Following his recent illness, the Devon Gaffers have been without a Secretary. Elspeth Macfarlane and Meloney Webber have been trying to arrange some winter social events before the sailing activities begin so people don't lose touch.

A small but select gathering was held at Turtley Corn Mill near Avonwick where members enjoyed chatting and looking at photographs (and sampling the good selection of local real ales!).

One of members, John Scott, is giving a talk on Traditional Sailing Craft at the Royal Dart Yacht Club in Kingswear (just across the river from Dartmouth) on 1st March. He has given this talk to other groups who all say they found it interesting and enjoyable. This will be followed by a light supper.

Our Fitting-out Supper on 23rd March will be at Turtley Corn Mill. This is just off the A38 between South Brent and Avonwick so should be convenient for members coming from all directions. We have eaten there and found the food and surroundings to be as excellent as the beer.

We are keen to have as many people as possible at these events, so if you are interested please contact us by phone or email: 01548 857559 or 01548 844262, devongaffer@yahoo.co.uk mailto:devongaffer@yahoo.co.uk.
