P 6 6 6 9 Air Air rpo port Par rking king Tip! Cruise holidays are very popular among our clients so we were excited to have Edward, our colleague from Regent Seven Seas, join us at our Travel Expo to tell all about their luxurious, all inclusive cruise programme. A key attraction is their inclusion of excursions in the package price... Regent offer FREE Unlimited Shore Excursions at every port-of-call in every destination — and unlimited means you can take as many excursions in a day and during your entire voyage as time and your penchant for adventure allows. Shore excursions are the heart of every destination, a way for you to experience the history, culture and cuisine of the exciting ports of call visited with knowledgeable local guides and comfortable transport. Cruise George Inlet and indulge in a taste of Alaska at a crab feast, walk the ancient pathways of Ephesus and Jerusalem or enjoy a trek through a tropical jungle in Phuket on a majestic elephant. All available to experience with Regent’s FREE Unlimited Shore Excursions. D stinat De ina ation Evening Evening wi wi it th Exodus After a busy summer (our feet still ache from our T Travel ravel Expo at the North Devon Show!) we stride into autumn with our next series of Destination evenings. They are scheduled for September 24th, October 29th and November 26th at Ilfracombe Golf Club - with hopes we’ll be able to add dates in the South Molton area as well (keep an eye out for updates). Ian will be with us on Thursday 24th September. As our returning guests Through Exodus you can discover countries, cultures, environments, cities, mountain ranges, deserts, coasts and jungles; exploring this amazing planet we all live on. But we often find that the ‘Meet ‘n Greet’ services are not much more expensive (and sometimes even the cheapest option). This is particularly true at our local airports of Bristol and Exeter where the rates fluctuate depending on demand, so for the added conveniance (especially in the rain!), bear it in mind! Make your holiday financially secure ATOL PACKAGES know, tickets for our destination events tend to be snapped up quickly – after all, it’s a great evening of cultural discussion, great food and a chance to rub shoulders with fellow travel enthusiasts. Our guest speaker for September is an expert in travel from Exodus, a tour operator that has become well known to several of our clients looking for a special trip that explores the soul of countries and their people. Airport parking is one of the things we arrange for our clients, but often the automatic assuption is that the most economic way to do it is in the most distant, long-stay car park and shuttle to the terminal. ATOL protects you from losing your money or being stranded abroad. It does this by carrying out checks on the tour operators and travel organisers it licenses, and requiring them to take part in a financial guarantee scheme managed by the Air Travel Trust (ATT) which provides the funds to protect customers should a firm fail. In some cases a licence holder will also provide a bond, which is lodged with the ATT and provides additional funds. If a tour operator goes out of business, the CAA will ensure you do not lose the money you paid over, or if you’re abroad, we’ll arrange for you to finish your holiday and fly home. When you book a package that includes a flight to or from the UK, we ATOL protect it. ABTA BONDING Tickets are £15 per person (incl. dinner and a welcome drink) - but if you’ve signed up to our new ‘Destination Club’ they’re just £10. If you still need to sign up (and access all the other benefits) just get in touch with our team, or visit the website. The Destination Lounge is a member of ABTA which means you have the benefit of ABTA’s assistance and Code of Conduct. Sounds great, but what does that mean to you? Essentially ABTA members pay a large amount of money to ABTA, who hold it in a bond, so if that company were to go bust, the funds are already secured to refund clients. www.thedestinationlounge.co.uk • ilfracombe@thedestinationlounge.co.uk FOCUS YOUR TRULY LOCAL COMMUNITY MAGAZINE PRODUCED IN ILFRACOMBE Ilfracombe Museum From the wonderful photo archives here at Ilfracombe Museum we have two pictures of a daring exploit undertaken between Ilfracombe and the Mumbles, Swansea, in 1930. We thought that a story about a sea-going adventure would be entirely appropriate for September, and the Sea Ilfracombe weekend. The top photo shows a young man being towed behind a speedboat, the ‘Whoopee’. You will notice that the photographer has unfortunately missed half the man out of his photograph, but the boat was travelling at quite a speed and it must have been a challenge to get everything in the shot! It is taken from Mumbles Pier. The second photo shows the occupants of the boat, again on Mumbles Pier. What has this got to do with Ilfracombe? The Ilfracombe Chronicle of 1st August 1930 gives a detailed report. A young man was towed across the Bristol Channel on a surf board, behind the ‘Whoopee’. His name was Captain