A LOCAL shooting group has presented £2,000 to Hospiscare to pay for two reclining chairs for the use of patients at the Exeter Hospice.

Poughill Shooting Club presented the money to Crediton Hospiscare Support Group member, Maggie Orasnjak at a memorial shoot held at New Buildings.

The event was the 10th memorial shoot held in memory of former member, Robbie Gale, who died of cancer in 1998.

Poughill Shooting Club Chairman, Pops Sweetland, and family member, Paul Gale, from Exeter, handed over the cheque.

The money was raised at a series of shoots held locally by the club.

Thanks have been expressed to a number of local sponsors, those who took part in the shoots and those who helped with the organisation of the events.
