GRAHAM Collins from Peter Tavy was the very lucky winner of the first prize in this year’s carnival draw organised by the Lions Club of Tavistock.

The picture of a hare was painted in acrylics by Ruby Keller and was donated to the club by Rik Hawkins of the Tavistock Picture Framing Gallery.

Paul Blowey, president of the Lions Club, thanked Rik for his continued and most generous support of the club, the owners of Drake’s Cafe at Grenofen for sponsoring the printing of the tickets and also all of the other local companies that donated prizes. It is estimated that the draw alone raised around £2,000 which will be used to support local charities and good causes in the area