Charles Ratcliff, and he was the owner of several speedboats that took thrill-seekers out into the Channel and to Lundy Island. No doubt partly as a publicity stunt, and perhaps as a dare, he decided to see if he could cross to the Mumbles whilst staying upright behind the boat. A crowd of spectators had gathered in Ilfracombe on Capstone and waved him off across choppy waters. Soon he was out of sight and making good progress towards the Mumbles. As he neared Mumbles lighthouse the boat encountered a strong tide and rough water, and Charles was only holding on with great difficulty. Once near the Pier the water calmed and the boat successfully docked at the Mumbles, in a time of 1 hour 20 minutes. On board was a press representative, Mr T Edwards, who wrote in the Chronicle that this ‘must have been the greatest feat ever performed on a surfboard’. After a short rest in Mumbles, including a photo call, the crew returned to Ilfracombe on the ‘Whoopee’. The photo shows: (back row) N Springwell of Penarth, T Edwards of the Chronicle, C Marston of the Pier Hotel; Bert Austin the helmsman, (front row): Clifford Comer attendant, Captain Charles Ratcliff, and Molly Harvey, passenger. The return journey to ‘Combe was even faster than the outward trip, and took just 50 minutes, which the Chronicle stated was a new record for crossing the Channel. ‘On arrival back at Ilfracombe the first person to congratulate Capt. Ratcliff on the wonderful performance was ‘Suicide’ Bob Perry, one of the Death Riders on the Pier – truly a meeting of speed giants.’ This gives a fascinating clue to the fact that a travelling Wall of Death motorbike show had arrived in Ilfracombe in the summer of 1930. So far we have not been able to unearth any other photos or references to this show, but we’ll keep digging. What we do know is that Bob Perry was a world-class stunt rider from America who was touring England in 1929 and 1930 with, amongst others, his sister Jenny, who also rode ‘the Wall.’ The Wall of Death, wildly popular in America, had never been seen in England before 1929, and Bob was a pioneer. By the mid-1930s there were a host of shows travelling around England’s fairs, including one with Tornado Smith who used to take his pet lioness up the Wall in a sidecar! The fact that a new attraction such as this had arrived in Ilfracombe so soon after its introduction shows how important a resort this was in the 1930s. For more maritime tales and history, why not visit the Museum during the Sea Ilfracombe weekend of the 4th to the 6th September to see our special display. FOCUS YOUR TRULY LOCAL COMMUNITY MAGAZINE PRODUCED IN ILFRACOMBE ILFRACOMBE and District 1851 29th January 1852 A Mutton Mutiny.—On Wednesday the 21st inst., three men, belonging to the schooner ‘Superb,’ Capt. Balley, then in this port, were brought before Sir James Meek and Nathaniel Vye, Esq., magistrates, charged with refusing to work. The men having “signed articles,” and the charge having been sustained, were committed for one month to the house of correction. The cause of the rebellion, is said to have been their having to eat, not “mutton cold,” but mutton roast, oftener than was pleasing to their fastidious palettes. The blue jackets who best know the moves of their own order, think the mutton mutiny nothing more than a ruse to get clear of the ship, which will be effected by their month’s feeding upon the various dishes of the prison, and by the other exercises in that road to liberty. The real cause is still believed to lie somewhere about the victualliing offices. Our Local Magistracy.—That part of the public of this town, still ignorant of the fact, will be glad to hear, that an addition has been made to our local magistracy in the person of Sir James Meek, CB, who has received from the Lord Chancellor the commission of the peace. This increase of the magistrates we hope to see followed by the establishment here of a petty sessions to remedy the great inconvenience and expense of parties having any business to the Bench being compelled to go all the way to Combmartin. Many causes of action affecting the peace and good order of the town are no doubt frequently foregone in consequence of the loss of time, expense, and trouble of taking witnesses and what not five or six miles from the town. We should hardly suppose there was a town in the kingdom, the size of Ilfracombe, and a seaport too, in which there was not a petty sessions. We hope that those to whom it naturally belongs to see to these matters, will move in the proper quarter to obtain so desirable an object. We shall then have a Board of Health to purify our homes and ways, and a magistracy to mind our manners. The “Hobblers” Hubbub.