TORRIDGE District Council's Community Grants Scheme has kicked off with two awards to local groups. The Rydon Archers, based in Holsworthy, have definitely hit the target with an award of £260 from the scheme to help with the purchase of specialised archery equipment. Members of the club come from all over Torridge and span the generations with youngsters as young as 11 being taught by octogenarian coach Phyllis Griffiths. Villagers at Littleham also applied for and have received a Community Grant. Doug Hamilton - Chairman of the Littleham Village Hall & Rangefield Charity - said the money would be used towards building a safe playground for children in the village playing field, which currently has no facilities for youngsters. A cheque for £2000 was presented by Torridge District Councillor Phil Pennington (Monkleigh & Littleham).For more information on Torridge's Community Grants Scheme, please call the Community Development Team on 01237 428871.
