TAVISTOCK Area Support Services, (TASS) will be full of festive spirit on Saturday, November 29, as it holds its Christmas fair at The Anchorage Centre, next to the bus station.

On sale will be good quality Christmas presents, tree decorations, books and music for the festive season, and cakes.

Fundraiser Bryan Podmore said: 'This year's fair will have a wonderful selection of goods for everyone. On our 'presents' table we have gifts for all ages as well as Christmas decorations selling from £1.50, plus many more quality goods.

'Be early for these treats – once they've gone, they've gone!'

There will be a welcome return for the TASS 'masterchef' cake-makers who, as well as baking traditional fruit-laden Christmas cakes, will also have treats such as chocolate fudge, and wonderful Welshcakes. The centre-piece of this stall will be the 'very-naughty' chocolate on chocolate cake that will be raffled on the day of the fair for just £1 a ticket.

The 'fun' day at the fair will include tombola, name the dog, and the big Christmas raffle. Children's tombola will have guaranteed prizes.

Doors open from 10am to 3pm and admission of £1 will include tea/coffee and a mince pie.

TASS is a local charity that supports the elderly, the socially isolated and those with mobility problems in Tavistock and the surrounding villages. It re-cycles all money raised at the event for the benefit of local people.
