Primary school children from across the Broads will be busy designing magical flags as part of the Broads Bunting Competition.
Hundreds of youngsters have been asked to design a pennant on the theme of ‘The Broads - Britain’s Magical Waterland’ to fly at events throughout the summer.
Pupils from Neatishead and Salhouse Primary Schools will launch the competition as part of English Tourism Week on Friday March 16th at 10.30am at Salhouse Broad.
The event will also mark the launch of the Enjoy the Broads campaign 2012 which aims to encourage people to come and discover all the Broads has to offer. Over 175,000 brochures publicising what there is to see and do in the Broads will be distributed nationwide.
The ten best flags will be woven into strings of bunting to decorate the launch of the Broads Outdoors Festival on May 5th at Whitlingham Country Park, and at Broads events throughout the summer as well as to fly from the Vintage Broadsman.
The pupil with the best entry will win their school the use of Broads Tours’ trip boat, Vintage Broadsman, for an evening, either for a party or to sell tickets for a fund raising event.
The Broads Authority’s Education Officer Nick Sanderson will be visiting schools to inspire pupils about what makes the Broads magical before they begin their designs.
