The prizewinners of the 2016 Best Dressed Shop Window Contest were presented with their prizes this morning outside the premises of the winner Lynne J Stewart who was collecting the trophy for the fourth time. Runners up were former (and indeed inaugural) winners, Nicol's Opticians and third place went to the Alva Fishmongers.

Games Chairman, Provost Derek Stewart made the presentation of the Alva Games Cup, certificates and cash prizes and commented "It was great to see so much effort made by the shopkeepers who took part to reflect the theme of the contest with bright and colourful displays and with novel and intricate handicrafting for which all of the participants should be rightly proud. It is a credit to the town of Alva".