—A quarrel between those peaceful citizens of our quay had likely on Saturday last to have had with one of the boat’s crews, a tragical end. The ‘Express,’ steamer had been compelled to put back to port through stress of weather. The steamers are respectively served by particular boats and crews and for another to trespass upon his rights is resented as breaking the laws of the service. The boat in this instance which first boarded the steamer was not the one belonging to her, but somehow they lodged themselves or some part of them on board; presently came the gig and crew who claimed the prize as their prescriptive right. A tussle ensued as to who should get the hawser during which the steamer being in motion with the last boat, we believe, seven hands in her, was run into and all the hands tumbled into the water. So enraged were the other party, and so wanting in the common duties of humanity even to the worst enemy that they never moved an oar to assist them in their terrible peril. Their danger was seen from the shore and assistance immediately sent off by which, and with the aid of some life buoys thrown from the steamer they were all preserved from a watery grave. For the honour of the place we forbear to give the names of the men guilty of so fearful an act and as refusing to assist even their enemies when perishing, hoping that reflection has before now brought them to a better mind. The injury done to the boat ran into will cost £5 to repair. 4th March 1852 Vestry Meeting.—Little has been heard of vestry meetings since the formation of the Board of Health. Last Saturday, however, one was convened at the usual place and time, for the purpose, chiefly, of electing a list of persons eligible to serve as constables for the next year, which list is presented to the magistrates at their sitting, who have to decide on what honoured individuals of the number are to serve. At the same meeting the question was entertained whether to continue in his office the present paid constable. Against him, as against every other official, there were many complaints, and which at the meeting he had the privilege of hearing. There was notwithstanding the charges, a majority in favour of retaining him; he will now have an opportunity of mending the faults complained of, as far as the complaints were just or true, and showing that a word to the wise is sufficient. Our police constable (so called sometimes) is not a regular “Peeler,” and wears no uniform. It has been suggested that a few weeks’ training amongst the “regulars” with the addition of the uniform,--the blue coat, &c., belt, shining boots, hat without a bruise, and extra shave—would have a marvellous effect in increasing self-respect and consequently at increasing his influence greatly in the prosecution of his office. 1st April 1852. The Berrynarbor Robbery. The burglar, who broke into the house of Pearce, the butler of A.D. Bassett, Esq., on Sunday the 14th inst., and stole therefrom a watch and other articles, was brought up for his final examination before the magistrates on Thursday 29th and fully committed to the county gaol to await his trial at the next assizes. On some parts of his clothing was discovered the Queen’s “broad arrow,” prove it to be Government property. From subsequent enquiries there is reason to believe that he is one of the convicts under sentence of transportation who sometime ago escaped Dartmoor prison. Should that be proved it will have no tendency to mitigate his next sentence.

Round Table ran a cracking Birdman at the beginning of August. Even the weather was perfect, not too hot, not too cold, bit of wet in the morning to freshen things up then sunny for the main event. I am told by Mr Birdman that over 5000 people turned up, ate over 1000 burgers and 500 hot dogs plus a whole hog roast and donuts. Twenty jump (or should that be ‘fly’?) teams both local and from afar dazzled the crowds along with live music and other entertainment from Make a Move and The Voice FM. The fireworks were a surprise and a fabulous end to a really good day. We await with baited breath the final tally of profits… By the time you read this we will also have had Rescue Day (last time with the Sea King!), Carnival, The Beer Festival at The Landmark and the minis on August Bank Holiday. They were still in the future when we went to press so more info on how it all went next time. August is always the busiest month in the event calendar but there is plenty still to do after the kids have gone back. Our next event in the town is Sea Ilfracombe over the weekend of 4 – 6 September. The Sea Ilfracombe team are pulling out all the stops to provide a weekend packed with entertainment for all the family. Maritime displays, the Boat Stories Premier, children's entertainment, live music and local food vendors all coming together to celebrate our links with the sea. It all kicks off on Friday 4th at the Landmark Theatre with the Boat Stories premier. The series of short films invites us to take a glimpse into the lives of those who earn their living locally from the sea, who work in all weathers and those who take to the water just for the fun of it. Tickets are free and can be booked from the Landmark Theatre, but hurry as they are going fast. Saturday and Sunday see a full programme of land and sea based entertainment and live music with a selection of street vendors to suit all appetites.

