Golden hello from Martha

A CARboot sale at Chew Stoke primary School was a huge success, raising £600 towards the cost of a new playground.

Greeting everyone was Martha, a two-year-old Goldendoodle, who is the school’s official comforting and reading dog, looked after by the school’s headmaster, Ben Hewett.

Mr. Hewett, said: “For the first time in over a year it was fantastic to see the parents, children and the local community at a PTA event on the school grounds.”

Tea event supports veterans

PAULTONRovers Football Club’s monthly charity afternoon tea event raised more than £550 towards a charity walk for the Rifles Charities – Care for Casualties.

The walk is being undertaken by local veteran Paul Thorner and Paulton councillor Grant Johnson this September along Dorset’s Jurassic coast.

Councillor Johnson said: “We can’t do enough for those veterans that suffer with PTSD and Paul and Sharon Thorner are an inspiration for raising so much awareness.”

Paul said: “We wouldn’t have had such a brilliant afternoon raising money without the support of the Afternoon Tea team. Sarah Delaney, her sister Angela and mother Jean do such a fantastic spread.

“Plus a special mention for all those that made cakes, including Debbie Always who works behind the bar at Paulton Rovers. We also had Caroline and my wife Sharon who sold all the raffle tickets, and finally Paulton Rovers for hosting these great community events.”

The Afternoon Tea events are held on the second Tuesday of each month, with the next one on July 13th raising money for Blood Bikes.
