Everyone knows that the last drop of Ellis was brewed back in 1934 when the family-owned brewery became part of a larger Cornish family outfit, Brewery. While MD Christopher Ellis went on to join the board at St Austell, the distinctive yellow and red labels of the Ellis ales were consigned to history. However, those lucky enough to try a sample of the beer down at the Cornish Arms would have realised they were in fact the real deal, brewed to mark a special occasion in the modern history of the Ellis family, the marriage of Christopher Ellis’ great great grandson and namesake, Chris Stephens. Crafted by St Austell’s Brewing Director Roger Ryman on the Small Batch Brewery after an original recipe gleaned from the pages of the historic Ellis journals, the ale went down a storm at the reception to celebrate the marriage of Chris and Rachel at St Peter’s Church at Ugborough. However, having enjoyed the special brew on his wedding day, Chris decided it was only fair that he and his father Paul should take some bottles back to the Cornish Arms - the original Ellis Brewery Tap - to celebrate its historic link to the family during the pub’s weekend festival. The moment was a particularly 6 poignant one for Devoran-based Paul, who has spent many years working to preserve and keep the heritage of the Ellis family alive, whose business interests started in Hayle as far back as 1815. Sampling the ale in its historic home, Chris said, “We were absolutely thrilled when Roger agreed to brew the Ellis Original for our special day. I think everyone was amazed at how good it tasted and it just felt right to bring it back down here with my father to celebrate a little bit of our wider beer festival. family history.” Commenting on the brew, St Landlady Claire Williams, who took a Austell’s Roger Ryman said, “It’s break from getting the pub ready for always a treat to be able to use the weekend’s successful festivities, historic recipes and to try to make was joined by Cornish beer writer them work in the modern day. and journalist Darren Norbury in Having the Small Batch allows us to giving a massive thumbs up to the be creative and work on special brew, while samples were also left brews like this one and, while we for locals to try as part of the pub’s have brewed one or two Ellis ales in

7 the past to mark anniversaries, it’s a real pleasure to be able to give someone such a fantastic gift on their wedding day.” While the old Ellis Original was a one-off, spares were available through the Brewery’s online shop and from the Visitor Centre which sold out in record time. However, as we all know, weddings are sometimes followed by other celebratory announcements, so watch this space for the possibility of a new Ellis Original being hatched from the Small Batch!

All welcome - please do come along and join us. Praze Hayle Choir This year is shaping up to be busy one for the choir. We performed first at the Trevenson Club in Pool on April 24th to an appreciative audience of club members and then on home ground at St. Elwyn’s April 30th in a Regional Gala Concert - part of the Male Voice International Festival. We have been part of this bi-annual event from its beginning and have always enormously enjoyed it. This year we were joined by the TauntonDean and Wessex Male 8 Voice Choirs as well as the Roros choir from Norway. The church was filled and the audience heard some very fine singing from all four choirs. After ‘Trelawney’ 200 singers and their supporters made their way to the Old Quay House (many thanks to Trevor and his staff) for a couple of hours of conviviality - with the choirs contributing their informal, or ‘Pub’ songs to the general merriment. Our contribution included the very informal - not to say disreputable - version of ‘ Hill’ to everyone’s amusement. Thanks are certainly due to Hampson’s of Hayle who, despite the lateness of the hour (pick-up at 9.00pm on a Sunday evening!) were able to provide everyone with a proper, hot Cornish pasty to widespread acclaim. We finally persuaded the Norwegians to be on their way just before midnight! Coming Up. In June and July Praze Hayle MVC will be singing at: Connor Downs Fete. Saturday 3 June from 2.30 The Millponds Ampitheatre Hayle Sunday 11 June and Sunday 9 July both with soloist Ellie Sherburn and both at 7.30 The Harbour Inn, . Tuesday 13 June and Tuesday 11 July with Ellie as soloist on the July date (and possibly in June), again at 7.30 In addition to these "outside” events we will be singing at St Bartholomew’s Church, Porthleven in a Charity Concert Fri 23 June starting at 7.30 and finally at, Ruan Minor Chapel, Sunday 23 July, 7.30 start. 9 A busy year indeed!

