I WOULD like to express our sincere thanks to a number of local businesses who generously supported Tavistock Twinning Association's recent Novemberfest fundraising event.

Raffle prizes were donated by the Bedford Hotel, Cooperative Food, N H Creber, Lawsons, Orchard Learning Studios, Riverford Vegetable Boxes and Charles Steevenson Wines.

A total of £310 was raised on the evening to help us to welcome and entertain visitors from Tavistock's twin towns of Pontivy and Celle.

Our next visitors will be from Celle in August 2012. Anyone interested in joining the Association can get more information by ringing me on 01822 859212.

Secretary, Tavistock Twinning Association
