delegates at the next county meeting at the West County Hotel, Ennis, on Tuesday, March 1, at 9pm.
