IT?was the decade of the New Romantics, shoulder pads and 'big hair' — and the 1980s were on show again at a hair and beauty salon in Tavistock last Friday.

Staff at Sisters Hair and Beauty in Market Street, Tavistock, donned retro outfits for an '80s-themed day at the salon to play their part in raising funds for Children in Need.

Pictured are Sarah Crocker, Nicky Crocker, Jodie Bayne, Carmel Nye, Katie Lynch, Julie Williams, Michelle Baxter, Chantelle Alomair, Micheala Barnett and Lauren Matthews.

The team raised £116.90 from donations throughout the day, and expressed thanks to all the customers who supported them.

Children in Need fundraising events took place at a host of outlets in Tavistock.

Head shaves, cake-baking, spotty costumes and open air music were just some of the efforts made in town and village on behalf of the popular annual appeal.
