MEMBERS of the Crediton branch of the Central Devon Conservatives and friends enjoyed a pre-Christmas get-together.

Guest speaker was Mel Stride, MP for Central Devon.

Lunch was enjoyed by those who attended and more than £200 was raised for Central Devon Conservatives.

Following the event, Mr Stride said: “It was really good to catch up with so many local people at the Crediton pre-Christmas event.

"We discussed a huge variety of political topics. Everything from Brexit to Syria to the state of local country roads. All useful feedback for my work in Westminster.”
