Arts and Crafts on Polling Day


Just to prove that there are other things to focus on besides Opinion Polls the congregation at St. James' Church, West Teignmouth set up it's first Arts and Crafts Exhibition with displays of painting, craftwork, jewellery, embroidery and much more. The sheer volume of exhibits was quite unexpected for such a small band of dedicated people to gather together and there is no doubt that this will become an annual event to rival the Flower Festival at St. Michael's East Teignmouth. The opening of this three day event on the day of the General Election was a master stroke ensuring a constant supply of people leaving the Polling Station next door to pop and see what the exhibition was all about.
