Brixham Heritage
Museum Victorian Christmas Fayre
On Saturday, Dec 3rd
, we held our Victorian Christmas Fayre, opened by the Brixham
Town Council Chairman, Mr Martyn Hodge. A Grand Tombola greeted
people entering the Museum through a localised snow-fall (artificially
induced of course); the tombola was well supplied by donations
from local traders. |
|
Within the Maritime
Room, we had stalls selling local crafts and baked goods;
upstairs in Babs' Café, there were mince pies and drinks
available.
During the morning,
we awarded the prizes to the children who had entered the
“Name the Bear” competition.
|
|
The winning name
was “Roaring Lola” submitted by Victoria Owen (age 9) who
received a voucher from “Taylor-made Bears” to create her
own “Roaring Lola”.
The second-prize-winner
was Evie Stockman, who received a cuddly bear.

|
At 3pm the Torbay
Council Chairman, Mr Derek Mills, and Mrs Judith Mills, drew
the winning tickets for our Grand Draw which resulted in Mr
S Soper winning the 1st prize (£50 cash), Mrs Linley-Shaw
winning the 2nd prize (a food hamper) and Mrs Piper the 3rd
prize (a Thorntons chocolate selection – donated by Thorntons
of Brixham).
All winners are members
of the Museum History Society. |
|
|
The final result
was very rewarding, producing over £200 more than
last year, so we gratefully thank all our helpers, donors
and customers for their generous support and efforts.
