St Leonards is ablaze with Christmas, showing the world we are up for it; up for trade, up for Christmas, up for a bit of fun. And of all the windows there had to be some winners, so, as chosen by Graham How, here they are:

FIRST: LOVE, Norman Road.
First Prize cup & Digital Radio winners.

Don’t you just luurve it?

SECOND: PLENTY, Grand Parade.
Second Prize cup & Champagne winners.

Somewhere there is a Santa missing a reindeer.

THIRD: HAIRZONE, Kings Road
Third Prize cup & Meat voucher winners.

Nice and elegant.

Highly commended were Gilberts of Kings road , Gill of Kings road, and Essence of Beauty of Kings road.

Well done to all the winners, well done to everybody who made such a good effort: together we are slowly putting St Leonards on the map as a quality shopping destination.

Thanks very much to  Terry Drinkwater of HBC for supplying start up packs of lights and the original concept, Peridot Jewellers for donating the cups, Adams & Jarrett (Retail), Ltd, donating the 1st prize Alpha Cars for donating the 2nd prize, Orton Butchers for donating 3rd prize. All greatly appreciated.
