THERE was a special victory for Clovelly Gig Club veterans at the village's own regatta last week.

They won their event to take the unique trophy made in memory of the late Patrick Farley, a valued supporter of the local regatta and whose daughter Fiona is the club's ladies captain.

The trophy is a gig hand-crafted by local craftsman Alan Capern from a piece of hardwood from Bude lock.

Fiona and her mother Maureen, who donated the trophy, are pictured presenting it to the Clovelly veterans crew Andy Curtis, Eric Scott, Pat Stubbs, the Hon John Rous, John Little and Carl Downing.
