Our AGM in November saw Nigel, John and I re-elected as your Devon Area Organisers. Remembering the adage from Jackie that if I am neither pregnant nor dead, I remain as AO, even the cushion stuffed up my jumper failed to fool our members. Moving swiftly on, we are delighted to continue and very much appreciate your continued faith in us! At the end of November, we once again travelled to the Waie Inn at Zeal Monachorum for our annual Inter Triumph Club Skittles match. Playing against the Stag Owners Club and the Dolomite Club and organized again by Claire from SOC. Our brave Irene H was once again the score keeper and this year the average scores were very close indeed. The winners once again were the SOC, with TSSC in second place and the Dolomite Club bringing up the rear. The top scorer was the SOC’s David Taylor (I’d like a bit of whatever he was on!), the Ladies’ top scorer was once again our own Sue Barlow, and the lowest score went to Val from the Dolomite Club. Followed by a great lunch again, then we made our way home. Only Triumphs out were a brace of Stags, but we accompanied Jane & Mark home with a brace of MX5s. For the first time, I offered to organize the Christmas Meal for not only TSSC, but also the Dolomite Club and the Stag Owners. This was following a number of suggestions from members of all three Clubs. We were rewarded with 67 people sitting down to a great meal, served very efficiently as usual for the Lodge, and many of us stayed overnight too. We welcomed Chewy & Tina from North Somerset, and Eric & Janet from Chard, as well as Graham & Karen from Cornwall, together with some new faces as well. A bonus was the very generously supported raffle, which raised a whopping £311 for Alzheimers Research. I have already booked the Lodge for Saturday 9 December 2023 so mark your diaries now!
