1.    Town Day

1.   Town Day

Rain didn't stop play for today's Dartmouth Community College Town Day.  In fact there were more people there than many events held in the sun!  The variety of stands was amazing, and if it hadn't been tipping it down just as we were there, we would have feasted on the home made cakes and listened for longer to the music played by students of the college.

2.     BRNC Cocktail Party

The yearly Britannia Royal Naval College Cocktail Party went off smoothly with 100s enjoying the great hospitality offered by Commodore Martin Alabaster.  BRNC is the largest employer of Dartmouth people and the officers, staff, and parents spend an awful lot of money in Dartmouth.  But we must never forget their real purpose; at an open day a few years ago, a local personality asked about war, the Commander at the time, took a deep breath, stretched himself to his full height, and slowly and clearly said "we train our officers to fight wars.....  and to win"  applause burst out and we all felt very humble.  BRNC is known worldwide as 'the' Naval Training College and many foreign governments are sending their key students to be trained here.

6.    Candlelit Dartmouth

More than 60 people from Dartmouth's businesses crowded into the Yacht Club on Monday to hear Steve Thomas talk about the Chamber of Trade's Candlelit Dartmouth.  It is very important for every business to help, drop into Baxter's on Foss Street and have a chat with Sarah?
