Successes
 

Fun on the Slopes - 20 April 2010 

 

Drake - Slopes Twenty two people turned for Sno-tubing and tobogganing at the Ski Centre Plymouth but there was no snow. In fact the weather was quite pleasant but fortunately everyone was ready to make the best of it.

 

We divided into two groups and with an enthusiastic crowd of supporters set about a half an hour of each of the activities. Each group found the Sno-tubing most tiring and, I believe, most exhilarating. Sitting in the tubes and sliding down the slope in twos, threes and fours, forwards, backwards and spinning there developed a competition to find ever more different ways to reach the bottom. 

 

By contrast, tobogganing seemed much more sedate – as long as the brake was kept on. Several people did keep the brake on at first, but by the fifth ride I am sure new records were being set for the fastest decent.

 

After an hour of very energetic activities (even for the spectators) it was enjoyable to exchange experiences over a drink and biscuits in the lounge. I am sure everyone enjoyed their time at the Ski Lodge and it was particularly pleasing to be thanked by everyone involved.

 


Lunch Cheque Presentation

Cheque Presentation80 members gathered on a wet Sunday for lunch at The Livermead Clilff Hotel, Torquay on 29th November.

 

As usual the food choice was extensive and good and the company was great!

 

Following the meal a cheque for £2,600 was presented to Jan Tyrrell, SW Area organiser for Diabetes UK. This brings the total to £7,600 raised by Drake Branch over the last two years for Diabetes UK.

 

A draw was held on the day, raising £160 for RNLI. All prizes given out were donated by the lunch guests.

 

When we departed the rain had stopped and we had a more comfortable journey home!
