Hello everyone Reading this gave me a lovely feeling that events in the past do still linger into the future. I am sure that Shawland's Academy would love to hear from Ian Middleton. Shawland's Academy has a long and prestigious history in Glasgow and something like this which has stood the test of time would be well accepted. Go for it Ian.

This event was open to all school children within Glasgow. To my surprise I was awarded a bronze medal for my artistic contribution to this event. I still display my medal with pride 46 years after.

The medallion is oval, 30mm at the longest dimension and 20mm wide. The front of the medallion has R MIDDLETON across the centre and around the border "PALMAM QUI MERUIT FERAT". The reverse side has an outline of a statuesque woman standing on a base with the name GLASGOW across it and around the border CORPORATION DRAWING COMPETION. The medallion was given to me along with Richard`s Military Medals but with no information about it.
