A CONKER tournament in Taunton's Longrun Meadow raised nearly £100 to help tackle poverty.

Winner Verity Lodge was presented with two cinema tickets, while runner up Michael Sebire received a box of chocolates in the Taunton Oxfam fundraising group event.

The annual event is arranged by conker supremo Harvey Lodge and the Oxfam group aims to run a different fundraising event each month.

Anyone interested in helping with the group can contact Mike McGuffie on 07591-505572 or see the Facebook page.
