The judging panel consisted of three retired ladies from the community, Anne Gadd, Jackie Johnson and Margaret Mayer, whom Marion explained had been chosen as they did not personally know any of the entrants.

Announcing their decision to the girls Margaret said: "We wished we could have chosen you all, it was a very hard choice with all of you looking so beautiful and being so well behaved."

Ten year old Victoria was entered for the competition by her Grandma Jean, who accompanied her to the competition, and is a pupil at Little Common school.

Victoria said she was, "really shocked" to have been chosen as the winner but added, "I'm pleased, and I think my Dad and Step-Mum will be pleased with me."

The girls will be kept busy in the next year attending many events including riding on the Community Princess/Queen float at the Carnival in July.
