Traders
support launch of new Burnham-On-Sea Shopper's Guide
 A
brand new pocket-sized booklet providing an A-Z guide to the best
of Burnham-On-Sea's shops has been officially launched this week.
Burnham-On-Sea
Chamber Of Trade Chairman John Edwards unveiled the pocket-sized
guide at a special ceremony in the town council chambers in Jaycroft
Road on Tuesday evening (June 20th), attended by dozens of traders.
Over
75,000 copies of the guide have been printed and are being distributed
to the region's tourist information centres, shops, motorway services,
pubs and holiday parks in time for the busy summer season.
"Visitors
and local residents often say they are unaware of what Burnham
has to offer. This guide clearly outlines the vast range of goods
and services on offer," John told Burnham-On-Sea.com. "The
new guide will encourage more shopping in our town."
The
booklet - which is available free of charge - shines the spotlight
on some of the 100 or so independent shops in Burnham and opens
up to an A3 broadsheet showing all the major roads, businesses,
facilities and attractions in an eye-catching format. Burnham's
Web site, Burnham-On-Sea.com, features prominently too.
The
centre spread features a large, freehand-drawn map of the town
centre featuring major roads, toilets and car parks.
The
painted images of the shopfronts have been drawn by talented local
artist Judith Champion, who was also at Tuesday's event. Traders
were presented with a painting of their shopfront by Mrs Champion
and Mr Edwards.
Burnham-On-Sea
Mayor, Eric Gill, and town councillor Louise Parkin thanked all
those who had supported the guide and praised Mr Edwards' "incredible
efforts" in getting the document published. He was presented
with a gift by fellow Chamber of Trade member Alex Turco.
