AN amateur photographer in Quorn has recently won £250 in a competition organised by retirement community developer, McCarthy Stone.
Quorn resident, Dennis Marchant, was chosen as the winner after local residents shared their photographs of their favourite local scenery, wildlife, and landscapes.
McCarthy Stone is currently building the Mill Gardens and Farnham House Retirement Living development in Quorn.
Charnwood Mayor, Councillor Snartt, said: “The standard of all the entries was phenomenal, and were all a real testament to the wonderful area in which we live.
“It was certainly a tough job to judge. I chose Dennis’ image as the winner as I felt it captured the beautiful orchard in all its glory.” Samantha Watkins, Deputy Divisional Sales and Marketing Director at McCarthy Stone Midlands, says Quorn, Leicestershire, has many stunning views and places to visit.
Samantha said:
“It is important that our new community at Mill Gardens and Farnham House get to discover some of these for themselves, and we thought our photography competition offered the perfect way to do this.
“I echo Councillor Snartt when I say that all of the entries we received were brilliant. I’d like to offer our congratulations to Dennis for his winning photograph, as well as our thanks to Councillor Snartt for taking on the tough role of judge.”
Mill Gardens and Farnham House are situated in the heart of Charnwood Forest and just off the high street. Once complete, the development will offer a choice of bungalows and apartments.
Dennis said: “I was thrilled to be chosen as the winner of the competition. We are really fortunate to have some wonderful landscapes here in Quorn, so it was an absolute joy to photograph.”
