On Friday 9th September at the Nare Hotel, Veryan, nine Tregony veterans who saw action at home and abroad during World War II were treated to a celebratory lunch in grateful aknowledgement of the vital part they all played in securing our freedom from the grip of Nazi oppression. The object of the lunch was to thank not only those who fought in the services, but also those who played vital roles supporting the war effort.
Special thanks were given to Bernard Richards, whose terrier-like determination secured a grant from the National Lottery to fund the lunch, and Cllr. Joy Flloyd-Norris who acted as secretary for Bernard.
