ON DECEMBER 3, I fell over and badly broke my leg in West Street, near the junction with King Street. Two passing pedestrians very kindly came to my aid. Many thanks indeed to the unknown gentleman and young lady who came to my assistance. Tom Bird Gulworthy MANY thanks to the kind person who found my purse and returned it to the Pannier Market on December 17.  I am most grateful.  It's heartwarming to know the spirit of Christmas is alive and well in Tavistock. The money in the purse has gone to a charity. Judith Brown Bere Alston A BIG thank you to TASS (Tavistock Area Support Services) for the lovely hampers given to so many folk, bringing some welcome Christmas cheer. The recipients at Mary Tavy expressed delight and appreciation for being remembered — it really did make a huge difference to their celebrations. Tony Smith Lydford THROUGH your columns may we thank all our friends who supported our recent charity drinks party for Christian Aid. We are please to report that £520 was raised, which has now been sent to Christian Aid to support their many overseas relief projects. Kate and John Harding Tavistock
