The Brixham Fish Shop
Individual, custom made knitted keyrings, by some of our lovely supporters.
These cost £2.50 each. Postage within UK is free, and overseas will be judged by numbers needed. Tracked postage is available (please ask).* Payment via Paypal, or they can be bought in person at any of our fundraising stands. *Please note that each of these fish is completely individual, so all patterns vary, however if you have colour preferences, please let us know, and we will see what we have. To order, please drop us an email on southdevonplayers@gmail.com, with any requirements, how many keyrings you require, and where we will be sending them, and we will send you over a paypal invoice. Keyrings are sent out within 3 days of a paid order being received.

About our lovely volunteers
who make the fish
Margaret Johnson knits fish key rings for The South Devon Players to help them raise important funds.
We first met Laura and other members of the South Devon Players two years ago at Brixham Pirate Festival. They were so friendly and we all had a great laugh with them. Laura and South Devon Players also include our son whenever we see them. He has a heart condition, but although Laura and others know this, he is accepted as being normal. Sadly since then, Margaret has suffered a stroke and for a while lost the ability to knit. To aid recovery and get her used to reading simple patterns again, she has started to knit fish. Margaret knits the bodies, Allie Hinton, Margaret's daughter, sews and fills the fish and Nick, Allies husband, attaches the key rings. They are then posted to Laura in Brixham. There may be other knitted key rings in due course. Allie Hinton
