COFFEE, mince-pies and cakes certainly went down well last month at a cancer charity fundraiser held at Bere Alston Bowling Club.

Dee Dion, Chris Mitchell and Sandra Callaghan, with helpers, organised a coffee morning for Myeloma UK. Myeloma is a type of cancer arising from plasma cells which are found in the bone marrow.

The three, along with members of the Yelverton Rotary Club, women from the Tavistock branch of Slimming World and people from the village raised a splendid £1.132 for Myeloma UK.

Myeloma UK informs and supports people affected by myeloma and helps improve treatment and standards of care through research, education, campaigning and raising awareness,