ILFRACOMBE COMMUNITY TRANSPORT Late-night minibus service to and from Mortehoe and Woolacombe is 'picking up!' - more passengers are using it. A reminder that the service is available to members of the public as well as employees. In addition to our usual services advertised elsewhere in Focus, we have recently taken groups to Torrington Common to look at Trumpton Village being built and almost finished by the Torrington Cavaliers and due to be set on fire on August Bank Holiday Monday. This was followed by lunch at The Black Horse. On Saturday 8 August we held a 60s Night to raise funds for the Community Minibuses, organised by Trustee, Sylvia Prideaux. This was a most enjoyable and nostalgic evening and raised £260. Many thanks to Sylvia, all who came and supported and especially to the DJ, Roy. On Tuesday 11 August, our minibus brought a group over from Northam. They spent about 3 hours experiencing the delights of Ilfracombe. On 12 August, two minibuses took 27 passengers to Sydney House, Chulmleigh for afternoon tea. Rosie, as usual, made us all very welcome and we enjoyed our tea. Afterwards we had a look around her garden with its pond and many ducks and with lovely views over Dartmoor. If you would like to join in our friendly outings by minibus, please contact Shirley Jones on 01271 863630. We also acquired a further minibus - we are still waiting for the one promised from Government funds! TORRS LADIES CLUB We were back at Brookdale on 10th August after our break, and the meeting was very well attended. Shirley welcomed everyone on a very bright and sunny afternoon. After the formal business I took numbers for our monthly lunch club and we decided to go to Ilfracombe Golf Club, they do a very nice lunch there and many places in town are very busy in August. Barbara gave out birthday posies, quite a few as we hadn't met in July and very lovely they were too. Vida had news of the singing group, they will meet next on the 19th September at Windsor Court to organise their winter programme. Any members who would like to join them get in touch with Vida at the next meeting. Next Shirley introduced Ivan Frances our guest speaker. He had come to tell us about "Ilfracombe in Bloom". He has been chairman of the Committee for the pass ten years during which time funds have dropped dramatically to only £9,000 per year. We were all amazed to hear about all the different places as well as gardens that come under Britain in Bloom committee's umbrella. The committee do have help from the council the Rotary Club and various other groups of people in the town Ivan is obviously a very committed and passionate leader of a great band of people who help make our town a place to be proud of. In September our meeting is on Monday the 14th starting at 2-00pm, visitors are always welcome and it is Shirley's Quiz afternoon. CAPSTONE LADIES’ CLUB Our meeting was held on Monday 27th July and it was a joy to welcome back our speaker for the afternoon - Rosemary Wedlake, also known as the “Hat Lady”. We were especially grateful as she is suffering from a broken foot, falling off a step while chasing a squirrel and she then walked round France for five days before having an x-ray! Rosemary is the last survivor of seven children and while the older children went off to work on their careers, she, being one of the youngest stayed at home, to help look after her father who was injured in the first World War. She had a close relationship with her mother who was a teacher and she told us that she learned everything from her. She has a wonderful collection of hats, some she has bought and others that have been given, but every hat tells a story which she retells while changing hats. Shapes change with eras and fashion but everyone seemed to suit Rosemary. We were given the tip “always wear a hat so you can see the brim, never on the back of the head.” Her sense of humour is remarkable and she had us in stitches for most of the afternoon. Rosemary is writing a book about her life – that should be good! The raffle was won by Rosemary Riorden and Jan Cross. Competition winners: 1st Chris Stockwell, 2nd Joyce Johnson, 3rd Jan Cross. Flower of the Month: 1st Jan Cross, 2nd Margaret Burden, 3rd Pat Nott. There were three birthday flowers. We do not meet in August so our next meeting will be Monday September 28th at 2.15pm in Emmanuel Church when our speaker will be Paul Swales on Nepal and India. New members welcome.

