Burnham shop is named the 'best in the west' for second year running

Delighted Burnham-On-Sea shop owners John and Katharine Edwards are celebrating again after scooping a top award in a national competition for the second year running.

Material Needs in the High Street has been voted 'South West Stitching Retailer Of The Year' at the 2008 Craft Hobby & Stitch International Awards.

The couple travelled to the NEC in Birmingham earlier this week to join an audience of more than 400 people at the awards ceremony.

Katherine told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We're absolutely delighted to have won for a second year - and we both thank all those customers who voted for us."

John added: "Burnham is only a small town, and the South West region covers a large area with many other retailers so there was a lot of competition. We are proud to have won and it's great to see Burnham being recognised as a place to do shopping."

Material Needs was also a runner-up in the 2006 awards and a nominee in 2005.
