The Vieux Carre Jazzmen's Mardi Gras Celebration at The Boardwalk, Whitley Bay.
Norma Barnes scoops 1st prize for her home-made Mardi Gras mask. Judge, Helen Moore, Community Arts Development Manager for Blyth Valley Arts & Leisure said, "there were lots of excellent masks, including one with a Newcastle United theme which could have won. However, Norma's got the nod when I looked at the reverse side of the mask to see it was made from a corn flakes packet - well done Norma! "
