EDUCATION chiefs are hoping to score a literary triumph with this month's topic for the National Year of Reading.
A range of activities will be taking place to encourage people of all ages to pick up a book or create their own work.
Birchwood Leisure and Tennis Centre will be asking visitors to pen sporty verse while bar staff at Broomfields Leisure Centre will be reading poetry to customers two nights a week.
Youngsters at Great Sankey High and St Stephen's primary schools will be writing about a memorable sports event and, in the best sporting tradition, competing for prizes.
Clr Paul Langford said: "The main aim of these activities is to encourage customers and schoolchildren to read and write about sport. Hopefully by doing this they may be encouraged to become more actively involved in sport."
