ON behalf of the Lions Club of Tavistock, may I pass on our sincere thanks to everyone in the town and surrounding area who contributed in making this year's carnival week such a success.

Helped by the superb weather throughout the week, all of the events, from the fun day in the Meadows to the fantastic procession on Saturday evening, were well supported.

Once all the monies raised during the week have been collected, we expect that this year's carnival will have been one of the most successful that the Lions Club have organised.

However, none of this would have been possible without the vital support of our sponsors and to them a huge thank you on behalf of everyone in the town.

We look forward to seeing you all again during next year's carnival, when the theme will be Nursery Rhymes. Don't forget, though, that the Lions Club, in association with Tavistock Round Table, will be putting on the spectacular Westcountry Balloon Fiesta and Day at the Races from August 24-25 at Tavistock College.
