FINALS WEEKEND 2018
CAPTAINS' CHARITY 2018
Charity Pairs
This year's Captains' charity is the Devon Air Ambulance Trust. The main money raising event is the annual Charity Pairs Competition which contributes the entrance money and the proceeds of a raffle. This donation is augmented by the proceeds of two concerts, held on the Old Fish Quay, by the Deja Vu swing band and this year, there was an additional contribution from a special, one-off event. On July 24th, member Val Prall had her very long hair cut short and earned a substantial amount from the large number of willing sponsors who signed up. The hair itself was sold to Banbury Postiche, a professional wig making company, and all proceeds went into to the charity fund. Altogether, the grand total was £1011. To this was added a further £60 by Jenny Allen who held an open day in October at the Toll House, her beautifully restored home that stands at the entrance to the town.
The Charity Pairs was followed by an excellent tea prepared by the catering team and the money was presented to Graham Gordon of the Devon Air Ambulance Trust who told us about some of the lives the ambulance had saved; a sobering tale but one that left us with the thought that we had done something valuable and worthwhile.
The winners of the competition were the husband and wife team of John and Wendy Mills-Ramage. The cheque and trophies were presented by Club President Maurice Giles.

LADIES v GENTS 2017
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.
