Suzie Paton & Philippa Spackman- Regional Officers, South West England

Well, 2010 is very nearly upon us, so as you settle down for a well earned Christmas break after another successful year of shows, events and awareness raising here in the south west please remember that it all starts again very, very soon!

Devon leads the way with the fourth annual Burns Night on 22nd January, followed by members of the committee hosting a series of local farmhouse breakfasts at the end of January. There will be two major cathedral services of thanksgiving, at Exeter and Truro cathedrals, and we mustn't forget the 150 years of farming spectacular at the Bath & West Show and the national Anniversary Challenge in Dorset.

Thank you to all of the hard working committee members and other supporters across the region who have done so much to help RABI this difficult year. The south west remains one of the top regions in terms of beneficiary numbers and it is only through your continued efforts that RABI can continue to help those families in need.
