A Thank You

A Special and sincere thanks from Esther Old to all the friends and acquaintances who attended Desmond’s funeral - for all the cards and flowers and messages of sympathy. To all those who played a special part during the ceremony and for all the thoughtful donations instead of flowers, for Port Isaac Practice and St Mabyn Church Restoration Fund, which was over £660.

Planning Concerns

There is growing concern in the village about the number of planning applications involving "infill" [building in gardens] which do not address the housing needs of the village.
Jon Miller has written to Dan Rogerson MP, Colin Mutton and NCDC Planning Office to ask them to put pressure on the government to allow more affordable housing to be built.

Band of Hope

Bought at an Antiques Fair in Wadebridge Town Hall a few years ago a mug with an inscription in gold on one side "St Mabyn Union Band of Hope", and on the other side a a pretty floral motif. Anyone know anything about this?

Planning application from Antonia Willis for demolition of stone shed, erection of single storey room linked to existing house with open loggia attached.

Comedy of Errors

PENCARROW – 16TH AUGUST AT 7.30PM
The Comedy of Errors is the shortest and perhaps most farcical of Shakespeare's plays and can be seen at Pencarrow, Washaway, Bodmin, on Thursday 16th August at 7.30pm. Theatre Set-Up’s open air presentation tells a tale of separation and reunion in which a tangled web of mistaken identity is woven. It follows the slapstick error-making of twin sons and their twin servants with the same name, as the oblivious pairs and their family try to reunite.
Tickets are available in advance from Pencarrow on 01208 841369 or on the evening, £9 for adults, £8 concessions, £6 children with the gardens open for picnics from 5.30pm, but please, no barbecues. The performance will continue regardless of the weather.
