TWYFORD PHOTO CONTEST: CELEBRATING NATURE THROUGH LOCKDOWN

People in Twyford, Ruscombe and the surrounding areas are being asked to share photographs of their experiences of getting outdoors in the local countryside during lockdown for a competition.

McCarthy and Stone, the UK’s leading manager and developer of retirement communities, which has a development in Twyford, Loddon House, is hoping to create lasting memories of challenging times. The competition aims to showcase photographs of scenery, wildlife and landscapes taken by members of the community during lockdown.

The winner of the competition will have their chosen photo professionally framed and installed in the brand-new communal lounge at Loddon House, which will be unveiled as part of a week-long VIP Event in September 2020. Additionally, the winner will also be awarded a £100 Amazon Gift Card

Nicki Beswarick, Divisional Marketing Manager for McCarthy and Stone South, comments: “Photos can be as creative as you like; taken at home in the garden if you were shielding during this time, or on some of your best walks and local discoveries when you would go outside for exercise. It is hoped the photos will help us all to remember just how important nature and the great outdoors have been while we were asked to stay at home.

“We want the winning photo to celebrate the wonderful sights and landscapes of the Twyford and Ruscombe area that we’ve been discovering, or rediscovering, over recent months, so we can bring the outside in to our new communal lounge at Loddon House. The photo will be enjoyed for years to come by our residents and customers at the development.”

All photos must be dated between March 2020 and June 2020. Each entrant is permitted to submit a maximum of five photos. These should be emailed to mccarthyandstone@mccann.com by 21st August 2020 with the subject ‘Twyford photo contest’. In your email you should include your full name and contact details, a title for your photograph and where it was taken.

Open to all ages. Under 16s must ask an adult’s permission. Please ask permission of anyone who appears in your photo.

Located on London Road, each individual apartment at Loddon House in Twyford is finished to a high specification, with stylish fixtures and fittings throughout. Apartments either have a balcony or walk-out patio, and those on the top floor have privileged views across open countryside.

The development also features car parking and landscaped gardens which are maintained by McCarthy and Stone’s team of experts. Prices at Loddon House currently start from £495,000 for a two-bedroom apartment. For more information, please contact McCarthy and Stone on 0800 3100 383 or visit www.mccarthyandstone.co.uk.
