REMINDER: On the letterbox trail
Ivan and Sue Godfrey, of Tiverton RC, are doing their Dartmoor
Charity Letterbox Trail for the third time this summer. The family
walk of about four miles, which starts from the village of Belstone,
near Okehampton, has 16 separate boxes in different locations on
the moorland trail, each with a stamp picture relating to the theme
of ancient Dartmoor.
The proceeds will go to Topic of Cancer, which is funding cutting
edge research into cancer immunotherapy.
Rotarians and their families who’d like to have a go are invited to
send an SAE and a cheque for £2.50, payable to Topic of Cancer, c/o
Sue and Ivan Godfrey, 59 Belmont Road, Tiverton EX16 6EQ. In
return, they will receive: a set of clues to help them find the location
of each stamp a map of the area of the walk, plus a copy of the
“starter” and “thank you” stamp.
