This was held at the Torbay Inn, Paignton on Saturday 13th December 2025. We filled the lounge, there were around 40 members present, include one couple who had only joined earlier in the week and a contingent from Exeter and East Devon CAMRA. The beers on handpump were Tribute, Sharp's Sea Fury, Dartmoor Legend and Dartmoor IPA

Following a pleasantly short welcome speech by our chairman Clive, the next item was the quiz, traditionally supplied by Bob, our cider man. Unfortunately the first prize, a three pack of Henney's cider, went to the Exeter & East Devon contingent.

Next came the buffet, provided by Dave and Jenny, licensees of the Torbay Inn and excellent it was, ending with Christmas cake and mince pies with brandy sauce.

Now came the raffle, prizes included gift packs of Jail Ale XXX, Batham's Bitter, Glastonbury beers, Fuller's Imperial Stout and Brew Dog to name but a few. Thanks must go to the members who donated gifts for the raffle.

Thanks also to Billy who organised the event, to Bob for the quiz, Dave & Jenney for the buffet and Alan for the raffle.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year! Don't forget the walkabout in Totnes on the 27th December, meet in the King William IV at midday.
