MAY I express our sincere gratitude to Tavistock Chamber of Commerce for arranging for our school-children to switch on the town's Christmas lights on Dickensian Evening.

We are most grateful, too, to all who contributed to St Peter's appeal – in two hours over £400 was very generously given towards improving the St Peter's building.
