A success and a sell out....!

Wellswood District’s Trafalgar Dinner

Wellswood District League of Friends held their 6th annual Trafalgar Dinner on Friday 21st October at the Royal Torbay Yacht Club and it proved to be a very successful evening raising over £1,500 for the League.
All guests were welcomed 'on board' by the Torbay Sea Cadets under the Command of Lt Skingle RNR and their presence helped to set the scene for this traditional celebration of the Battle of Trafalgar.


Lynne Hookings (Chairman of both the League and Wellswood District) introduced the top table guests and welcomed everyone to the Dinner. Lynne thanked everyone for their support, especially the sponsors, and expressed how lucky we are to have such an excellent local hospital and how proud the League is to support it.
The guests of honour were Commodore Simon Williams ADC,RN, Commodore Britannia Royal Naval College and Paula Vasco-Knight, Chief Executive, South Devon Healthcare Foundation Trust. Their speeches were most enjoyable and their contribution to the event was very much appreciated.
