Judging the Shop Window Competition

At 11.30 I met Town Centre Manager Mitch Roberts, and Newbury Retail Association Chairman Brian Burgess to walk around the town and judge the best Christmas shop windows.

Unfortunately I forgot to take my camera for this, but will photograph the winner when we present the prize next Wednesday. It was disappointing that few shops had made more than a cursory attempt to dress their windows for Christmas; - we were looking for original, preferably hand made decorations, or a theme. The winning window was excellent, as you will see soon....

Mitch was used to a more leisurely pace for the judging, but I had to be back at the Town Hall for the second set of Winchcombe pupils by 12.45pm!
