A glittering gala dinner to celebrate Tavistock Area Support Services’ fortieth anniversary raised £2,000 to help fund its vital services for elderly and disabled people in the Tavistock area.
Everyone enjoyed a meal at the Bedford Hotel and a live auction last Saturday (June 7) hosted by guest auctioneer and broadcaster David Fitzgerald.
The event included teenagers, Holly (of Mount Kelly College) and Sylvie and Poppy (of Plymouth High School for Girls), who sang solo numbers. Deb Morris, TASS general manager, opened the evening. Town mayor Cllr Steve Hipsey spoke about TASS achievements.
Guests included Vice Lord-Lieutenant of Devon, Rear Admiral Chris Snow and wife Helen, Sir Geoffrey Cox (MP), Tavistock Lions president Alan Wroath and his wife Anne and TASS volunteers and staff.
