On Saturday, members of Exeter Enterprise met at Countess Wear School Exeter to assist with its Summer Fete. Our chosen stand was “Pick a Nail” and for a charge of 50p you picked a nail and depending on its colour, chose a prize from either a blue or red box. If you were lucky enough to pick the Gold Nail, then you received a choice of very special prizes.
