The Cavaliers entertained the Mayfair crowds with thier version of "Thriller". The Zombies have been learning the dance for weeks, the synchronisation was "Thrilling"!!

Following numerous requests the Cavaliers are organising the second annual Scarecrow Competition which we will be running during the summer months. Last year over 170 people entered the competition bringing untold pleasure and fun not only to local people but also to visitors to Torrington and surrounding areas.

Again there will be three sections of entry, Private, Business and Schools and as last year people from surrounding parishes, i.e. Taddiport, Frithelstock, High Bullen, St Giles and Little Torrington will be more than welcome to participate.

Full details of the entry dates and how to enter will appear in next month’s Crier and on posters which will be displayed around various locations - so get your thinking caps on and plan the theme for your Scarecrow and lets see if we can beat last years splendid effort.

Keep you eye on the website!

After our AGM on 28th February there were a couple of changes to the management team:

Steve Blake stood down as secretary after several years in post. He was replaced by Nick Hallam

Mike Palmer stood down as Captain due to work comitments over the next 2 years. He has been replaced by Daren Nudds.

Both are worthy candidates and we are sure they will do an excellent job.

We were approached by the Bluecoat Children's Centre in Torrington to see if we could help create an 'outdoor learning environment' within their unused garden area. Funding was in place for most of the materials but they were extremely short of labour. It was a challenging project so naturally, the Cavaliers were happy to take it on!

We followed their plans to create a small track for toddler trikes; an area for water play; a base for the shed; a mound; an area for a interactive wall; and a screened off area for the kitchen. We were helped with the groundworks by Shaun Mitchell Plant Hire.

Our part of the project is now complete. The Centre is now waiting for some planting and turfing, and then it will be ready for use by the children and parents.

Thanks to all the Cavaliers, non-cavaliers and Shaun Mitchell for their help with this project.
