Captains' Charity 2018
This year's Captains' charity is the Devon Air Ambulance Trust and there will be an extra contribution to the final tally from a special, one-off event. Member, Valerie Prall has had her very long hair cut short and she expects to earn a substantial amount from the large number of willing sponsors who signed up. The hair itself will be sold to Banbury Postiche, a professional wig making company and all proceeds will go to the charity.
On July 24th, Valerie and her hairdresser made the cut!

LADIES v GENTS
The Club's traditional end-of-season challenge took place on Sunday 17th September and the weather was fab-u-lous! It was a warm, sunny afternoon and everyone enjoyed the challenge of the game, the jocularity and the mock-rivalry between teams. The men won but the ladies put up a creditable fight.
The costume was based on a maritime theme.

CHARITY PAIRS 2017
On 20th August the annual Charity Pairs Competition took place in rather damp drizzly conditions. Undaunted, everyone climbed into their waterproofs and played a good game all round. The winners were Valerie Prall and Alan Gossett who received the cup from President Ken Short. In addition to the main event there was a cake competition that was won by Laura Stephens. Her very professional entry was then auctioned, the proceeds being added to the Captains' charity fund.
Afterwards there was a barbecue and a raffle - and then we ate the cake!
Over the year the Club has raised the magnificent sum of £915 and which was presented to the RNLI and very good time was had by all!
