Friday 20th November and Saturday 21st November 2009

On Friday this formal function was restricted to members to open the new facilities: the lift, the toilets and the foyer.  The following day the function was repeated for invited guests.

Bernard Hughes (President) and Tony Christopher (Chairman) officiated, and the Blackmore Singers opened the proceedings with a spirited rendition of 'There's no business like show business' and 'Consider yourself at home'.  The Players then presented a short sketch by Alan Bennett, and the stage part of the evening ended with a sing along led by the Blackmore Singers.

On Friday, the tape across the lift was cut by Edwina Herbert, a past member now confined to a wheelchair and Laura Mulcahy, registered disabled, supported by the President.

On Saturday, two long standing members, Chris Cutting and Pam Vardy did the job with the Chairman of Devon County Council, John Berry, in support.
