1. Sailor Lizzie
gets her buoy in Dartmouth
Transatlantic sailor Lizzie (Worledge)
married Parish Director of Music Christopher Helyer in South
Africa in July.
The wedding took place in All
Saints’ Anglican Church, in Jubisa Location in the Eastern
Cape, which has become Christopher's second home since he
established The Mayenziwe Project in 2006 to support local
schools in the area.
Last Sunday the couple affirmed their marriage vows in St
Saviour's Church in front of their Dartmouth friends and
relations.
Both Christopher and Lizzie wore
the traditional outfits in which they had been married and
many guests entered into the spirit of the occasion and
turned out in African dress. Congratulations Christopher and
Lizzie! |

Dartmouth in print again!
The Dartmouth dot TV crew rarely
buy boat magazines, their 21 year old Boston Whaler is just
fine for messing about on the river. However "Motor
Boat" available in almost any news agent has, as usual, more
than one reference to Dartmouth!
Page 34: "We stayed in the
river, which with its steep, oak-clad banks and general air
of summery activity was at its very best. An excellent
family dinner at the Dartmouth Arms was followed by a
comfortable night alongside the visitors pontoon."
Page 60: "One of England's
finest rivers, the Dart is often the first destination on a
West Country Cruise. Dartmouth's magnificent natural
Harbour makes you gasp as you come in past the castle and
see the colourful town stacked up the hillside." |

The Dartmouth Food
Festival web site has had a big update,
click
here to see it.

From Brian Parker:
The Tornado photograph in last week's news is pure
Hornby Dublo. The man and child are obviously plastic
but well done. Very clever of the modeller to have open
doors to the carriages. Nice touch too for the different
tones to the track ballast. Vegetation could be better
done ...
Just goes to show that, if you take a picture of a very
clean steam locomotive from the angle at which models
are viewed, then it looks like a model!
