Getting ready for the Christmas Parade

We are now all systems go for planning this year's Brixham Christmas Parade for Sat 8th Dec starting at the bottom of Fore Street at 6.30pm. We have lengthened the route to go around the town, and part-way round again to finish in the central car park. This will be followed by a Children's Party, dancing and karaoke in the Scala Hall and refreshments in the upstairs lounge of the Town Hall for the adults.

Please note the party will only be for adults/children costumed and taking part in the parade. It is therefore very important that everyone is registered so we know the numbers to cater for.

In the lead up to the parade we are running FREE workshops:

Lantern Making Workshops at the Brixham College, Westover Close:

Make and decorate your own lantern which will be illuminated for you to carry in the parade.

Lantern Workshops:

Based on the story of The Nutcracker, children will make toy soldier, ballerina and mice costumes, which they will wear in the Christmas Parade. Adult volunteers to help would be greatly appreciated.

To avoid disappointment book your place on one of the workshops now. Parade entry is free; everyone is welcome to join in, either as a group, a family or an individual entry. But please if you would like to join in the party fun afterwards, make sure you register your entry. For registration forms call Mary on 851738.

Our next meeting is to be held in Brixham 21 Office (on the Quay) Thu 1st Nov at 7.30pm.

Everyone interested in the parade, please come along. If you would like to help us with marshalling or the party, or in any way at all there are lots of jobs to be done and your help would be much appreciated.
