The competition, run by Evonprint, one of Sussex’ s leading print and design specialists, is designed to encourage children to use their imaginations and develop their story writing skills.
Steve Rowland, managing director at Evonprint, said:“ Education is something we are passionate about at Evonprint, which is why we wanted to run a competition to get kids writing. Young people from schools across Sussex are free to write a short story from their imaginations – anything goes! It can be a picture book or non-illustrated, we are just very excited to see what stories the children come up with.”
Two winners will be chosen from schools across Sussex( one primary and one secondary school winner) and will have their creations printed and bound by Evonprint into five beautiful books to keep, or hand out to family and friends. Each of the two children will also receive a £ 50 Amazon voucher and their school will receive £ 75 worth of national book tokens to enhance its own library.
ASHDOWN PARK HOTEL TEAMS UP WITH TESLA MOTORS
The Ashdown Park Hotel has teamed up with Tesla Motors to provide an increasingly desirable amenity: Tesla Destination Charging. Tesla Wall Connectors add more than 80 km / 50 miles of range per hour, charging the vehicle overnight and replicating the convenience Tesla owners are accustomed to at home.
The Ashdown Park Hotel joins a rapidly growing network of resorts in Tesla’ s Destination Charging programme. Tesla partners with hotels, resorts, and restaurants around the world to offer Tesla Wall Connectors as an amenity for visitors, allowing them to charge their Tesla at locations where they want to stay for several hours such as hotels, ski resorts, and restaurants. The Model S offers up to 550 km / 345 miles of range on a single charge, so the High Power Wall Connector( HPWC) can easily top off the Tesla in just a few hours.
“ Ashdown Park Hotel is constantly finding new ways to heighten the guests’ experience,” says Ben Booker, general manager of Ashdown Park Hotel.“ By combining leading-edge technology and the forwardthinking of Tesla with our commitment to provide outstanding service and offerings, we now have the ability to offer guests a seamless and convenient charging experience during their stay.”
The Ashdown Park Hotel and other Tesla Destination Charging locations are hosted on Tesla’ s interactive webpage and are GPS located on the vehicle ' s navigation through Tesla’ s free over-the-air software update sent wirelessly to the car. Tesla owners are able to use the 17-inch touch screen to easily plan trips and locate the property.
