A SCHOOL writing club is boasting large numbers as well as a competition success in recent times.

Walney School's club is now up to 36 published authors with many of them being published on multiple occasions.

This includes Phoebe Lovidge of class 10W who has been noted as the most prolific published author in school by teachers.

Before Christmas Neve Fallon in class 10W was selected by Furness Litfest as second place in the Key Stage Three category (which they base on age rather than year group) for her poem Change.

The poem focusses on the topic of body image.

Neve was presented an award for her accomplishment in a ceremony conducted by the mayor of Dalton Nick Perie.
