The third annual Salcombe Crabfest took place on 6th May 2018 in glorious sunshine. Once again, The Fortescue Arms kindly offered Salcombe History Society space in their beer garden and Chairman Ken Prowse, ably assisted by Geoff Foale and Colin de la Mare, manned the stall, publicising the work of the Society. A variety of photographs and documents were on display for the many interested visitors.
The 8th Annual General Meeting of Salcombe History Society took place on Wednesday 14th March 2018 at Salcombe Rugby Club. Around 40 members attended to hear a summary of the Society’s activities over the past year. They were then treated to a talk and slideshow by Bob Hesketh on the theme of ‘Nostalgia’. It proved to be an amusing evening with members sharing their anecdotes of life in the 1950s and 1960s.
The Salcombe History Society Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday 14th March at 7pm (for prompt 7.30pm start) at Salcombe Rugby Club. After the business part of the meeting there will be a talk by Bob Trowbridge entitled “Nostalgia”. There will also be the opportunity to view the ‘Salcombe in the 1960s’ video which was shown at the last meeting.
