With Foxes Hotel still closed for the school holidays on the date of our first September meeting, Geoff and Linda Dibble arranged a Treasure Hunt for Monday 1st September and four carloads of hunters set off from West Somerset College for an adventurous drive around Exmoor.
It was a very well thought out challenge and great fun to take part in. We all arrived at the final destination, The Bittescombe Inn at Upton, earlier than expected (and ahead of the adjudicators Geoff and Linda!) where we enjoyed delicious lasagnes and desserts to round off the evening.
Thanks to Geoff and Linda for arranging it - we’re looking forward to the next one! 

We took up our regular spot at this annual event and the weather was kind to us - always a relief!
Thank you to the number of members who came along to meet and chat with passers-by and oversee the running of the Find-a-Fiver board (many thanks Richard Williams, as ever) and our recently-introduced Spin-the-Wheel game (thanks Mollie). Both contributed more funds to support our activities in West Somerset.
Both footfall and the number of stands seemed down on the past couple of years - a sign of people having to tighten their belts perhaps? However, we met a good number of people, visitors and locals, who now know a bit more about Rotary!

Our Boules team (which included a number of members of Rtn John Baker's family) pulled off a resounding victory in our Boules re-match on Monday 28th July.
We were invited to join Taunton Vale Rotary Club at the Farmers Arms near Taunton for a rematch following our defeat when they visited us at the Luttrell Arms in Dunster last Summer.
It was a display of sporting prowess of the highest order. To be honest I don’t really understand the scoring but the scores were totted up by a member of the Taunton Vale club so I have no reason to doubt the result
