A day trip of memories and awards
Residents and volunteers from the Abbeyfield Saltash Society visited Devonport Market Hall to see the amazing knitting and crochet creations at 'The Longest Yarn' exhibition.
The trip provoked many discussions and memories of wartime, and commentary was provided by the daughter of a resident, Jo Groves, who created one of the 20 panels which depicted the bombed Saltash Working Men's Club.
Transport was provided by Mike Finch, who runs the Saltash Red Bus service, which Abbeyfield Saltash have used on many occasions to visit local events and cafés.
On arrival, the residents were delighted to see Mike presented with a special Saltash Town Council Award for 'Contribution to the Community', by local councillor Julia Peggs.
