The 17th 'Post' Gala night in aid of the Children's Hospice South-West takes place at Penstowe Leisure Suite, Kilkhampton, on Friday, February 8, at 7.30pm. A top class comedian, an extremely popular local singer, and a very entertaining musical duo from Bude are on the bill. See next week's Cornish & Devon Series for a special feature on the gala. It's you, the readers, who deserve the credit for helping us to raise £109,000 for the hospice which is now planning a new building in Cornwall to help children with life limiting illnesses and their families. Tickets at £5 each are selling quickly. Ticket hotline at the 'Post' is Bill Roberts on 01566 778215 or Sue West on 01566 778200. Why not get up a coach or minibus from your town, village, or organisation?
