There's still time to enter the Michelmores 5k Charity Run, which takes place on Thursday 7 September, at 6.30pm.

For every £25 raised in sponsorship for Balloons, each runner will be entered into a prize draw to win a long weekend stay for up to six people at a luxury seaside cottage in St Ives.

Rumours about the lost mansion have persisted for many years, but no-one has been able to find where the building was located. All that remained of the mansion are designs by Wyatt for a building three times bigger than the current Killerton House, and a few surviving letters and...
RGB Building Supplies has reopened its Well Built Community Fund and is calling out to schools, charities and community groups to tell it about projects that have an autumnal theme for the chance to receive £1,000 worth of building materials.
