SOCIAL GROUP WEDDING - RACHEL & ADAM
Event Date : .
Posted On : Saturday, June 21, 2008

All the best to a lovely couple!

Romances from Las Vegas!
Event Date : .
Posted On : Friday, June 20, 2008

The wedding of Adam & Rachel which took place last Saturday in Newton Abbot was another success for Devon Social Group organisers Andrew & Cathy, who themselves met through our socialising and friendship organisation.

Following divorce after becoming ill with M.E. and finding himself isolated and alone, Andrew started Devon’s ready-made 'group of friends' in 1997 with a view to enjoying good times with like-minded people. The idea was to provide a programme of social events for people and an instant ‘group of friends’ to enjoy it all with, with lots of nights out and dining out at local restaurants in Devon, as well as themed parties and dinner dances, and a whole variety of outdoor activities such as quad biking, archery, clay shooting, and abseiling. It was a unique and original concept, a fresh approach to meeting people and making friends, with the aim of encouraging people to enjoy life and having fun.

Cathy joined the group of friends in 1999 and ended up running the group with Andrew, who proposed to her in the middle of a Devon Social Group holiday at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada, USA, in 2002, the couple getting married on the spur of the moment on the holiday over the lights of the Las Vegas Strip at night in a helicopter, just 4 days later. Long term Devon Social Group member Adam from Exeter was one of the group of friends who was on the holiday with Andrew & Cathy, and who joined them on the 50th floor rooftop reception party at the exotic Rio Hotel afterwards to celebrate Andrew & Cathy’s wedding.

Adam, who also enjoyed trips to Malta and France with Devon Social Group, as well as many local social events, nights out, dinners and parties locally, went back with Andrew & Cathy to Las Vegas in 2004 and a second romance began when he met Rachel. After several years together, Adam & Rachel finally tied the knot at Forde House in Newton Abbot last week, with the reception at nearby Cockhaven Manor with family, friends, and other members of Devon Social Group. Andrew & Cathy said they were delighted for the newly married couple, and said they both felt very emotional at the wedding, seeing their friends who they had brought together get married and find happiness together. "We felt very honoured," says Andrew. "It is really special for them to find each other. They are both such nice people, a really good match for each other, and they deserve all the best in life. We are sure that everyone at Devon Social Group wishes Adam and Rachel every happiness together for the future."

Andrew, who was known for his artwork before starting Devon Social Group, painted a picture of the beautiful pool at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas as a special wedding present for Adam & Rachel as a personal reminder of where it all began. (pictured here...)

Adam & Rachel are currently taking their honeymoon in romantic Ireland.

Andrew & Cathy are currently busy planning their next group holiday to Las Vegas for September 2008. Anyone fancying going with them, can get in touch on 08456 121 770 (charged at local rate calls). Everyone welcome - singles & couples! Just Ł450pp for the holiday / accommodation at 5 star luxury hotels in Las Vegas, + flight estimated at around Ł450p, a total of around Ł900pp. Come with us and take advantage of group discount prices - no single supplements to pay - and lots of good company to enjoy it all with!

Michael Jackson joining Devon Social Group?
Event Date : .
Posted On : Sunday, April 06, 2008

The family of Michael Jackson, the pop superstar are reported to be moving to live in North Devon to escape the international media spotlight. The singer's older brother Tito Jackson, a judge in the BBC duet talent contest Just The Two Of Us, is reported to have been house hunting in the Barnstaple area for a permanent home for the family and has been out for dinner at the Fullam Chinese Restaurant - one of our own favourites in Barnstaple.

"We hope our house here will be a family hideaway where my brothers and sisters can escape the media attention when we need to," the 54 year old Tito Jackson told the North Devon Gazette, adding that the move would also make sense because of his television work in Britain. "My family love the wonderful countryside and friendly people here." Tito Jackson said that his brother superstar singer Michael Jackson likes North Devon a lot, as no-one bothers him here.

A few years ago Michael Jackson headlined a fundraising event organised by his friend Uri Geller at Devon's Exeter City Football Club. Since then, apparently all the superstar Jackson family have been to Devon in recent years, including superstar singer Janet Jackson, R&B group 3T featuring the three sons of Tito Jackson, nice guy Jermaine Jackson who recently starred in the infamous series of Celebrity Big Brother, and ultra-cool singer / producer Randy Jackson who is a popular judge on the sensation that is American Idol alongside Simon Cowell.

