 Hello, I’m Lauren Henley, I’m twenty years old and I live in the Torbay area. I have a strong interest in news reporting and interacting with the general public. I am a keen fashion and beauty follower, always on the lookout for creative ways to keep style individual yet on trend. In In terms of fun things to do for the younger people of Torbay, they are far and few between however, Torquay is renowned for having a good nightlife with a combined number of over 20 popular night spots. Favoured by students and locals alike, cheap drink promotions are on offer everywhere. Mambo Torquay for example gives Punters a buy one get on free deal on all drinks before midnight and free entry, as does Park lane situated just metres away by Torquay harbour.
If drinking just isn’t your thing, AMF bowling alley is just up the road with 16 lanes, a restaurant, bar and laser quaze room for the slightly more adventurous. Paignton zoo is just a short drive away from Torquay, world famous it plays host to some of the world’s most endangered animals and is a fantastic day out!.

 Boxing Day splash.
Over 10,000 people braved the cold weather to raise money for a good cause this boxing day. The charity in question being Royal national lifeboat institute, who sadly have had all funding cut by the government. This has caused outrage in the local area with residents of Brixham and Torbay protesting against the government’s decision to scrap The lifeboats, a vital life saver in the sometimes treacherous water conditions surrounding Torbay.
Paul Henley (pictured above) took part in the charity swim and raised over £400, armed with only a pink Tutu, skimpy bra and pink glittery wig, he took the plunge alongside 1,000’s of others into the freezing December water on Teignmouth beach. “ It was a pleasant surprise to witness the sheer volume of people willing to raise money for this troubled charity, not as appreciated as other big charities, the work the rnli do is vital to the safety of regular sea-goers and tourists alike. Despite the freezing cold, it was a great laugh and a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together to support an amazing organisation”.
