NORTHLEW enjoyed a memorable day last Saturday when the newly renovated Victory Hall was officially opened by the 'Wag of Widecombe' Tony Beard. The hall was packed with people wanting to be at the culmination of a 'hard slog' by Den Adams and his band of volunteers. Countless events have been held over a long period to raise the money needed to fund the work. During the day the Rev Stuart Wilson was the master of ceremonies, and apart from Mr Beard, there was plenty of other entertainment — a variety of music and singing by Northlew Silver Band, Judith Clarke, Paula Riggs and the Iddesleigh Singers. Mr Adams expressed thanks to all who made the work possible, and Mr Beard presented a bottle to Mr Adams and a bouquet to Jean.
