Excellent show

Dec 18, 2002

THERE was an excellent response to the Christmas window competition run by the Barnard Castle Meet committee, with 50 windows being judged on Saturday.

Meet chairman, Steve Wilson, said: “We think the town looks good; it’s very encouraging and we are delighted.”

Tates won the large shops section and a £25 prize which they donated to St Teresa’s Hospice; The Hayloft won the medium shops (£25) and the Thrift Shop in Hall Street won the small shops section (£25).

The Montalbo Trophy went to The Hayloft. Highly-commended were Castle Cakes and Sugar Craft on The Bank and A Cut Above.

Dawn-Marie Prewitt’s outside lights display at The Oval, at Stainton Grove, won her a bottle of Champagne, with Peter and Norma Murton of Hawthorn Drive, taking second place, with their singing Santas, winning them a box of chocs.
