THE first Crediton Cars and Coffee held on Crediton’s Town Square on Saturday, July 10, has been hailed an amazing success.

It included displays of a great assortment of vehicles and motorbikes, alongside a bumper raffle run by The Turning Tides Project.

Daniel Webb, from Crediton Coffee, said: “We had a fantastic attendance of display vehicles and the public which meant that our fundraising campaign for Devon Air Ambulance was successful.

“There are a lot of people that we would like to thank.”

He thanked all those who donated raffle prizes, including The Alley Cat of Crediton, alloy wheel specialists, who donated a £250 voucher.

He also thanked all those who took along vehicles plus local traders, Hat-A-Cakes, Baobab Cafe, The Three Little Pigs and Icicle Tricycle.

He thanked Crediton Town Council and Mid Devon District Council for the use of the Town Square.

He also thanked Dominic Palfreman, co-organiser of the Cars and Coffee event, of Subtle Automotive and The Turning Tides Project, for his help in organising the event.

Profits from the day, estimated to be more than £500, will go to Devon Air Ambulance.
