1. Agatha
Christie at the Flavel
Dr Philip Charlesworth reports:
The next meeting of the
Dartmouth & Kingswear Society, on 5th December, at 7
for 7.30pm, in the Flavel, will be an illustrated talk by the
well-known local speaker, John Risdon, on Agatha Christie
- 'Her life in South Devon'. John is renowned for the
quality of his presentations and the topic will be of
absorbing interest to many. Our events are open free of charge
to friends of the Society and wine and soft drinks are
available before the formal start of the meeting.
2.
New York, New York!
Nothing worth watching on TV
on Tuesdays? So why not come along to St Clement’s Church Hall
on Townstal Road next Tuesday, 5th December at 7.00pm and hear
about Beryl Calder’s adventures in
New York and
Washington DC, USA.
Beryl, an ex-Mayor of Dartmouth and Honoured Citizen of the
Town, has gained a reputation as an excellent raconteur, and
will be sure to entertain you. Tickets are £5.00 on the door
and include light refreshments. Funds raised are in aid of St
Clement’s Church.

Christmas lights
  
This Saturday the Mayor of
Dartmouth, Cllr Iris Pritchard, switched on the town's
Christmas lights. Father Christmas (photo at the top of this
page) gave sweets donated by Dartmouth dot TV to the
appreciative children, the rest of us ate chestnuts and sang
carols, then went to the DA for a pint and a pizza.
4. Embankment
Restaurant
  
Congratulations to local artist, poet, writer
Joan Cawley on her 81st
birthday last week. Joan, who recently exhibited her
art at The Flavel particularly wanted to sample the delights
of The Embankment Restaurant. Paul gladly arranged a
window seat and a smashing time was had by all. Oh,
and the Lamb Wellington was as good as the Bread & Butter
Pudding served with Butterscotch sauce........
5.
Thanksgiving at The
Castle
 
Once again, the Dartmouth dot TV
crew joined many locals to celebrate Thanksgiving last
Thursday evening in the
Royal Castle Hotel,
remembering the town’s historic link to the Pilgrim Fathers,
who set out from Bayard’s Cove in 1620 to America.
We all tucked into a traditional meal including pumpkin
soup, turkey with cranberries, corn bread, green beans and
mashed sweet potato with marshmallow, followed by pecan pie.
Thanks must go to Terri and Gary Larsen, who started the
tradition of Thanksgiving Dinners in Dartmouth some seven
years ago, and also to Nigel Way and the staff at the Royal
Castle Hotel for making it a most enjoyable evening.

Memories of Dartmouth
Some of us can't
remember the days before College Way, but here it is in
1905. How do those house fit with today's Dartmouth?
