Sue Franklin Posted May 23, 2022 Report Share Posted May 23, 2022 We will be moving to the Star Inn at Liverton near A38 Drumbridges Roundabout as from our July meeting. Those of you with longish memories will remember we previously spent many happy years at the Star. Big and level surfaced car park is one of the main attractions. Several lit and heated pods in the garden and adequate room for us indoors. We have done this in response to several members' expressing concerns about the parking at our previous home the Claycutters Arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Lindsay Posted May 24, 2022 Report Share Posted May 24, 2022 I remember Stan Walters; used to have a great ad in The Courier every month. Is he still with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn wright Posted May 25, 2022 Report Share Posted May 25, 2022 He sold up and moved to Spain back in 1999/2000? I did hear that he was thinking of moving back but not sure? There is a old Petrol Station /Classic car garage called "2 oaks or Royal Oak" something like that on the Totnes main road fron Newton Abbot, Ipplepen and next to that was a Bungalow he used to live in!

Sue Franklin Posted May 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2022 Martyn - you are thinking of Two Mile Oak Garage on the road Totnes / Newton Abbot. Now sells a variety of 'classics' but wish Stan Walters was still around! We have been Devon Area Organisers for 17 years and he moved out to Spain before we took over. I did hear a rumour that he was intending to come back but not heard any more. His work was legendary and a lot of people down here are still grateful for his expertise. Good to see your Vitesse getting there and if you are ever in Devon on the third Wednesday of the month from July onwards, do pop into the Star and say Hi. It has changed hands many times since your day, and we are looking forward to going back to the pub which was our 'home' for most of the time we have been in harness.
