Keen cyclists from chartered accountants Francis Clark took to their bikes to raise money for charity by riding a relay across Devon and Cornwall.
Three teams made up of staff from the Exeter, Plymouth, Taunton, Torquay and Truro offices of the South West leading accountancy firm Francis Clark completed a gruelling relay cycling from Truro to Exeter to raise a total of £1,475 for four different charities.
The annual Inter-oOffice relay started from the Truro office where employees Darren Jasper, Adam Keogh, Richard Wadman, Nick Tippett and James West boarded bikes to cycle...

Come and celebrate our gorgeous English apples at an Apple Festival taking place in the quaint farming village of Stockleigh Pomeroy.
The Romans first brought the apple to the UK and thanks to them there are now over 1,200 native apples for eating, cooking, as well as for cider making and crab apples for pickling. They have enchanting names such as: Acklam Russets, Barnack Beauty, Nutmeg Pippin, Knobby Russet… and many more.
The Apple Festival will be a great day out for all the family. Activities on the day include:
One of the biologists whose work on cell systems won him the Nobel prize for Medicine thought he was the victim of a practical joke when first hearing the news. German-born Professor Thomas Sὔdhof, aged 57, said: “I thought at first it was a joke. I have lots of friends who might play these kinds of tricks.” Sὔdhof along with Randy Schekman, 64, and James Rothman, 62, won a share of the 8m Swedish Kroner prize (£776,000) for their work into the internal ‘cargo delivery’ in cells. The scientists worked independently at separate institutions on how ‘vesicles’, bubbles of fat, operate in...
The number of homes sold in the South West is at the highest level since February 2008 as the housing market recovery continues to gather pace, says the September RICS Residential Market Survey.
The average amount of properties sold per chartered surveyor in the three months to September reached 19*. Although still historically low, this figure is higher than the UK as a whole and demonstrates the extent to which the market is now picking up in the region.
In tandem with increasing numbers of sales, prices continued to grow in the South West with 46 percent more respondents...

Twenty people living in Tuckfield Close, representing over 50 per cent of the households in this cul de sac, gathered outside their homes on Sunday in the sunshine to discuss what could be done about problems caused there by excessive and inconsiderate car parking. Councillor Andy Hannan attended the meeting to note residents’ grievances and explain what Devon County Council might be able to do in response.
A major problem was caused by cars being parked on and near the corners at the junction with Rifford Road. This frequently made it unsafe for vehicles to turn out of the Close...
As part of the fantastic Exeter Phoenix autumn programme, Robin Ince came to visit.
The auditorium was packed, so it's a good thing the Phoenix staff came up trumps to offer an alternative solution when Ince's laptop died. As a fan of stand-up, I found it unusual that a laptop was a necessary part of the show, but Ince makes it so and does a marvellous job of using a slide show as a visual prop to his verbal material.
Ince starts by describing the crux of his show, talking about 'everything I love about the Universe'. He gets his first big laugh admitting that the show was...
