ANYONE who will be on their own for Christmas this year is invited to enjoy Christmas lunch with others at Tavistock United Reformed Church.

This will be the sixth year that volunteers from the town have come together to put on a lunch and entertainment for anyone who doesn't want to spend Christmas Day on their own.

Transport can be provided and a traditional turkey lunch with Christmas pudding will be served.

This event would not be possible without the generosity of businesses, groups and individuals who donate food and money as well as the many volunteers who give up their time to set up, prepare, cook, drive, serve, wash up, entertain and clear away.

The event starts at 11.30am, following the 10am Christmas morning service, to which all are welcome, and finishes at 3.45pm.

There is no charge for the day but guests and volunteers must register their intention to come.

Guests must complete the form on page 16 of December's West Devon Diary or contact 01822 614613 with their name, address, telephone, whether transport is required and whether you are vegetarian or diabetic.

Any financial donations should be made by cheque payable to Christmas Day Appeal and sent to 1 Maple Close, Tavistock, PL19 9LL.
