Carnival Cup Competition
Congratulations to Paul Sinclair the winner of our competition to see how far one of our highly popular reusable and recyclable cups could travel from Swanage. The competition really took off and captured the imagination with nearly 100 people sending in photographs with their cups from all around the world.
Paul travelled to Slope Point, South Island New Zealand ( the furthest southern tip of New Zealand) a distance of 11935 miles. Not far behind was Jennifer Chen who photographed her cup in Christchurch New Zealand 11874 miles from Swanage.
A big thank you to everyone that took part and to www.goadsby.com for supporting the competition and donating a bottle of champagne to the winner.

The Chairman’s Nominated Charity
St Mary’s Catholic Primary School – a vibrant, popular school whose pupils roll has outgrown existing learning spaces. Additional learning space in the form of a wooden cabin for group activities, including a reading room would make a real difference to the educational opportunities available to pupils.