Each map defined a

10 different part of the town to be covered. The leaders and the others then sorted themselves out and got into groups. Each group brought back the sacks of litter they had collected (around 60 of these) to the Day Care Centre in Hayle, which were collected by Biffa, and enjoyed a beautiful free lunch provided by Light and Life Church. In the afternoon Save our Sands cleared the beaches and two brave men went down into the creek by the Co-op and rescued broken bottles, a supermarket trolley, a bicycle and about ten cones! One other group tackled a very bad patch near the Co-op which was overgrown and had a huge amount of litter, which had collected there. A warning to other groups tidying up their own village or town: we found

seagulls having a go at the sacks and litter was beginning to escape again! Not only did we clear up the town but groups were able to talk to others about what they were doing and why, and a lot of people got to know new people .There was a lovely atmosphere at lunch, when everyone came together. It was a really good way of promoting community. Participants were asked 11 if they wanted to do it again and there was an overwhelming ‘Yes’; so the next one is likely to happen in September. The advertising on Social Media and announcements on radio had also had an impact and we thank those who were involved in that.

Council Corner June & July 2017 Town and Parish Council Elections The local Town Council Elections took place on 4 May 2017. There has been a bit of change and we welcome three new members; Peter Nidds, Steve Benney and Ken Townend BEM. Their contact details, along with those of the other successfully re-elected members are on the back cover (p.44) of this edition of The Pump. Sadly, the Council says goodbye to Jayne Ninnes, John Bennett, Owen Philp, Robb Lello and John Coombe who stood down due to their many other commitments. Ian Lawrence was not successful on this occasion in his bid to regain his seat on the North Ward. The Council wants to place on record its appreciation to all of those who gladly served and freely gave their time during the last term of the Council. During the Annual Council meeting on Thursday 18 May 2017 Councillor Nick Farrar was successfully confirmed as Hayle Town Mayor and Councillor Clive Polkinghorne as Hayle Deputy Mayor for the forthcoming year.

12 Congratulations to both! Insufficient candidates stood in the South Ward and therefore no election occurred and we were left with three vacancies. By the time this has gone to press we hopefully will have co-opted 3 additional members. We will keep you posted. Hayle Open Air Swimming Pool The Swimming Pool is due to open again on Saturday 24 June 2017 and will be open daily from 11am to 6pm, weather permitting, until Sunday 10 September 2017. We can confirm that entrance prices have not been increased for the fifth year in a row and once again season tickets will be available to purchase. These may all be purchased at the pool. Please note that a small passport photo is required for season tickets. We are also pleased to be able to confirm that the Town Council is continuing free entry to the pool on Tuesdays for all residents of Hayle and/or the TR27 postal code area. However, the process will now be more tightly regulated. Free Tuesday Swim Passes may be obtained from the Clerk’s office (not the pool) upon proof of residence or ID (birth certificate, passport etc) for children and a small passport size photograph will be required for each pass. These will be available from the office from Monday 19th June. In the meantime, there is much hard work being undertaken, mostly by a team of volunteers. Members of Friends of Hayle Pool are once again giving up their time to prepare the pool for the season. If you would like to get involved feel free to come and join the merry team every 13

Saturday throughout June, from 10am. Thank you all so much. The Millpond Several sites came back to the town council during the spring and summer of 2016, including the Millponds (not including the play area, which remains the responsibility of ). In preparation for the responsibility of managing this site being returned to us, we have built up a dedicated fund which now stands at £5000. This money will be used to commission a comprehensive report on the management of the Millponds. This will include input from various experts and agencies such as Natural England and the Environment Agency. Website We are very pleased to announce that the new look website is now up and running.

