A MEMBER of the Clevedon Inner Wheel group triumphed at a recent international writing competition.

Ann Fox entered her story, called Purge, in the International Inner Wheel Literary Awards this year and was announced as the winner at a ceremony in Turin.

The 64-year-old, who now lives in Blagdon and is 1st Vice President for the Inner Wheel district, was presented with a silver necklace in recognition of her win, which was made all the more impressive considering it was her first attempt at writing a fictional story.
