The window dressing competition proved a great success with many businesses taking part  to mark the Diamond  Jubilee and Curtis Cup events.

Favourable comments were received from tourists and golf fans alike about how good the High Street looked .

First place went to Big Bloomers , second to Brambles and joint third to Tradeway and The Flower Shop.

Sheena Baker , who sponsored the event, said she was delighted at the response and thanked all involved for their creative efforts.

SHOP WINDOW COMPETITION

A note to let all businesses with display window/s in the Harbour Street, Brae, High Street and Leopold Street know that there is a best dressed window competition planned for the period 30^th May to 10^th June. The prize, donated by Sheena Baker, will be a £50 voucher. Do join in and help theme the town for the Jubilee celebrations and the forthcoming Curtis Cup. If you have two windows you can choose to have the same theme in both or one Jubilee window and one Golf window. The choice is yours.

Judging will take place from 31^st May so you have time to plan and dress the window.

PLEASE DO JOIN IN, Yours could be the winning window!

The brand new Nairn leaflet, organised by the ANB with generous financial support from the Nairn Ward Discretionary Fund, has been received and copies can now be obtained from David Brownless at Bike Bug (455416) or Iain Fairweather at the Model Shop. It is an attractive leaflet with things to do and places to go to along with a little local history, an area map showing the locations of visitor attractions outwith the town and a town map showing visitors where they can eat, stay and find things to do. Please do display some in a prominent position so that visitors can easily locate them.

A former Chair of the ANB, Councillor Michael Green, will be coming to talk to all those interested in discussing the possible resurrection of street markets and other events.
