 Local
school designs Icom’s Christmas cards
Herne Bay based company Icom UK recently invited the pupils of Hampton
Primary School to design their Christmas Cards this year.
Children in years 5 and 6 each designed cards. Five designs were selected
to be incorporated into Icom’s card which is to be sent to Icom
Dealers and customers across the country.
The project began in October when members of Icom attended the school
to give a brief presentation on how radio works and to invite the children
to design Christmas Cards incorporating Icom radios and logo into their
designs. Following the presentation the children were given two weeks
to design their cards.
The winning design has taken pride of place on the front of the card
and the remaining 4 designs have been placed on the inside. The five winners
each received a small prize from Icom which was given to them at a small
presentation.
Andy Stockley, Icom Director said, “We decided to ask local children
to design our Christmas cards this year as it gives them the chance to
be creative and it also gives us a unique Christmas card design which
is a million miles away from the normal boring and staid company Christmas
cards that are usually sent. Plus I am especially pleased to have been
able to give something back to the primary school that all my children
and nieces and nephews have attended The quality of entries was amazing
and it was really difficult to choose the winners. We would like to thank
all the Children in years 5 and 6, Mr David Haywood, the headmaster and
all the staff for their help in organising this project”.
David Hayward, Hampton Primary School headmaster said, “Icom have
always been involved with the Parents & Friends Association of Hampton
School and we were delighted when they got in contact with us and put
forward their suggestion. The children had a brilliant time designing
the cards. It was great to see them all get so involved. Icom gave a lovely
presentation at the beginning of this project and the children all seemed
very interested in the subject. The five children who won were absolutely
delighted and were really impressed to see their designs as real cards.
I would like to thank Icom for their continued support of the school”.
