Burnham-On-Sea shop window
competition winners are announced
The
winners of Burnham-On-Sea's annual competition to find dozens
of odd items hidden in shop windows across the town were announced
on Tuesday evening (April 21st).
Burnham's
Deputy Mayor, Derick Coooper, and the Chamber of Trade's outgoing
Chairman, Alex Turco, handed over prizes to the winners before
the group's AGM, as pictured here.
The
popular 'spot the odd item in the window' contest is run each
year by the Chamber Of Trade and sees the public being invited
to find items that shops don't usually display in their windows.
First
prize of £100 cash went to Shirley Schofield, who was the
only person to name all 38 odd items correctly. Second place of
a £20 Sea Breeze voucher went to Tommy Saunter, while third
was Thalia Weeks, who won a £19 Waves & Shades voucher.
Several
participants shared fourth prize. A Ritz Cinema voucher was awarded
to Miss JM Grant, while a fish and chip meal for four at the Pier
Pavilion went to Rebecca and James Duckering, and a jar of traditional
sweets from Roly's Fudge Pantry went to Jack Millier.
Mr
Turco said: "Thank you to all 80 entrants for taking part.
The Chamber's thanks also go to all businesses who displayed an
odd item. The
winner of the best odd item was Salisbury's Florists for the second
year running for the green string down the window."
