The sun shone. Tars paddled at Lyme Regis. There was a lot of food for lunch.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the play reading (Christmas Signals will reveal all)

John Strickland’s quizzes were hard. Yvonne and Gill won.

Thanks to Susan and the Gouldbourne family for a lovely day.

Dartmoor Expedition 25th July 2011

Despite disappointing cloudy weather this was otherwise another great day, with 26 Tars and visitors of from aged 8 to 80 present. No less than 16 of these took part in the Strickland  yomp - and.....survived! Base camp was centred around a mini-gazebo with imaginary en-suite facilities.

This was a great day out courtesy of
