As a club we have decided to take part in events away from our regular Thursdays at the Joiner’s Arms in order to make the club better known and to support the community.
21st October 2023
A group of performers from the Club were pleased to visit Kingsley Indoor Bowls Club in Westward Ho for a Folk Music Experience evening. We sang few songs and played a few tunes. We received a warm welcome and we thank them for their charity donation.

We received the following email from the RNLI passed on by the Bowls Club
Dear Kingsley Indoor Bowls Club
On behalf of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution may I thank you for the generous donation of £40.00 received from Kingsley Indoor Bowls Club following a concert performed by The Bideford Folk Club.
Please convey the thanks of the RNLI to all members concerned for their kind support, which is most sincerely appreciated, we hope everyone who attended the concert had a wonderful time.
The RNLI is funded by voluntary contributions and it is only through kind gifts such as this that we are able to provide our volunteer lifeboat crews with the best boats, equipment and training that are needed to save lives at sea.
Last year we launched our lifeboat service a total of 8,244 times, rescuing 8,356 people and saving 238 lives. Our courageous lifeboat crews rescued an average of 23 people every day. Your generous contribution will help ensure our lifesaving work continues.
Please accept this email as our official receipt and, on behalf of our lifeboat crews, may I offer my renewed thanks for your support and interest in the lifeboat service.
Kindest regards,
Valerie Hulm (Miss)
