Brian Rogers, secretary of the Littlehampton and Rustington Philatelic Society, presented Annabelle and Katherine with their trophies at a school assembly. Other club members doing well in the competition were Anis Magano, whose set on the subject of animals took second place in the under-10s, and Jen Ewert, third in that age group with a space-themed entry and Abbie Raynor West, who was commended. In the 10-12 category, Tyler Whitcombe came second with a display on the Olympics, 1948-2012. A surprise presentation of the Vallings Shield was made to Georgian Gardens head teacher Bill Molloy, for the highest aggregate score in the under-10 age group.
