From
The Mayor Firstly I would like
to wish you all a very Happy New Year, but what a start to 2010, the snow
and ice has caused so many problems, and I would like to thank the many
carers who have gone out of their way to visit the elderly, even if they
have not been their clients. The carers who have visited my dad, have
always had a cheery smile and a kind word, even though they might have
slipped many times and struggled driving to and fro, Your visits have
meant so much to all of them; thank You All. Now I would like to mention
two very special events that happened on the 12 December. The first a
fund raising coffee morning at the Town Hall, organised and run by The
Young Titans, they did an excellent job; they ran a draw, table top stalls
and made a lovely hot cup of tea or coffee, most of these youngsters belong
to the Streetz dance crew, and as soon as Amy put her music on, were going
through their dance routine's while trying to get people to part with
as much money as they could. You all did a fantastic job, and my sincere
thanks go to all the youngsters, Amy Sears and her adult members, and
Anne Tattersall for raising well over £400. We hear so much bad
press about youngsters today, but we in Great Torrington are lucky to
have so many caring and helpful youngsters, you are a credit to Great
Torrington. The 2nd event was a charity dinner and cabaret evening at
the Methodist Church. We were entertained by the fantastic Ashley and
Jess Withey, along with dad Len, and some other excellent local singers
and guitar players, all under the watchful eye of Jan Withey. We all enjoyed
a fantastic meal, and I would like to thank those who prepared it, and
the wonderful helpers who served us. The money raised, I believe, is to
go towards repair work on the front of the church, I sincerely wish you
well with the fund raising, and thank you all for a wonderful evening.
