THE next Taste and See gathering takes place in the Terrace Restaurant, Tavistock, on Tuesday March 20 at 7pm for 7.30pm.

The speaker will be Janet May, a church relationship officer for Tearfund, the Christian development charity. Janet was brought up in South Africa and worked with animals, including managing the South African equivalent of the RSPCA.

She is currently working throughout the South West for Tearfund.

Janet has had quite an interesting life to date —much of it has not been easy hence the title of her talk, 'Overcoming Adversity' .

All women of any age are welcome. Tickets can be purchased from Georgina's pet shop — 01822  617277. The evening costs £10 with a two-course meal and a vegetarian option.

Taste and See is organised by a committee representing the churches in the Tavistock area.
