Mark is finalist
in baking awards
MARK Duddridge from Ginsters in Callington has been chosen as a finalist in the Baking Industry Awards. The prestigious annual event takes place each year at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London, in front of an audience of 800 of Britain's top bakers, confectioners and manufacturing companies.
This year's event will take place on September 24 and Mark is a finalist in the Bakery Food Manufacturer of the Year category, sponsored by Allied Mills.
As a finalist Mark will be invited up onto the stage at the Grosvenor House to receive his certificate from celebrity presenter Angela Rippon - but Mark won't know until the night if he is the actual winner - in which case he will also receive a trophy and £500.
Mark and his chosen partner will be VIP guests at the awards, which are organised by the weekly trade magazine, British Baker. Mark will enjoy a champagne reception, five course dinner, comedy presented by Bobby Davro and the exciting Oscar style presentations. The whole evening will end with music and dancing with Mark celebrating his accolade and perhaps emerging as a triumphant winner in the Bakery Food Manufacturer of the Year.
Guest speaker
from Dartmoor

Bob Hope read the lesson, and hymns for the service were the choice of Howard Tamblyn.
Exhibition at
the Old School
A PENSIONER who has just completed a foundation course in art at Saltash College - and now has a place at the University of Exeter where she aims to obtain a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art - is holding an exhibition of around 60 her paintings at The Old School, Stoke Climsland.
Anne Gibbons, a grandmother in her sixties from Downderry, moved to Cornwall ten years ago and went to the Slade College of Art summer school, which encouraged her to take her work more seriously.
In her teens three of her watercolours had been exhibited in London's Royal Academy, while she later became a set designer.
Her exhibition, which varies from landscapes to abstracts, officially opens tonight (Friday) and will run until September 28.
