PICTURES: Worthing's wood sculptures

CHILDREN have used their memories of the tons of timber that washed up on Worthing's beaches to create wood sculptures.

The sculpture competition, held on Sunday, January 25, was the last event in the Ice Prince Festival which was organised by Worthing Arts Council to mark the first anniversary of the timber hitting Worthing.

There were 11 people taking part in the competition at Splash Point and using wood donated through Worthing Freecycle and scrap wood from Wenban-Smith in Worthing.

The winner was Thomas Nulty, from Heene Terrace, who created a pentangle with his dad Jonathan.

Brothers Dylan and Barney Sykes were runners-up thanks to their wooden pyramid.

The winners were given a mounted photo of their sculpture and got a slice of organic chocolate torte and hot chocolate from Coast caf.

The sculpture event rounded off a week of activities which included daily photo exhibitions, a free music workshop and the showing of a special film made about the wood invasion on January 19, 2009.
