MY LATE mother, Kathleen Kidd, was a resident of Andover between 1991 until she passed away in 2008.

A retired physiotherapist, she was deputy secretary of the Weyhill Seniors’ Club, and she enjoyed poetry, reading and writing.

I would like to announce an annual ‘Kathleen Kidd Award’ with a prize of £100 for the best poem or short story.

Entries are welcome from all readers and the closing date is 31 January. Entries are to be sent to: Richard J Kidd, 5 Danegeld Close, Andover, SP10 5NG or to richardkidd@fsmail.net.
