THE popular Chagford Two Hills Race organised by Chagford Carnival will be the highlight of a fun day out for all the family on Monday, May 26. Keen runners will gather at Chagford War Memorial Playing Fields Pavilion for the annual moorland hill race, which starts at 11.30am. The challenging climb over Meldon and Nattadon Hills covers a distance of 3.45 miles, and the race attracts all ages with competitors being cheered along by family and friends. There will be a barbecue, refreshments, car boot sale and a bouncy castle all day. Entry forms for the race are available from Chagford Pharmacy and Webbers and Sons, or by phoning Charlotte Goodwin on 01647 432576.  Entry fees for 2014 are £9 for adults, or £5 for under 16s. Cheques should be made payable to Chagford Carnival Committee and sent with completed entry form to Charlotte Goodwin, 6 Bretteville Close, Chagford, Devon, TQ13 8DW. The Chagford Swimming Pool re-opens for the season on Saturday, May 24, with free entry on opening day and a free hot chocolate for all swimmers. There will be a barbecue, cakes and a raffle, and the pool will be open throughout the bank holiday weekend. Opened in 1934, Chagford Swimming Pool was dug by hand by local residents on land entrusted to the village by the Hayter-Hames family.  The largest freshwater swimming pool in the South West of England, the pool is fed by the mill leat, a small stream off the main river, which was originally diverted to power the waterwheel at Rushford Farm.
