Recent Events

  Murder Mystery

We had a brilliant  Murder Mystery Evening at the Terrace Restaurant, Pym Street, Tavistock

on Saturday featuring the Tavonians with its production of “Weddings can be Murder!”

We raised approximately £650 for Meningitis Now - a great result!

The Trees of Light

Here is a photograph of the Charities receiving their cheques from Lion President Pat Macauley -

the final total for donations for Trees of Light was £5,187,

The Club then topped this up to £5,400 - so each charity received £1800.

Charities supported were local branches of the Chestnut Appeal, Motor Neurone Disease and

the Tavistock Chemotherapy and Triangle Centre.

There will be another payment of around £200  when we receive gift aid. So £2000 for each

Charity is a great result and we know how much it meant to be able to remember loved ones

especially at Christmas.....

You will find more information if you follow the link in the side bar to 'Christmas Trees of Light'
