CAMELFORD Town Mayor, Rob Rotchell, is pictured above, cutting the cake, with encouragement from some of the newly elected Management Committee, at the launch of the Friends of Camelford Leisure Centre. The launch event was a great success, doubling membership to 100 residents from the town and surrounding area, all keen to see the leisure centre survive the immediate threat to its future and to improve the facilities in years to come. The next event that the Friends of Camelford Leisure Centre are supporting, and encouraging residents to participate in, is a sponsored 24-hour swimathon starting at 5pm tomorrow (Friday).
