It is often said nothing is happening in Torbay for those who live here. Not true.

- DAVID GLEDHILL

It is a charge levelled often at our Community Builders, but luckily, they are best placed to prove the naysayers wrong. We have recently started including listings on our Torbay Communities website, where the Community Builders provide information on a range of things happening on their patch.

Just go to www.torbaycommunities.com/builders, find your local builder and you will be in for a surprise by the plethora and variety on offer.

Take Brixham, where Community Builder Helen Ambler has compiled a comprehensive list of just short of 100 things happening in the town across the week, covering everything from craft and friendship groups to rugby cubs and from pub gigs to Scrabble clubs. That is in addition to the one off events, like the recent Pirate Festival and VE Day celebrations or the up and coming St Marys Big Bowls weekend Sunday, May 25, from 10am when you can have a go and get free tuition.