The story that the world famous Jackson family have already rented a house in Appledore and will be here from May recently brought North Devon national attention when mentioned on the Johnathon Ross Show, with Channel 4 apparently considering a reality TV show to tell the story of the world famous American family moving to live in a quiet part of the Devon countryside by the sea.

Of course Devon Social Group is ideal for people new to the area, and we have lots of members who have just moved here and are looking to meet people, find their feet and feel at home. So if any of the Jacksons are at a loose end, looking for more to do, and would like to join Devon Social Group to come to some of our social events to meet some local people and make some friends here in the local community, we are sure everyone would make them very welcome!

Lots of fun and lots of great people!

Devon Social Group's falconer on Channel 4's WIFE SWAP!
Event Date : .
Posted On : Tuesday, March 04, 2008

What do you get when you swap a rural existence on a West Devon farm where the husband is trying to make a business of his expertise with birds of prey, with that of a modern Yorkshire family where the mum leads a second life in London as a well known glamour model?

CHANNEL 4's WIFE SWAP was back on form this week, with particular interest to us, with us having hired falconer David Buncle several times for Devon Social Group 'birds of prey' events, the next one being this May 2008 of course with our Dartmoor Ball & activity weekend - where you will not only be able to learn all about hawks, owls and falcons, but no doubt be able to ask David all about being on Wife Swap too!!

If you missed the show this week, viewers saw singing housewife Michelle Buncle, aged 37, of Higher Willsworthy Farm, near Peter Tavy, swap her green wellies for the lifestyle of Louise Sage (stage name Taylor Ray Lewis), aged 25, who lives in Darlington but spends a couple of days a week working in London as a glamour model.

Peter Tavy's David and Michelle Buncle and their six children bravely signed up for the programme after seeing an advert by the TV company appealing for families living unusual lives.

On the show, which for once was not too extreme, both couples came across as well-meaning normal decent people. Yes, they have different worlds, different views, different skills, and a different emphasis on life. But both couples showed kindness, consideration, and a determination to do their best for their families, one focussing on providing a good income and enjoying a nice home and the best of the modern world, and one reminding us all that spending time together is still as important as it ever was.

Congratulations to all involved! We can't wait for the next series!

THE REGION’S PREMIER SOCIALISING ORGANISATION, the Social Group consists of Cornwall Social Group, Devon Social Group, Somerset Social Group, and Bristol Social Group. We offer the best social life and organise a large programme of social events, dining out, parties, dinner dances, outdoor activities, leisure sports, and holidays. New members are always made welcome. As we have close to 1,000 members, we can organise a vast choice of events, catering for all ages, with plenty for everyone, all tastes and all pockets.

THE NUMBER ONE SOCIAL LIFE MAGAZINE - all new members are posted the current full colour 140 page issue of Social Group Magazine when they first join, with our compliments. This contains the entire “What’s On” events programme, and works like a giant menu, from which you can choose the things you fancy doing. You can come along to all our events by yourself and have a ready-made group of friends to enjoy everything with. In effect, we supply a group of friends for you to go out to dinner with, to go to the cinema with, to do leisure activities with, and generally to enjoy a great social life with! All the hard work in getting this large group of people together in the first place and in organising all the events is done for you - all you have to do, is come out and have fun!

THE BEST SOCIAL LIFE - Thanks to everyone for all the good company at recent events! We feel everyone has been having a great time recently and there's been a very good atmosphere, probably the best it has ever been. To be honest, we are delighted with how well things are going at the moment. Thank you to everyone for their good company and support, and thank you for all the nice things everyone has been saying - all the thank-you emails and messages have been very kind, and much appreciated. Of course, the more members we attract, the more we can put on for everyone, and the better this gets. So please tell all your friends! The more the merrier!

MUCH MORE COMING UP - There's lots coming up in the months ahead, with membership growing rapidly and a full programme of events planned in all areas. Social events, dining out, parties, dinner dances, outdoor activities, and a fabulous good value holiday to the Red Sea Coast of Egypt - where you can come home with a sun tan for Christmas!! If anyone else fancies this, please send in your deposit now, as we are trying to finalise this. We have people looking for someone to share with, so please come forward if you are on your own and looking for a good holiday with friends! Couples welcome too, of course. The holiday will be based on the Red Sea Coast of Egypt, where the sun shines every day and the sea is very warm still at the end of November, so it's great for sunbathing and swimming. Plus there is the chance of a lifetime to come with us to see the Pyramids in Cairo!!
