Swapping his mayoral chains for his lifejacket, Ilfracombe's Mayor Councillor Bob Thompson will be taking his place at the starting line of the Lundy Yacht Race on Sunday 30th May.

Ilfracombe Town Council asked residents back in August last year what it was about Ilfracombe that made it such an appealing place to live and then to capture it on film. The response was phenomenal as over 150 photographs were submitted ranging from tranquil sunsets to fun beach scenes, twinkling harbour lights and even a seagull!

Flying the flag for Ilfracombe is our very own Pilot Gig Team who will be taking part in the World Championships on the Isles of Scilly this Bank Holiday Weekend.
The 21st World Pilot Gig Championship takes place from Friday, 30 April until Monday, 3 May 2010 and Ilfracombe's team with their traditional wooden gig "Rapparee" will be put through their paces as they compete against over one hundred other competitors.
Visit the news section next week to find out how our team got on!
