DARTMOOR Speed Shearers presented cheques totalling £6,000 to local charities at the King’s Arms in South Zeal. They donated £3,000 to Devon Air Ambulance, £2,000 to Throwleigh Parish Council for a parish defibrillator and £1,000 to South Tawton Parish Council, also for a parish defibrillator. The Shearers would like to thank all their sponsors for their generosity — particularly their main sponsor, Wayne Bird of Enchanted Beds Ltd.  Picture by Ian Snell
