New Community Fayre for Tavistock


The Lions Club of Tavistock are organising a new fund raising event at Tavistock College on the afternoon of Saturday 27th April which it is hoped will attract many local groups to join together and raise funds for their own good causes.


Called the Tavistock Community Fayre, it will be open to charities, schools, clubs or groups which can attend with any type of fund raising activity or just a stall promoting their organisation. It will be a great opportunity to join with many other local organisations in one place for a common cause so those wishing to participate should e-mail Lion Janet Nowell on bobandjanet@talktalk.net or call 0845 8334807 for further details.


There will also be food outlets and a licensed bar run by


Tavistock Round Table as well as 12


live music and bouncy castles and inflatables for the children. Gates will open at 2pm and entrance will be free but there will be a small charge for car parking at a site further down Crowndale Road.


Also attending will be around twenty hot air balloons and their pilots and crew have agreed that during the afternoon they will talk to the spectators about ballooning and the equipment and hopefully organise some inflation competitions. As a grand finale to the Fayre and weather permitting, there will be a massed ascent of the balloons


starting around 6.30pm. The members of the Lions Club


of Tavistock are very keen to bring back ballooning to Tavistock as it has been such a popular and spectacular event but history has shown that its success is very weather dependant and a great deal of hard work can go into staging a fiesta with little return if the weather is against you.


Organising it this way, the main


event will be the Community Fayre and the balloons will be the “icing on the cake”.
