TEN months ago Alice Smith was chosen as a member of Devon Scouts going to the World Jamboree in South Korea next year, and is fundraising for the trip.

A member of 1st Tedburn and Cheriton Scout Group, Alice has held two Big Breakfasts, one at Cheriton Bishop and one at Drewsteignton and is running another with a book sale at Crofters Mead, the Scout Hut at Cheriton Bishop.

This will be on Saturday, October 15 from 10am to 4pm.

It is in partnership with Persis Bower who has run most of the book sales at Cheriton for at least 40 years.  Her granddaughter, Alice Bower, is also going to the Jamboree with the Norfolk Scouts and fundraising.

If you have books to contribute to the sale, please contact 01647 24303.

Persis said how she has seen reading habits change but people still very much relish books.  There is car parking at Crofters Mead.
