Wigtown Book Festival Education Programme

Why is this enewsletter so short? We’ve just heard that Wigtown Festival Company has been  shortlisted in a national funding scheme run by RBS and  we’d love you to vote for us. Why is the public vote important? It’s like an additional, enthusiastic member of the judging  panel so the more votes we get, the better. What happens if you win? If our application is selected, we’ll receive funding towards  our Education Programme, which brings school pupils to  the book festival and takes authors out to schools across  the region. What do I have to do? Please vote online at  http://skillsandopportunitiesfund.rbs.co.uk/vote.html. It takes less than a minute and the deadline is  Friday 22nd April. Anything else? Please tell your friends and help us spread the word. If you’d like to Tweet about the public vote, here’s a  suggestion: Vote for @WigtownBookFest to receive funding from  RBS to bring pupils & children’s authors together.  Please RT. http://bit.ly/1TFPxXs And if you’d like to share it on Facebook, you could say  something like this: http://skillsandopportunitiesfund.rbs.co.uk/vote.html @WigtownBookFestival has been shortlisted to receive  funds from RBS.
