Rescue demonstrations, sports, a barbecue and a sandcaslle competition, first prize for which went to a Cornish pasty, all added to the success of Wadebridge branch's beach fete held last August at Rock, on the Camel Estuary. That was just one of the events which helped the branch, which since its foundation in 1974 has been going from strength to strength, to reach a total for the year of nearly £9,000.
