More than £1,000 is given away to help local good causes
Another successful Axmouth Village Show has enabled organisers to make donations of more than £1,000 to local causes.
Members of the committee presented a cheque for £500 to Graham Mather, chairman of the village hall committee towards repairs to the building which was recently reopened.
A similar amount was given to Sam Miller to help pay for the maintenance of the village playground.
Profits from last year’s show also enable the group to give £66 to Janet Stansfield to help maintain the village defibrillator and £33.93 to John Crowe towards plant maintenance for the little boat - Harwood – planted with flowers at Coronation Corner on the entrance to the village.
