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.
