 Carnival Week - 12-19th July We've
just finished an incredibly successful Carnival Week, blessed with
amazing weather and a series of fantastic events across the 8 days. The
week culminated in the Carnival Parade through the town on the evening
of Saturday 19th July - and the street collection during the parade
raised £2291, which was up by 5% on last year, so a massive thank you to
everyone! Lion Graeme Ugle puts together short films of all our main events and here is his video of the Carnival 2014. Also
during the Carnival week, we were delighted to welcome Emma Barton, who
plays Honey Mitchell in BBC1's Eastenders, to our Fun Day in the
Meadows, where she crowned our 2014 Carnival Princess Emilia Barrett and her attendants Kina Massey and Ella Baker (see below).  Once we know the final total raised across all the events of the week, we'll be updating this page and our Facebook page, so keep a lookout! 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'  We had a brilliant talk fron Ian Bertie on SARDA - Search and Rescue Dogs Association Here is a link to his presentation. It can take a while to load!
