THE sports and social committee of Camelford Conservative Club held their cheque awards at the conservative club recently.

The committee presented two cheques of £1,000 each, with one to the Camelford branch of Cancer Research UK and the other to the Friends of Lanteglos Church, Camelford.

Churchwarden at Lanteglos Church, Mary Pearce, collected the cheque on behalf of the church while chairman Pam Boundy picked up the cheque for the Camelford branch of Cancer Research UK.

Over the past 30 years the club has donated a total of £18,513 to the Camelford branch of Cancer Research as a result of their annual harvest auctions, with a similar amount donated to various other charities.
