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.
