1. HMS Somerset
comes to town!
Dartmouth welcomed HMS Somerset and
her crew with bright sunshine this afternoon (Friday). The Type
23 Frigate whose commanding officer is Commander Rob Wilson RN
is staying for the weekend and will be open to the public on
Sunday between 11.00am and 3.00pm (she leaves at 5.00pm Sunday).
Tickets are free and only available from the Dartmouth Tourist
Information Centre who say the limited numbers are already going
fast, so hurry down to Mayor's Avenue to reserve yours!
How about this? A rather unexpected side effect of a warship
arriving in the Dart has recently been reported to Dartmouth dot
TV: while their neighbour was on holiday, some local friends
were the keyholders in charge of an empty riverside house; as a
warship passed by, its radar and electronics set off the burglar
alarms alerting the alarm company who telephoned the friend.
Having checked out the property, they were asked "what set off
the alarms?" "A passing warship" replied the friend, "Oh yeah,
so what really set off the alarms?" came the cynical response! |

2. The
Chamber of Trade
The Dartmouth and District Chamber
of Trade recently had a networking meeting, over a glass of wine
or two in
Browns. How much better does this get? The Chamber are
fairly unique for a Dartmouth organisation as every meeting is
minuted and published in the public domain on their web site,
click here to
see it. The Chamber took on the Town Crier at their own
expense and have lively monthly meetings; if you are a local
business, why not come along to the next one? |

Dinner in Wildfire on 4th February. Champagne on arrival, four

Christian Dennis who is the Ambassador of Bollinger. My senior
team and I met him last March at Bollinger and he is a truly
entertaining man. He lives, breathes and loves everything there
is about Bollinger. At £35 per person you will probably
think that I have done a typo or gone mad. But it is true, it is
only £35. To book call 01803 837180

- Shirley Tonkin
reports: I was wondering if you could mention that
there is an exercise class for "Over 50s" run at the
Dartmouth Leisure Centre Wednesdays - 10.00am - 11.00am. ( A
lively class set to 60s music to raise heartbeat, tone and
stretch muscles.) I run the class and would love more
participants please.
