Taunton Round Table is thrilled to announce that their recent fundraising evening, held on Friday, 31st October 2025 at Taunton School, raised an incredible £19,000.
The event, sponsored by Misted Langdon, featured an entertaining speech from former international rugby union referee Nigel Owens MBE. The evening was attended by local supporters and community members who came together to raise vital funds for Love Musgrove and the ongoing work of Taunton Round Table.
Of the total funds raised, 75% will be donated to Love Musgrove, helping fund new projects, buildings and equipment. The remaining 25% will support Taunton Round Table’s own community-focused initiatives.
Chairman of Taunton Round Table, Andrew Milsted, expressed his gratitude and delight at the event’s success:
“We are absolutely overjoyed with the outcome of our fundraising evening. To raise £19,000 is a testament to the generosity of our community and the dedication of everyone involved. Love Musgrove provide an invaluable service, and we are proud to support their vital work. I’d also like to thank Nigel Owens for his inspiring contribution and everyone who came along to make the night so special.”
This milestone underscores Taunton Round Table’s commitment to making a positive difference in the local community.
With special thanks to headline sponsor, Milsted Langdon, supporting sponsors, South West Nissan Wellington, Porter Dodson and Stephens Scown, auctioneer Nick Girone-Maddocks of Gibbins Richards, and everyone who supported the night by giving so generously.

About Taunton Round Table
Taunton Round Table is a voluntary organisation for men aged 18-45, dedicated to making a difference through charitable events and initiatives that support local causes.
About Love Musgrove
Love Musgrove is Musgrove Park Hospital’s official charity. They raise money to fund new projects, buildings and equipment that make a difference for patients.
Some of our social events really do stand out. Last night On Your Bike – Taunton gave us a two-hour bike maintenance workshop.
The quality, professionalism, knowledge and friendliness of the staff was outstanding. What they don’t know about bikes really isn’t worth knowing!
By the end we were racing to see who could change a back tyre the quickest. Got it down to 7-minutes which wasn’t bad for a bunch of first-timers!
Did you know that they are a charity? Well-worth a visit if you ever need help with purchasing or maintaining your bike. Special thanks to Dereck (DC) and Shaun who made it a fantastic experience. Thank you for the goody bag!

Each year we auction a day of our members’ labour at our annual Speaker Evening event. After fetching £300 for the Lot at our 2024 event, the winner briefly mentioned he would have some brambles and branches to clear in Spring 2025.
Armed with rusty gardening tools and some questionable gloves, eight of us arrived only to look upon a small forrest. Undeterred by what lay ahead, we lathered on the sun lotion and bug spray.
Pictured below is a selection of images from the day (Saturday 10th May, 2025). Needless to say, a great time was had by all… followed by a refreshing and very well-deserved pint!!
Interested in bidding on this great-value Lot next year? Keep an eye on our upcoming Speaker Evening event!