Letter to the Editor I am an avid reader of your publication as a frequent visitor to Hayle over the last 50 years. Our first contact with Hayle was my father's deployment, from London, 14 as a bricklayer, at the outset of the war, working in the Foundry area. My question is to anyone who might know, what this work involved? The only clue is he became very ill with the bends from working underground in compressed air. My mother and family joined him soon after, renting Rose Cottage at Mexico Phillack until he was called up to the army, when they were evacuated to Trecarol hotel in St.Ives. I am hoping that one of your readers might know what "war work" went on in Hayle at the beginning of WW2.

Transitions Hayle Hub Incredible Edible:- We are so pleased to say that after very positive meetings and support from Hayle In Bloom and Olivia, Hayle Hub was offered the middle white boat planter outside ASDA. A group of three met over the boat in March, weeded, refreshed and nourished the soil and began to plant. It is a work in progress as our plants become available and as we discover which thrive on the South Quay. Thus far, in Hayle's Incredible Edible Boat are:- 3 types of strawberry, several herbs, the mint being confined to the stern of the boat, a tea plant, trial of swiss chard and some dwarf beans. By the time you read this, borlotti beans, more rainbow chard, a leek or two and nasturtiums will have been added. Our sweet corn plants will be ready to plant in June. We are fully aware of the effect that weather conditions may have on our plants and can replant or change our plan accordingly. Every one of of our plants and compost is organic and has been donated by:- 19 - Compost, Green Waste at Splatten Ridge - Jane at Hayle Plants, herbs and tea plant - Lynne Dyer at PeaT, Growing Links, for expert advice and strawberries, sweet corn and swiss chard. - House of Vestress, who have supplied material to make a wonderful boat banner and have a collection box for donations in their shop. - The beautiful and organically formed team of Alison, Sarah and Pete, who also grow beans, leeks, peas etc. for the boat. Huge thanks to each and everyone of them for their generosity. All growing in the boat can be, eventually, touched, picked, sniffed and eaten raw and cooked. We want to encourage you all to do so, we look forward to talking about the Incredible movement with you, which exists throughout the world. We go to the boat everyday, so if you see us there do come and chat. We will also be near the boat for Hayle Fest with activities and information and tastings. The Hub welcomes people from Hayle and the surrounding area and if you are inspired to join the Incredible Edibles then do contact me or go to the Transition website and definitely pop edibles into an unlikely space that you may have available where others can enjoy and sample. We have already been offered more planting to do, so watch this space.

Hayle in Bloom is gearing up for summer. Plants are being potted up, and pots are being planted, ready for the big show around town. The weather is taking a while to settle, but as the saying goes, ne'er cast a lout 'til May is out! If you shop at ASDA, please support us with your tokens. We are in the running until June, and a cash prize would be great to help with the expenses involved in keeping Hayle in Bloom. Thanks to all those who have dropped their tokens into our slot so far.

Heyl St Piran Singers Heyl St. Piran Singers has made a few changes recently. The choir now has a new musical director, Martin Davies, who has taken over the role from our long standing m.d. and founder of the choir, Ann Thomson. Although Ann is no longer the m.d. she is still very closely involved with the choir and is the assistant m.d. as well as taking on a new role as pianist. Another change for the choir is that rehearsals now take place on a Wednesday evening, not Thursdays, and there is also a change of venue to Hayle Day Care Centre. However the time of the rehearsal is the same, from 7.30 to 29 9.30. So ladies if you enjoy singing do come along on a Wednesday evening, there are no auditions, you don’t need to be able to read music, all you need is an enjoyment of singing. We have welcomed several new members recently and the choir has an excellent and wide ranging repertoire.

Millpond Update May is the month to visit the Millponds when our wildflowers are at their best and the wildlife is active again. Many of our birds are nesting, the rabbits are busy on the east bank of the leat and the turtles are awake in the Swan Pool. The yellow iris are in bloom around the Inner Pool and when the rhododendrons start to flower on Duck House Island the visual effect is magical. We also have English bluebells, as opposed to Spanish hybrids, white valerian, broom rape, Lady’s Smock, Italian arum, lilies and germander speedwell.

