The group of Playden friends gathered on Thursday evenings at the Top of the Hill Pub until it closed.
Not to be thwarted, Alan made a bar “conversion” in his garage to allow members to continue meeting.

“Alan is currently receiving welcome and brilliant care at St Michaels Hospice , where the entire group regularly visit. The Elders club is donating £620 to the Hospice with £250 further support to come from Exeter Friendly Society.
“Readers are encouraged to join in the appeal for this incredible local charity which relies on voluntary contributions.”
