In this  episode, you’ll hear writings from my fellow scribblers, in particular the winning entries of Bridgend Writers Circle’s Saviker Shield and Keith Cole Poetry Competition. Although this year’s judge of the Saviker Shield didn’t feel a short story was the correct vehicle for a piece of crime fiction, he chose my ‘A Winter’s Tale’ as the winning entry. The second category was won by Mike Hayes, with his memoir 'My First Days', recounting those early school years. The final category was won by Rich Greenwood with his sensitive poem ‘Last Weekend’. 
Illustrating the chaos produced by the Lockdown in the attempts to block the spread of Covid19, and protect us all., Mike Hayes won the Keith Cole Poetry Competition with 'Call to Arms'.
Although winning a competition is often down to what the actual judge is looking for, exploit your niche,  give it a go and put Pen to Paper.
