"Ellie Plume, aged 6, Emily Clarke, aged 9, Elinor Russell, aged 12, and Jamie Cross, aged 6, were treated like pop stars, in a stretch limo.

Sheana Dudley, competition organiser, told Roundhay Today: "The competition was to produce a painting or other piece of art in blue and white depicting sailing and St Andrew's. Ellie won in the under 8 years old category. Emily was the 8-10 years old category winner. Elinor was the winner in the 11 years and above category. Jamie was highly commended for his picture," added Sheana.

"YOT-ART and the Bazaar were all in aid of YOT, St Andrew's fundraising appeal for youth work, restoration of the much-loved pipe organ, and the recent replacement of the toilets," said Sheana.

"We are grateful to Thomasons Funeral Services Ltd for sponsoring the stretch limo," said Rev David Pickering, minister of St Andrew's.

Sheana added YOT-ART and the Bazaar raised over 2,200 for the YOT appeal.
