Clovelly Lifeboat Weekend
Sunday will be a family friendly day filled with games, competitions, entertainment, food, drink and music. There will be a coconut shy, a tug of war, a cobble race, a cross dressing-up race, local stalls and children’s activities. In addition there will be a slave auction in which young local men are ‘sold’ to the highest bidder to do their chores for the day.
At the end of the weekend the Spirit of Clovelly will be launched for a demonstration by the volunteer crew. For those wishing to continue the fun there will be a curry, quiz and music by the Smiles Taylor Company in the evening.
