waste, a scheme is afoot to recycle the material from pre-loved duvet covers into reusable fabric shopping bags. If you request a bag in the Cancer Research Shop in Dartmouth you should be offered an environmentally friendly one for free - although a donation to the charity will be greatly appreciated. It has been estimated that 150 plastic bags per person are disposed of each year so anything individuals can do to reduce this quantity has to be worthwhile. And if you have any patterned
duvet covers that you no longer use, you could donate them to be recycled ... just contact Jan on 01803 752928 and she will be delighted to collect them from you. Our marine life deserves our protection.
After the Storm I am writing this in the calm and
quiet time that follows the storm of Regatta; most folk have had a good time but are quite glad to return to a less frantic village and town. Although the Regatta was somewhat reduced in scale this year, it was nonetheless a busy and noisy time for all, and whoopee was had. Kingswear had its Beerfest and the big tent down on the quay hosted jolly festivities – all good stuff, but I am picking up from odd conversations that many are glad to
see the new slimline Regatta; they didn’t miss the noisy air activity and at least we got one splendid firework display. Certainly the pressure on Kingswear parking and ferry transport didn’t seem as intense, so maybe this is the way to go in future. Thanks anyway to the stalwart folk who are on the Regatta committee and who work so bloomin’ hard for us all for so much of the year. They get little thanks I know, and whatever they do is criticised by some, but without these good folk Dartmouth would be a much duller place, so please know that some at least really appreciate your hard work.
Last Night of the Proms A bunch of Kingswierdoes set sail
from our fair shores on Saturday 8th September to experience a live showing of the Albert Hall’s Last Night of the Proms at The Flavel. They were well-organised and
supported by Sue Merotra from Ashleigh in the Banjo who brought across a table decoration straight from Hollywood; mind you nobody behind the Kingswear party could see the action so it had to be retired to the side, but not before the gallant party won the Best-Dressed Table Award. Much loud singing was done, much fizzy stuff was drunk and the manufactures of all
things red white and blue were able to retire, rich, to the Bahamas! For next year, if the event is
repeated, can we get an even bigger Kingswear turn-out to enjoy a lively and fun-filled evening.
FRoST QUIZ - April 2018 Sincere apologies to the quiz team
for their report not appearing before now. There must have been gremlins in the system, but better late than never!
48 quiz fans assembled in the vil- lage hall for the Brain of Kingswear 2018 prize quiz. They faced various questions on general knowledge, served up by Alan Payne, and some pictorial and music rounds de- vised by Mike Goodearl. Alan and Mike were most ably assisted by Satish‘Sats’ Charan on the tech- nical and audio/visual side of the questions, answers and digital score board. Sandwiches were prepared by Liz
Canham, Lis Godlee, Alison Crozier, Sally Nuttall, Jayne Rawlins and Melinda Smallwood with potato wedges kindly provided by Kevin and Michelle of The Ship Inn. After expenses, the ticket sales
raised about £600 and thanks must go to all the FRoST team for a most enjoyable evening.
