September Duck Race, Book Give Away, new member Loraine, Beach clean/survey

Always a busy month with the White river Duck Race, organised by the Lions who share the profit with us. We will donate them to Dig Deep a ‘water’ charity working in Kenya. The weekend was spent at Lanlivery Rally giving away over 1000 books. At the cheese and wine evening and quiz in Libby & Alan’s cowshed, President Sandra welcomed Loraine Hoar as a linked member. We took part for the 22nd year in the Marine Conservation Society beach clean & survey, this year it was at Charlestown beach
