EXETER BRANCH
Secretary Shipmate Carol Walters

Six members and five guest from the branch visited the Falmouth Maritime Exhibition on the 18th September. We departed from Exeter at about 0930hrs, in a mini bus piloted by the branch Chairman Shipmate Tony Milliner and navigated by the Assist Secretary Carol Walters.On our return we called in on the RNA at Liskeard arriving at about 1830hrs.
We were met by the Chairman Shipmate Roger Grace and Vice Chairman Shipmate Gordon Strudwick and Nancy and some branch members.
The branch was able to purchase meal at a reasonable cost. The meals were excellent, I would recommend any branch that is visiting any sites in Cornwall to call in on the RNA at Liskeard.
We departed from Liskeard at about 2030hrs and returned to Exeter. After an excellent day out.
