The creative skills of staff throughout the University came under scrutiny today, as they vied to win an Easter Egg competition.

Their brief was to decorate a standard hen's egg in the most creative and exciting way possible.

The competition, organised by Metceno, offered prizes to the lucky winners whose eggs received the thumbs up from judges.

After a tense deliberation by Margaret Eglington, Cleaning Supervisor, Campus Services, she settled on a creation by web development officer Glenn Herbert - a member of the 'EggsMen'.

Margaret obviously spotting Glenn's handiwork commented: "The reason that I picked the winning egg was because he had put all the art work in to it himself ."

Glenn's reward was a Cadburys Crème Egg Easter Egg. Speaking after his victory, Glenn said: "I can't believe I've won this prize. I'm shell-shocked, but tremendously excited and happy, and will share the egg with my colleagues."
