Doing the Rounds

As the Civic year moves into autumn my colleagues throughout Devon hold formal Services and functions and welcome fellow Civic heads to join the proceedings. It is a pleasure to visit friends in this lovely County of Devon and we are always given a wonderful welcome and hospitality. We recently travelled to Dartmouth to join Cllr. Melvyn Stone and South Hams District Council at St.Saviour's Church. Following the service we were taken to the impressive Dartmouth Apprentice project where young people learn skills and confidence to run a professional restaurant service in a superbly converted Church building.


Our next visit was at the invitation of the Mayor of West Devon Borough Council, Cllr. Alison Clish-Green to her Civic Service held at the magnificent St. Eustachius Parish Church, in the lovely moorland town of Tavistock. Pupils from the Choir of the famous Kelly College sang the anthem "The Heavens are Telling" from Hayden's Creation - a tricky Choral piece which they performed with confidence.
