Many thanks to Dartmouth Holiday Homes for sponsoring the prize money And to The Village Shop, the Post Of-
fice, The Ship Inn and the Steam Packet for selling ducks for this event.
Playground Just for information, the equip-
ment needed for the little children’s playground to be installed in Jubilee Park has been ordered and should be delivered in the next few weeks. It was hoped to cut the first sod at the Fun Day but tempus has fugitted as tempus sort of does and it could not happen.
Moorings After mentioning mooring availability
in previous editions of By the Dart, a number of people have come forward to take up mud moorings, which is great. Now there are just two or three left along Waterhead Creek on the Hoodown side. Please don’t ask for moorings at either of the pontoons or on the field because all those
moorings are taken up, with a waiting list of some length, unless of course you intend to live several lifetimes, in which case ...
Kingswear Rowing
Club The Olympic drinkers, ooops, I’m SO sorry, I mean the upright and stalwart members of Kingswear Rowing Club, which would be Royal if only the queen knew about it, have met in cabinet (The Ship) to organise a thrill- ing series of social events to scintillate the village during the coming dreary winter months. There will be model horse-racing, a superb folk/blues evening with the magnificent Maggie Duffy and friends who will fly over from downtown Brixham and will electrifying skit- tles and rowing evening, as long as someone remembers to put coins in the meter! And there will be all sorts of other brain-tingling goodies, so watch this page for an exotic way to fill-up

Big Sing I hesitate to use the ‘C’ word so early in
the year, and in such an august publi- cation, but I’m afraid it has to be done. I’m talking about Christmas; there, I’ve said it, and I may be struck down by lightning for mentioning it before the end of November which would only be right. However, on December 2nd at 5.30pm, the children from Kingswear School will be meeting at the station to sing carols, terrorise their teachers and wait for Father Christmas to arrive, hopefully at 6:00pm on the dot. They will then progress in a completely dis- orderly fashion over to the village hall to receive presents from the aforemen- tioned rubicund and seasonal chappie. Please come down to join in with this traditional bit of Kingswear silliness and lend your voices to the children’s trilling pipes and then drift along to the hall for a glass of minced wine and mulled pies. It’s a lovely start to the fes- tive season and the more the merrier.
