TWO Sidmouth Market stallholders have handed a �500 cheque to the Lord Mayor of Exeter to help disabled people fulfil their dreams.

Wendy Taylor and her daughter-in-law Judith, who run the fish and fruit and vegetable stalls at Market Place, won second prize in Sidmouth Lions' corporate duck race recently.

On Monday afternoon they handed over the cheque to Councillor John Winterbottom when he visited the market with his wife Joell, for his chosen charity, Dream-A-Way, which helps provide people in the South West with disabilities to take holidays or day trips.

Wendy said: "He and his wife Joell came in their regalia in a stretched limousine, which people were looking at."

A friend of Dream-A-Way trustee and events co-ordinator Gill Freeman, Wendy knew about the charity through Gill and because it was her golf club's chosen charity last year.

"The charity gives holidays and special treats to people with severe disabilities and makes their dreams come true," she said.

"It is a local charity and every penny goes to the charity."

Gill said: "We are absolutely delighted that Wendy has given us the �500 they won and it will be put to good use.

"When we mentioned this to the Lord Mayor he readily accepted an invitation to attend the market and receive the money from Wendy and Judith.
