No meeting in August as we had the Annual outing.

This year again it took the form of a mystery trip, organised by our president Verna Dawe. How ever hard we tried to find out the destination, lips remained tightly sealed. The day dawned bright with a hint of rain, so sun hats and umbrellas were taken, just in case. Destination unknown, but lots of guesses as we crossed the bridge into Devon. Well, all was revealed. Torre Abbey, Torquay, what a delight . Very few of us had been there before or even heard of it. Founded in 1196 by the Premonstratensian Canons. By 1536 the Abbeys annual income made it one of the wealthiest in the country. The canons surrendered to King Henrys commission in 1539, and a lot of the Abbey was destroyed.

After a succession of owners it came into the passion of the Cory family. Lots of improvements followed, eventually becoming a very grand Georgian House. In 1930 it was bought by Torquay City Council.

Lots to see including art exhibitions, Mechanical Marvels automata exhibition, and the gardens. A very enjoyable afternoon and certainly worth a visit.

The afternoon finished with a visit to Paignton and a fish and chip supper. Thanks were expressed to Verna for organising a lovely day.

We celebrated three birthdays this month, Frances Tucker, Cherry Woodhouse and Mary Yates.

We were reminded of the Horticultural show on Saturday, September 13, at 2.15pm at Millennium House, Cream teas and cakes, raffle. Free entry.
