Pateley Bridge hamper competition supports mayor's appeal
With a second lockdown now affecting Pateley Bridge High Street, Pat and Andrew Waite hope to bring some festive cheer.
The couple, who have run The Sandwich Box takeaway for 10 years, are currently collecting prizes for three hampers that can be won in a Christmas competition.
Local shops and and other businesses have responded enthusiastically by donating items for the hampers.
Numbered squares on a competition board, costing £5 apiece, will be on sale from 16 November and proceeds will help boost the Mayor’s annual appeal.
Mr Waite, said:
The coronavirus crisis, which has brought two lockdowns, has put paid next month's late-night shopping event in the town and Mrs Waite, added:
All shops and other businesses that donate prizes will have their name listed against the item they have given.
The list will be on display in The Sandwich Box, in Back High Street, where entrants in the competition can also select a square or squares.

Because the business is a takeaway, it will remain open throughout the current lockdown.
The Mayor of Pateley Bridge, Councillor Mike Holt, who has donated a bottle of champagne for the competition, told the Stray Ferret:
Following a successful Christmas lights appeal, supported by the town's traders and residents, Pateley Bridge High Street will have enhanced Christmas decorations this year.
A collective effort saw the town council work alongside retailers and other business owners, Nidderdale Chamber of Trade and the local community to raise the funds for extension of the lights.
Harrogate Borough Council will provide two large Christmas trees.
