‘Plants of the Dolomites’ by Paul Cumbleton
An
illustrated travelogue of the Dolomite Mountains in Italy made in 2016,
showing a selection of the plants and scenery encountered. Wherever
possible Paul tries to link the plants shown in the wild with details
about their cultivation in the garden so people can see how “growable”
they are. Paul Cumbleton was head of the Alpine Department at RHS
Wisley Garden responsible for the rock garden, alpine meadow, crevice
garden and the alpine display houses for 11 years before escaping to the
country in rural Somerset. He has grown alpines for over 30 years and has
a particular interest in Pleione orchids and winter-growing South
African bulbs. He is a widely published author and blogger.
Everyone is welcome. Talk starts at 7.30pm at Uplyme Village Hall.
Refreshments are available from 7.15pm. Members free; non-members £3.

The Red Devils
 The
British Army’s official parachute display team will be a star
attraction of our Lifeboat Week.
The Red Devils, based at Netheravon Airfield on Salisbury
Plain, are a team of 15, all of whom have seen active service
in the Falklands, Northern Ireland, Kosovo, Sierra Leone,
Afghanistan or Iraq. They are widely acknowledged as among
the best display parachutists in the world, and carry out
spectacular shows at public events worldwide, promoting the
British Army and the
Parachute Regiment, known as ‘The Paras’.
A classic Red Devils display will see up to ten team members
jumping from an
altitude
of 10,000ft. Trailing smoke to demonstrate their speed
and movement, the highly skilled skydivers will freefall at
speeds up to 120mph before opening their parachutes. Then they
will demonstrate breath-taking high-speed ‘swoop’ landings and
spectacular ‘canopy formations’. A commentary will keep
everyone informed and the skydivers will be available
afterwards to meet spectators. 2-3pm

For adults and children alike, it’s an unforgettable experience.
