This years Best Dressed Window competition is expected to be the most fiercely fought window dressing competition since the most fiercely fought window dressing competition of 1926.
2006 saw a tremendous entry with numbers competing for this most coveted prize, up 21% on 2005.
Rules for the competition are :-
You must provide the window. This can be a house, shop, pub, car, caravan, shed, kiosk (like the one the woman at Asda sits in to take the cash for the petrol....... Bert !! )
The widow must be dressed to the Copshaw Common Riding theme.(this is mandatory - any deviation and the window will be void)
The windows will be judged by The Tub
The Tub`s decision is final
The winner will be announced on Common Riding Day at the Fountain
So lets see a big effort this year for 2007 Tub Pearson and make it a year for him to remember.
Mrs Thompson gets into the Common Riding spirit decorating her shop window. Mrs Thompson spent 2 days perfecting the window in a bid to take the Best Dressed Window Prize, "the first 36 hours were the worst" she said "my husband forgot I was there so I didn`t get my evening meal that night and I never slept, thankfully Boom came along at 4.30 the next morning and raised the alarm" Brenda finally finished her masterpiece 3 days later.
