Chairman of the Regatta and Carnival Committee, Teresa Evemy, said,
“We have had a very successful year organising six events as well as the eighty events during Regatta and Carnival Week. We have been able to respond to requests from local good causes and have been able to include several new ones this year.
We have now been able to donate locally over £60,000 in the last ten years.
My committee and I have worked hard to minimise the costs of our events and have tried to make them accessible to as many people as possible.
Once again we are indebted to local businesses who so have supported us and to the many people from Lyme who have helped us with events and collections. We are already enthusiastically planning next year’s events but sadly our committee numbers are dwindling – there are only six of us left – and we really could do with some help next year. If you can help please contact secretary Alan Vian.”
