King’s Teignton Ram Roasting Fair donates £3,900 to local groups

At the Annual General Meeting the organisers of the Ram Roasting Fair distributed £3,900 from the proceeds of this year’s Fair to thirteen local groups.  The nominated groups provided volunteers to set up the stalls, manned the hoopla and coconut shy, litter picked, organised the children’s sports, provided the PA, manned the gates and sold raffle tickets at the Fair.  Without this valued help the Fair couldn’t proceed.

Those receiving donations were:

1st Newton Abbot (Kingsteignton) Sea Scouts, 1st Kingsteignton Guides and Rangers, Kingsteignton Athletic Football Club, Kingsteignton Community Baptist Church, Kingsteignton Senior Citizens Club, Kingsteignton Swimming Pool, Kingsteignton Tennis Club, Kingsteignton Twinning Association, Torbay Hospital Radio, Armed Forces Bikers Charity, Forget Me Not Bereavement Group, St Michael’s Church, Kingsteignton Athletic Youth Football Team.

The committee would also like to take this opportunity to thank individual members of the public who year on year volunteer at the Fair.
