Reunion Part 2

Sunday evening commenced with a sociable cabin party before proceeding to the dining hall for the evenings entertainment. Food was laid out in the form of a delicious hot and cold buffet with copious amounts of both. Hot consisted of a homemade lasagna, chicken curry and a vegetable curry. The cold option was a large selection of cooked meats, quiche and salad. The deserts consisted of a large range of puddings, including summer pudding, profiteroles, chocolate and caramel tart, lemon meringue pie and many others as well as the traditional cheese and biscuits.
Once everyone was fully sated the entertainment commenced. This was provided by Jason Toft who sang and played keyboard from his repertoire. Asking for requests, he was soon inundated and played for over two hours with songs from Kenny Rodgers to the Troggs and more modern songs from The Beautiful South and The Black Eyed Peas. This was followed by dancing to music provided by Johnny Morgan.

This was my first experience of the Area 4 Reunion and I can highly recommend it as a very sociable and entertaining weekend. I was glad to hear that the hotel is booked for the first weekend in March for the next two years. Looking forward to next year when hopefully we won't have the disruption of the weather and there will be a few more there.

Area 4 Reunion

This years reunion, held at the Durrant house hotel Bideford, didn’t escape the ravages of the ‘Beast from the East’ with a large number of the contingent unable to travel due to the snow.
More people managed to arrive on the Saturday and the schedule was rearranged to allow the traditional activities to take place with maximum participants.
Saturdays formal dinner was a great success with Commodore Peter Tribe as the guest of honour. The food and service was excellent and music for dancing was provided by Johnny Morgan.
Sunday mornings church service was followed by the sods opera. Portland provided entertainment in the form of songs and costumes from the 1970s. As the only act, they were awarded the Tremblett cup.
The sods opera was followed by the quiz, which was set and presented by the Helston branch. Despite our best efforts, Liskeard were the winners and will be setting the questions for next year.
After a very pleasant Sunday lunch the draw for the bottle of pussers rum took place as well as the bottle draw. Liskeard were fortunate to win two bottles with the other 28 evenly distributed around the room.
Now looking forward to this evenings entertainment.
