DOZENS of children took part in the Tavistock and areas inter-Schools Swimming Gala, which was organised by Sheila Radgick, Tavistock Swimming Club, Meadowlands and West Devon Borough Council.

Held at Meadowlands Leisure pool in Tavistock, eight primary schools from the area took part.

The most sporting team with the best team spirit on the day was Gulworthy School who won the fair play award.

Winner of the large schools section was Tavistock with Whitchurch coming second and St Andrew's third.

In the small schools category, Mary Tavy and Brentor came first, Lamerton coming second, and Milton Abbot third.

The event was a great success due to the excellent work from the Tavistock Swimming Club volunteers.
