There was an experienced team on hand this Dickensian Evening at the Mansbridge Balment office in Tavistock. Former MD David Balment joined Jonny Mansell and Nick Henderson in selling roasted chestnuts, which was all part of the annual fundraising effort by Mansbridge Balment in aid of Polzeath Surf Life Saving Club.
The combined efforts, which included a huge prize draw and the sale of mulled wine, raised more than £1300 for the Cornish-based club with whom Tavistock has strong links.
David, Jonny and Nick were backed up by Mansbridge Balment colleagues, and the talented Tim Randell playing guitar and performing many songs from his repertoire.
“A huge thanks to all involved” said Nick, “there have been some very generous donations and the help from everyone has been quite humbling.”
