Thanks to everyone who entered the summer competition! The winner was Emily Hall from Walberton who won the talking drum with these excellent lines of verse to explain how she would put it to use.

I'd tear off the postage and wrapping
And hope that my neighbours were napping
They'd leap from their sofas,
the miserable loafers
and curse my continual tapping
For lo! it'd always be playing
And who knows what it'd be saying?
For the power of music
Is so analgesic
To me, but to them it's dismaying
