This week we report on news that an elderly woman had to be rescued by an off-duty police officer after falling into a river.

In other news, college students travelled to Germany to perform Hair Spray and The Nutcracker and campaigners protested against increasing train fares.

As usual there is also the family announcements, public notices, letters to the editor, Village Voice pages, clubs and societies and what’s on, plus much more inside.

Remember if you can’t get to the shops, or you have moved out of the area, you can get all South Hams Newspapers online here: http://www.kingsbridge-today.co.uk/subscribe.cfm
