PCC News – St Mawes Trip
Members had a lovely trip over to St Mawes last Monday using several different transportation options including cars, Mark’s sailing boat and the ferry ! We had perfect conditions for a toddle around with sunny warm weather and a light wind blowing.
Needless to say with 12 people and 3 dogs it was a bit of a challenge for Karen as everyone had their own things they wanted to do. Many of us ended up in the pub as usual and we all had a great day! Thanks Karen for trying to organise us ☺
