Successful meal ends a successful year

Bishopsteignton Probus Club celebrated Christmas and a highly successful year when club members and their wives enjoyed a delicious three course lunch at the Cockhaven Arms in Bishopsteignton. The seating arrangement, Christmas decorations, exceptionally good quality food, drink and service created a wonderful environment for members to socialise, relax and reflect on a highly successful year in which the club members had enjoyed many excellent presentations by a variety of professional speakers, a programme of social gatherings in the summer, trips and meals.

The club treasurer Tony Corlett and press officer Dr Nigel Darby and their wives suffered from a virus affecting several people in the village, so did not attend but the supportive staff at the Cockhaven Arms looked after them by providing takeaway Christmas meals which were much appreciated !
