Dear Boys and Girls,

Next week sees the launch of a new-look Junior Advertiser page, featuring our two new characters.

In addition to our weekly competition you will find an activity, such as a word search, spot the difference puzzle or crossword to do — just for fun.

Some weeks there will be a recipe you can try at home and you can also watch out for reviews of family films and computer games.

By the way, if you think you have what it takes to write a review, contact Tiggy Trotter on junior@newarkadvertiser.co.uk

You will also be able to send in your own pictures for our Junior Advertiser online picture gallery.

When sending in your photographs, you may include anything from places to pets or from clubs to collectables. See it, snap it and send it in.

Either email them to junior@newarkadvertiser.co.uk  or send them in the post to Tiggy Trotter, Newark Advertiser, Appletongate, Newark, NG24 1JX.

Please make sure you have a parent’s or legal guardian’s permission before you send them in, and remember that all pictures will be printed and uploaded to the website at the editor’s discretion.

Last week I mentioned that there will be a great opportunity to meet the new Junior Advertiser characters at the Newark and Nottinghamshire County Show tomorrow and Sunday.

Just call in at the Advertiser stand on the corner of Avenue A and Marrison Way where they will be there to greet you. We will have three competitions for you to enter at the show.

You will be asked to suggest names for both the boy and girl.

Two winners, who come up with the best names, will each receive a £25 voucher to spend in Woolworths at Northgate Retail Park, Newark.

All entries will go into a free prize draw. Ten winners will each receive a family pass to Wheelgate Park, near Mansfield. Each pass admits two adults and two children.

In our second competition you can win a Kodak EasyShare C613 zoom digital camera from Kodak Express, Middlegate, Newark.

All you need to do is to take a picture at the show.

You can photograph anything at all connected to the show using either a family camera or a mobile phone.

Send it into the Advertiser at junior@newarkadvertiser.co.uk  and all pictures will be shown on the Junior Advertiser picture gallery at www.newarkadvertiser.co.uk
Visitors to the Advertiser stand at the show can also enter our Junior Jive competition.

Score the highest marks and you could walk away with a top prize. There’s one for the boys and one for the girls.

There are four runners-up prizes of family passes to Reel Cinemas, Newark. Each pass admits two adults and two children. Two will be won by boys, and two by girls.

I hope you enjoy meeting our new characters at the show and we certainly look forward to seeing you there.

Next week you will find the new page in your Advertiser just after the Arts and Entertainment section.

Until next week with the new-look page,

Tiggy.
