AUSTINS department store has donated an extremely generous raffle prize to the Mid Devon Advertiser’s Macmillan Coffee Morning appeal.

Our event takes place on Thursday October 6 from 11am.

Before then, you can pop in to our offices at 47 Courtenay Street and snap up tickets to be in with a chance of winning our star prize.

Austins beauty hall manager Sharon Lobley put together the gift-wrapped prize of Chanel products, for men and woman, valued at more than £350.

The store is also a long time supporter of Macmillan and will soon be handing over the proceeds of its Summer Solstice event held in June.

A November cosmetics and fragrance Voulez Vous Sparkle evening is being lined up with live music from an Abba tribute act.

The impressive gift is on display at our offices during opening hours, please come along to meet us and buy tickets which are on sale at £5 a strip.

We have other raffle prizes for £1 a strip which include a handcrafted chocolate heart.

Our coffee morning is being held to support Macmillan which helps people living with cancer and their families throughout Teignbridge.

And you can pick up a copy of one of our titles – the Mid Devon Advertiser, Teignmouth Post and Dawlish Gazette – at the same time.

We will also have a selection of cakes and biscuits and drinks on sale too.

Our baking skills, or not, can be put to the test with your help.
