       Tea party with the Mayor for creative competitors!  

The museum held a tea party, attended by The Mayor of Newton Abbot, Mike Hocking, for all those who had entered the museum's WWI creative writing and art competitions.

The children and their parents were able to see the all the winning,and highly commended, entries that were entered in the competition on display in the Council Chamber.  The press attended and there were just enough cakes and sandwiches to satisfy all!
