| President's Appeal 2002 |
 |
In 2002, NDMC President Derek Drayton nominated the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution - RABI - as his chosen charity to benefit from the President's Appeal. During the year a number of fund-raising event were held as the club attempted to match 2001's record total of over £1700.
We did it ! A new record amount - over £2100 was presented in February 2003.

RABI provides ongoing assistance for farmers, farm workers and their dependants who have had to retire due to age or poor health, with insufficient financial resources to maintain a reasonable lifestyle. |
| In the wake of the foot-and-mouth outbreak in 2001, many farmers were forced into retirement with little or no savings. As a club that has always enjoyed a good relationship with the farming community in North Devon, the NDMC was eager to play its part in helping the those farmers looking to RABI for support. |
