DELABOLE residents took part in a giant cream tea challenge; to serve as many possible whilst the Olympic Torch run took place over the weekend.

On Saturday afternoon (May 19) St John's Church and the Methodist church in Delabole joined together for the Great Gold Medal Cream Tea Party.

The churches in Cornwall were challenged to serve more cream teas during the The Torch Run in Cornwall than have ever been recorded in one day before.
