Sunshine and Celebration for Addington in Cornwall
Jun 13, 2011 - 10:51 AM
Ian Bell welcomed over 250 guests to a reception at Royal Cornwall Show last week.
The sun shone for Addington as we welcomed over 250 guests to a BBQ and Drinks reception at Royal Cornwall Show to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. The reception was generously sponsored by Stephens Scown Solicitors and hosted by the Country Land and Business Association.
Friends and colleagues were welcomed by Phil Reed of Stephens Scown, and given a background to the Fund by Director Ian Bell. An exit collection raised over £1300 which will go directly to helping farming families in Cornwall through our new work/live project in Cornwall.
The project, which will see the construction of four affordable homes paired with workshop units will enable small business in the area to rent business premises, which may otherwise be out of their reach.

Celebration continued in the cattle lines as the Funds’ Guernsey heifer scooped first prize in the in-calf heifer classes, making it a hat-trick for the heifer at the South West shows. Raffle tickets where you have the chance to win the heifer, or £1,000 are now on sale priced £20.00. Please contact Laura Dickinson on 01926 620135 or email for more details.
