Grumpy old men helpSt Michael’s Hospice
The group of Playden friends gathered on Thursday evenings at the Top of the Hill Pub until it closed.
Not to be thwarted, Alan made a bar “conversion” in his garage to allow members to continue meeting.

“Alan is currently receiving welcome and brilliant care at St Michaels Hospice , where the entire group regularly visit. The Elders club is donating £620 to the Hospice with £250 further support to come from Exeter Friendly Society.
“Readers are encouraged to join in the appeal for this incredible local charity which relies on voluntary contributions.”
