Congratulations to all the award winners last night at our Annual Dinner. The Portmore Golf Park at Barnstaple provided a lovely venue, a super meal and couldn't have been more helpful. Our guest speaker auctioneer Russell Steer gave a very amusing and interesting talk to the 80 members and friends present. Many thanks to Jan Witheridge and Terri Borough for doing such a great job selling the draw tickets which raised £256.
