Pizza Night
Thanks to fran for organizing and arranging a superb evening at her home. Pizza was on the menu with side Salad, Ham, Cheese, Peppers, tomatoes etc. All beautifully laid up by our hostess. A selection of Pizza's were served hot from the oven two at a time so everyone could sample different tastes. To top the evening off Jan C had made a trifle fit for a king. ( See picture below.) After eating we adjourned to the garden for coffee and conversation. Before we knew it night had fallen and we all reluctantly went home. Not of course before helping with the clearing and washing up. A lovely night was had by all.
Anyone for Trifle.
Exeter V Plymouth
Annual Skittles Match
Thursday 18th June 2026
This was the 20th annual skittles match between the 2 clubs.
The prize, a little silver cup. Over the years Plymouth had won the cup 10 times and Exeter 9. Not that we are competitive of course. The point of the evening was to socialize with each other; after all we are Social Clubs.
Exeter club hosted the event at the Totnes Rugby Football Club and had arranged a hot and cold buffet which was superb, many members helping themselves to second helpings.
The match started and by the end of the 1st leg Exeter was ahead on points, by the end of the second leg Plymouth had taken the lead. Then we had food after which we started the third and final game. Exeter started out well enough but Plymouth was more consistent with their scoring and sadly Exeter could not match their determination to win.
Final Score Exeter 157 Plymouth 170
Well done Plymouth
The Dawlish Ditto Trail
" What are the ditto's I hear you ask?"
The ditto's are magical beings who live in these houses around dawlish. So nine intrepid explorers from Exeter IVC set out to see if we could find all their houses. We were supplied with a map of the town which indicated where you could find the houses so long as the dittos hadn't moved them. We were charged with finding all 77 houses.
As this is not a competition we could take our time so arranged coffee breaks and Sunday lunch at the Brunswick Arms. All in all a fun day out.
The Dittos were originally characters in bedtime stories created by David Hardie for his son. In 2021 after recovering from a serious illness, david passed the time in lockdown by carving miniature houses out of wood. Joined by his sister, Diana Townsend, the project blossomed into a community effort. Local businesses and volunteers helped install brackets, wiring, and solar lights. The trail now features 77 hand crafted houses hidden throughout Dawlish to promote local businesses and tourism.
