Former Oyster Queen

Amanda Pritchard from HOLYHEAD was crowned MISS OYSTER FAYRE in the
year 2000.

Her ambition is to see herself on the cover of a glossy magazine, and she was certainly
getting noticed during her year as Ambassador for Anglesey Oyster and Shellfish
Festival. This is not the first competition that Amanda has won though! She won a
bonny baby competition at 10 months old, and was registered with a child modelling
agency in London called Child Play - at the age of 4.

She has won many trophies for ballet, tap and modern dance, and she also secured
a place at the Merseyside College of Dance and Drama, but due to an injured ankle this was not to be.

However, Amanda joined the Tanya Model Agency in North Wales where she
learned how to walk gracefully down the catwalk, apply make-up and also how to
present herself well at interviews and castings. She has since modelled wedding
dresses for Anglesey photographers and has even given acting a go - thanks to the
Sep One Casing Agency in North Wales who have found her "extra work" on S4C
television productions. She has player various parts, on TV, including a barmaid, a
moody teenager, and also in a disco scene.

Amanda was honoured and delighted to be chosen as Miss Oyster Fayre 2000 and
said "It was fantastic - I was treated really well and loved every minute - and am
looking forward to the coming year. The staff at the Trearddur Bay Hotel were
fantastic, and Traed Moch, a local band, were really entertaining - everybody loved
them and they really made the atmosphere. But my ultimate ambition is to see myself
pictured on the cover of a magazine".
CONGRATULATIONS!
AND WELL DONE AMANDA!!
