SEVERAL Royal Naval Association (RNA) branches came together recently for the annual croquet competition.

The RNA No 4 Area branches— from Bodmin, Bude, Delabole, Launceston, Liskeard and St Austell — mustered at Pencarrow House, the home of the Molesworth-St Aubyn family on Sunday, August 6, for the annual croquet contest.

The chairman of the No 4 Area, shipmate Ron Burdekin, and Ann Weir, the widow of Admiral Alec, was pleased to see and chat to nearly 50 shipmates who attended the afternoon, which was organised by the Delabole branch.

A super day out was enjoyed in the grounds of Pencarrow with some partaking of the cream teas available in the cafe.

With eleven teams competing for the trophies, there was some fierce competition.

Lady Iona Molesworth-St Aubyn kindly agreed to present the trophies to the winners, who were Liskeard with Bodmin finishing as runners-up.
