Trees of Light Presentations 2025
Thanks to your generosity in sponsoring the Trees of Light in December 2024, in February 2025 we were able to donate £2,250 to each of the four charities- the local branches of Marie Curie and MND Association , Derriford Children’s Cancer Services and Children’s Hospice SW. Here are representatives of the charities with their presentation cheques.
Ukraine Crisis Relief - an ongoing project
Ukraine Crisis Relief - an ongoing project
On 15 March 2025 we held a bucket collection in Bedford Square - your generous support raised £627, which will go towards our next trip to Poland with aid that will quickly be delivered to where it is needed in Ukraine. Thank you all so much!
You can drop off donations to be taken to Ukraine at Shields DIY - currently children's clothes and sanitary items (children and adults) are particularly in demand.
Hugely successful Carnival in Tavistock!
What a Carnival it's been! The Carnival trolley draw at Morrisons, which was won by Brenda Hinson, raised £653 for local charities. We then had the Tavi Fringe event on the evening of 11 July, continuing into 12 July, when the performers excelled in spite of the heat, and the town was really buzzing!
Despite the hot weather - which prompted the postponement of the dog show - a large number of people were in the Meadows on Sunday for the Lions' Fun Day on 13 July. The many charity stalls did a roaring trade, as did the ladies running the Lions' tea tent and the Lions on their BBQ, which this year was supplemented by a tasty paella provided by Lion Paul Rimmer and wife Jill. The Young Ambassadors ran a treasure hunt around the site and a name the Lion competition and during the afternoon each were presented with a gift, on behalf of the Club, by Town Mayor Steve Hipsey. There were demonstrations of circus skills and tag rugby and a very traditional Punch and Judy, which was a great hit with the children. Lamerton Primary School ran the duck race on the canal with duck number 5 crossing the finishing line first winning its owner £50. Musical entertainment during the afternoon was provided by duo Jack of All Trades and Blowzone. All in all, a great afternoon enjoyed by everybody there!
During the rest of the week, we enjoyed the peace posters, the pavement artists, the concert in the church, the town relays, a petanque tournament, an open mic at the Trout 'n' Tipple, the traders' skittles evening, the fun run, the classic cars in Guildhall Square, and all week the Drawn to the Valley art exhibition in Butchers' Hall.
The Lions Club of Tavistock would like to thank each and every person who participated or who came along to support all these events. All the money raised will go to local charities.
