The Coffee Morning took place in the council chambers, in the room, a large plaque originally presented to the council as recognition for the adoption of Motor Launch 140 during warship week 1942. Interestingly, Motor Launch 140 was a ship built by Frank Curtis, whose boat yard sat at the western edge of Millpool Car Park in Looe!A photo of the ship was on display for the coffee morning guests, alongside a selection of D day literature provided by our library team.
