Children from the three primary schools were invited to design a Christmas Card that would go to every house in Loanhead. The card would carry a Christmas message and times of services at Loanhead Parish Church and St Margaret's RC church.
The printing of the card costs were met from The Rev R W Thompson Bequest Fund. The Christmas Card competition was judged by Mrs Margaret Thompson and her son Councillor Owen Thompson. Eight winners were selected and then one of those eight to be the overall winner and the Christmas Card Design.
The winners were announced at a Christmas Event on Saturday 11th December. They were :