NEW WELL WOMAN AND PREGNANCY YOGA CLASSES I have always loved yoga and in honesty there has never been any other form of embodiment that has ever compared to its benefits for me. As my own enquiry into women’s cyclical nature deepened through the births of my three sons, so too did my own yoga practice. My interest in how to truly allow my body to move

32 with the breath and meet where I am in the inner seasons of my menstrual cycle was persistent! This last month at age 46 after practicing yoga since I was 22 I taught my first yoga class specifically designed to honour the cyclical nature of women. I have called these Well Woman Yoga classes and all women at all ages are welcomed. During the class I encourage the participants to consider which stage of their menstrual / moon / life cycle that they are in. We move gracefully through a sequence of asanas chosen for their balancing effects, particularly on the ovaries, adrenals and thyroid. The room is lit by candlelight and the women’s mats are arranged in a circle. We close the class by sharing our experience and when we leave there is a tangible feeling of a bond or sisterhood. Something has been stirred within us because, at last, the full spectrum of our cyclical nature has been named and met within us. Before my Well Woman Yoga class on a Tuesday evening from 8- 9.30pm upstairs in the beautiful Trevithick Room at the Passmore Edwards Institute, I offer my Pregnancy Yoga class from 6- 7.30pm. During pregnancy women tend to be drawn to yoga because of the benefits that they receive and also because this is a time when a woman more than ever in her life needs to follow the lead of her body in the development and birthing of her baby. It is a time when if a woman can intimately get to know her own body before she gives birth 33 Rotary Time Capsule supports The Cornwall Birth and Baby Appeal The Beatle’s released “All You Need Is Love”, an average house then she will feel confident, relaxed cost £3000, Radio 1 first went on and above all empowered to voice air.

Good News for Chinese food lovers! Opening in June on Penpol Terrace (above The Big Pink Tree) there will be a new Chinese takeaway which will be called Chilli Chinese. Unfortunately there will not be a restaurant due to there being no disabled access. 36 Proposed Footbridge South Quay is under new ownership. In February 2017 it was sold to Arke Property, who are now working to complete the regeneration of South Quay In 2014 the phase one plans for the Asda food store were accomplished. Arke Property is now firmly committed to enabling the remaining works, which were put on hold shortly after the opening of the food store, Arke will deliver a permanent footbridge link between Penpol and South Quay allowing quick and easy access across the creek to the tip of South Quay—one of the best viewpoints in England. Arke will complete the construction work on Foundry Yard and emove the unsightly hoardings which have hidden the site for three years. Foundry Yard has been approved as the site of a new retail development, which will create new jobs in Hayle. The design for the residential houses which were approved in 37 2012 will be agreed and the South Quay housing will finally be built. A new restaurant at the tip of South Quay will be constructed and will provide a wonderful location for everyone to enjoy the ever-changing landscape. Anyone for Boules?

A boules Pitch or as it’s known in France, Bouledrome, has been made adjacent to the swimming pool. This is to commemorate twenty years of being twinned with Pordic in Brittany. There were problems with waterlogging so it has had to have

plenty of drainage and hopefully the surface will be hard enough to play on. The Café will have some boules which may be hired by a donation 38 to the Swimming Pool Fund. Although the Hayle Pump Newsletter sponsored the pitch we received help from Gary at Multisigns, Jewsons, providing at cost plus equipment free, and Twinning members especially Neil Mason providing labour and time.

Appréciez jouer à nos amis! Inner Peace...... If you can start the day without caffeine, If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains, If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles, If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it, If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time, If you can take criticism and blame without resentment , If you can conquer tension without medical help, If you can relax without alcohol, If you can sleep without the aid of drugs, Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!
