CLAYGATE TREASURE HUNT

Part of my remit as an Elmbridge Borough Councillor is to promote our shops and businesses in Claygate. This is an ongoing responsibility supported by the Elmbridge Business Network (that supports businesses and start-ups in many ways throughout the Borough). On Saturday 21^st July we had our annual Claygate Treasure Hunt. Twenty exotic birds were placed in participating shops. Entry forms could be collected from Ceramica or from Nathans Bakery and every child participating received a free lollypop. Colourful balloons were placed along the Parade and so the hunt began, bringing parents and children into the village shops.                                                                                    From 10.00am – 4.00pm they could search for the colourful birds and discover what a wonderful Parade of shops we have in our village. The winning family were the Winterfloods who won £50.00 to spend in one of the participating shops of their choice. Dexter (7) and Maxwell (6) along with their mum Sarah chose Fruit World, where mum has been buying their fruit and vegetables from Mick since her boys were babies.
