MAY I through your pages say a big thank you to the following businesses for their support of the FSNBF National Car Wash on Saturday week.

Thanks to Safeway, Tavistock Service Station, Tavistock Domestic Supplies, Lawson?s and Kevin Cooper?s. Also the great number of motorists who brought their cars in to be washed, the firefighters for giving up their free time and my wife and Nathan for keeping us supplied with refreshments.

At the end of the day we raised the grand total of £359.39. Thank you all for making the day a success.
