		Our weekend away (4-7 May), organised by Brian, was based on Dartmouth Golf and Country Club. On our way there we stopped at Staverton where we enjoyed a trip on the South Devon Railway followed by a short walk round the Dartington Estate. By some miracle of planning all 31 members arrived in good time to catch the train and we had a most successful day in a very pretty area with beautiful spring sunshine. .
		En route to Dartmouth we break our journey at Staverton .
