One Crew Newsletter 04062026:
Welcome to another edition of your One Crew Newsletter; May was certainly a busy month and we started off at;-
Offshore Food & Music Festival 9 & 10 May = £18,707 !!!
A “crazy but very profitable” weekend. Thanks to everyone who helped in running the Entrances and to Debbie Phillips for recruiting many of the volunteers. Also thanks to Stewart/Daniel & the Water Safety Team and the Lifeboat Crew who came across the Bay to mingle with the appreciative crowds.
Coffee Morning @ Berry Head Hotel = £283
Morrisons Bucket Collection = £295
Spring Bank Holiday CTF = £597 !!
Breakwater Marathon (Going the Extra Mile) = £2,534 (currently) – Brilliant effort by Fitness Trainers Kevin Smith & James Pine running 27 miles plus friends supporting them running one mile each. Thanks to those who managed the Water/First Aid station and Roger Smith providing running (no pun intended) commentary throughout the day.
Comings and Goings: First of all, may I welcome Louisa Arnold who succeeds Jason Luff as our Community Manager in Area 19. Our Thanks to Jason for all the support he has given Torbay but who has now moved up the “pecking order” to become the Regions Senior Community Manager.
Sadly (for us but not for her) we bid Farewell to Jane Allison from the Shop who has now gone to live a new life in New Zealand to be closer to her family, our Thanks for all she has done for us over the years.
