"These plays were adjudicated and there were 14 trophies awarded on the final evening. The overall winner gets the chance to perform their play at the all-winners' final which is to be held in Blackburn this year."

The event was opened and closed by Playgoers chairman Ken Blankley who thanked all those involved, especially Sue Sharman who takes on the task of putting the festival together.

On Saturday evening, Mayor of Skegness, Councillor Mark Anderson and Councillor John Arnott-Watson, chairman of Ingoldmells Parish Council attended to watch the final performance and hand out the trophies.