It is possible to transfer the burial rights of any plot and a set procedure is used to do this, as the rights do not automatically transfer to living relatives. These rights of burial at Score were purchased for a period of 100 years, and even if several generations have passed since the first owner died. Please get in touch with me if you or any of your relatives wish to exercise your rights and wish to be interred at this most secluded, restful spot of Ilfracombe when the time draws near. Please remember that because of a Living Trust, Score Cemetery belongs to the People of Ilfracombe for ever!

Open Nights are for anyone and everyone to ‘sing, say or play’, and if you’re a musician and you don’t want to play solo, there’s often a chance during the break for a bit of a jam session. The evening is usually made up of an eclectic mix of songs, music, poems and stories. Anyone is welcome to come along, and though encouraged to participate, they won’t be pressurised to do so – you’ll be just as welcome if you just want to listen. It’s a friendly, informal and fun environment, with no admission fee, although the pot is passed around for contributions to the club’s expenses. Our guest night on Saturday 26th welcomes two artists who have played at the club before, although not in this combination. Paul Downes is no stranger to either the West Country (a native and resident of Exmouth) or in particular to Shammick Acoustic. He seems to turn up as a guest artist on a regular basis, either on his own or with other performers – this time with renowned singer-songwriter Mick Ryan. Mick is well-known on the English folk scene not just for his superb voice, but also for his songwriting, many of which songs are sung by a host of other professional and amateur performers. Having written both comic and serious material for the very popular band, Crows, in the ‘80s, he has since written for radio and a series of highly successful folk operas, such as ‘The Voyage’, ‘The Navvy’s Wife’, ‘The Pauper’s Path’ and most recently the WW1 show, ‘A Day’s Work’, all with a host of superb singers and musicians. Paul is one of the most respected artists on the British acoustic music scene. A consummately skilled guitarist and expressive singer, with the ability to bring apparently effortless brilliance to his dazzling array of guitar styles, he has worked with the likes of Phil Beer, presently of Show of Hands, The Arizona Smoke Revue, Pete Seeger, The Joyce Gang and Maggie Boyle. It has been said that the duo “positively oozes skill and professionalism”, which would surprise no-one that has seen either of them individually. Together, they provide singing, music and entertainment of the very highest quality. A number of local performers will, as usual, be there as support artists, as well as enjoying being part of the audience. Shammick Acoustic takes place at The Pack o’ Cards, High Street, Combe Martin from 8 p.m. Tickets for the concert are £7 in advance from Shammick Acoustic, from the Pack o’ Cards, or Pets’ Pantry, High Street, Combe Martin or online via www.wegottickets.com/ShammickAcoustic, or £8 at the door if not sold beforehand. Shammick Acoustic is a not-for-profit organisation. More information can be found on the website at www.shammickacoustic.org.uk, or contact Tom or Barbara Brown on 882366, or by e-mail at contact@shammickacoustic.org.uk. 16 PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ADVERTISERS Tyrrell Hospital, Ilfracombe MINOR INJURIES UNIT Opening Hours 8am–6.00pm (7 days) Address: St. Brannock’s Park Road, EX34 8JF Phone: 01271 863448 TABLE TOP & CARBOOT SALE AT SLADE VISION CENTRE LAST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH C om p u te r R ep a i r s 27th September All proceeds go to Jayne Morrow’s Stem Cell Treament to stop her M.S. • Friendly professional I.T. support for your home or business • Free quotation, competitive price - no fix, no fee • Computer repairs • Data transfer, back & recovery • Virus & malware removal • Wireless network configuration • Hardware & software upgrades tel: 01271 866055 mob: 07535 656101 • Windows & Apple Mac support • Over 20 years I.T. experience • Microsoft & Cisco certified • Advanced business services (see web site for details) Sellers 8.30am Buyers: 9.30 – 12.30pm All sellers £5 per table/car Booking advisable for tables, tables provided.
