Happy Sunday! Look at this wonderful photo from the 1925 Beer Regatta. It’s taken from the back of the 2000 Regatta Programme. Does anyone have a copy of the 1925 Regatta programme? If so please take a photo of the front cover and pop it in the comments for our website project.
Today we say goodbye to Mary Davey, our Regatta President for many years. Her cortege will leave the Congregational Church at 1.25pm driving up Dolphin Road, Clapps Lane, Park Road and along Underleys and leaving Barnards Farm at 1.35pm.
We’re sharing the front and back cover of the Regatta programme of 2002, the year Mary opened it. RIP.
Some folks have recently started having trouble accessing the Beer beach webcams using Google Chrome ... our village expert says this is because Google has recently changed the way that Chrome works. A quick fix is to change one problem setting inside Google Chrome. You can find the instructions on how to do this at

Sorry if this is causing you a problem!
From Sarah Taylor - Regatta Chair
It is of great sadness for everyone involved in Beer Regatta – past and present – to hear that our President, Mary Davey, died earlier this morning.
Mary was our longest serving member, having been involved with Regatta ‘since forever’. She loved the village community coming together, and we were privileged that she and her late husband Tony opened the Regatta in 2002.
Mary was still very actively involved on the Regatta Committee; always ready to ‘roll up her sleeves’ and pitch in, until health issues prevented her from doing so. However, she still made it to the Jubilee Gardens for Regatta Day, with the help of her family – her smile and enthusiasm were infectious, and it was so special to see her being part of the day; it is a memory all of us will treasure.
Mary Davey is part of Beer Regatta’s history – her commitment, her spirit, her drive, her encouragement and her support will be remembered for many years to come. Mary was a lady who always had a twinkle in her eye – she will be much missed!
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this sad time.
