Our annual boat cruise this year was a fantastic success. We headed off along the coast, calling into the Dawlish bays before heading down toTeignmouth docks, rocking to the music of The Bailjumpers.
Overall we raised a splendid £1306.70 for our charity, for which we thank you.
Put the date in your diary for our next years cruise, which will be on Saturday 11th July, 2020. The theme for the fancy dress will be pirates, rogues and vagabonds.
Look out for more details nearer the date.
