THE Camelfordian

SEPTEMBER 2013 EDITORIAL

It’s nice to be back after the Summer break and my comment this month is regarding what a contrary bunch we are! I could not help but note the number of occasions when conversations in the warm weather were full of sighs and wishes for some rain to perk up the garden and give some relief from the balmy nights when sleep was difficult. And now we have wetter weather there are those of us who look back to the weather with a sense of loss. I can understand a preoccupation with the weather when your liveli- hood depends on it, if you have to work outside or you have a dog with very appealing eyes who needs exercise whatever the conditions, but I believe that the variety is something to be cherished. Wouldn’t it be boring if the daffodils sprung from the soil or the star- lings returned on the same day every year? And what would we talk about?

CAMELFORD FORUM NHS DENTISTRY IN A MEETING IS TO BE HELD in THE CONFERENCE ROOM at CAMELFORD HALL on WEDNESDAY 18 SEPTEMBER at 7 pm In attendance will be Tamsyn Anderson and Joy Youart from NHS Kernow, and Bridget Sampson, Director of Commissioning and Controlled Drugs Accountable Officer, NHS England Everyone is welcome to attend

At times I become agitated by the activity of some of those who run our Commercial organisations. One of our supermarket organisations started their advertising campaign for the sale of ‘Back to School’ items just three days after our Cornish Schools had closed for the summer holidays. At the time the schools in Devon were still open. I wonder how many parents and children were infuriated by the television advertisement and then disregarded it, however the advertisement did set me thinking. You will be reading this article in early September when ‘Back to School’ or moving on to College, University or vocational training will be a reality for all of our children and young people. Moving on into a new class or a new learning environment creates the opportunities of a fresh start, learning new skills, facing new challenges and developing personal confidence although there are apprehensions when we are confronted with changing circumstances. A word of encouragement to those ‘moving on’ is helpful. For those moving into training, college or university there will have been a process of self-assessment in choosing an appropriate course. This will have involved looking at examination successes, abilities and gifts, and asking questions of oneself about the future direction of life. Everybody goes through such experiences at the appropriate time in their lives. It is however good for all of us to step back from the everyday routine occasionally and ask ourselves questions about where life is leading us, whether we are finding life fulfilling, and considering the alternatives. Such times can be life-changing and life enhancing experiences. As I was thinking along these lines I thought of the Wealthy Senior tax-collector in Jericho, who became curious about Jesus and his teaching. You can read the story of Zacchaeus in Luke’s record of Jesus’ life in Chapter 19. For his encounter with Jesus and his teaching about life was a life changing and life enhancing experience. He came to the conclusions that there was more to life than just making money and that being a member of the emerging Christian Community was life enhancing. There are of course people today who have come to the same conclusions as Zacchaeus when they have taken time to ponder life, or have been confronted with life’s options. Asking questions of ourselves can be worthwhile for all of us. Every Blessing,

Did You Know ? That during the 18th century Camelford was an important non conformist centre, with John Wesley visiting and preaching a number of times between 1746 and 1789. The first Methodist Chapel was built on Back Street, and since then it has been known as Chapel Street. Anglican worshippers still had to travel to Lanteglos for their services.

CAMELFORD AND DISTRICT BOWLING CLUB

There are two ECBL matches to report on this week - one which proved to be successful and the second which proved to be a DISASTER! On the 13th came to Camelford for the return fixture and the Camels bagged six of the seven points - a much better result than they achieved at Liskeard - only closely winning the match overall by 70 shots to 64 but winning three rinks. J. Tarrant, F. Bennett, D. Johns, N. Wright lost 14 - 20 A. Simon, E. Cato, R. Staple, S. Hambly won 17 - 12 K. Davey, P. Buck, R. Batt, C. Parsons won 19 - 17 S. Steadman, B. Gardner, M. Tapley, M. Prout won 20 - 15 The disaster occurred two evenings later when visited the Lanteglos Road green, the visitors running rampant over their hosts. The final totals were 67 shots to the Camels and 107 to Bodmin, so certainly a convincing victory - where's the home advantage I hear you cry? S. Steadman, M. Tapley, R. Coleshill, M. Prout lost 16 - 25 R. Shillaber, B. Gardner, F. Bennett, D. Johns lost 15 - 29 K. Davey, P. Buck, R. Batt, C. Parsons lost 22 - 30 A. Simon, E. Cato, R. Staple, S. Hambly lost 14 - 23 The ladies ended their Rippon League season with a good win over Stratton at Camelford on the 14th, getting 28 shots to the visitors' 16. Pat Carter, Liz Staple, Joan Griffiths and Marion Davis, admitted they had a great game - the best of the season - and that they had saved the best till last!

CQC Visit On Friday 7th June the Care Quality Commission visited our premises to carry out inspections at Camelford and St Breward.

Page No. 21 Page No. 22 “Harbour Happenings” It’s hard to believe that the summer holidays are nearly over but what a wonderful summer it has been! We were pleased to host several special events over the past two months. Our fund- raising BBQ in early July for Columbia Childcare was great fun and a great success. Funds were raised for the charity, as was public awareness of the great work being done in Latin America by David Taylor and his family. With so much wonderful sun- shine, we also decided to take a few Souls Harbour services outside of the building. We held open air meetings at Trebarwith and Crackington Haven beaches, including live music and personal stories of life and faith. Our annual children’s holiday club was a fabulous time as well. “Splash” hosted dozens of kids (aged 5 to 11) for an action-packed week of songs, crafts, games, stories and puppets. Whilst the children had loads of fun, they also learned wonderful lessons based on Biblical stories and principles. As school begins, our regular Friday night activities will also resume, including our weekly Xbi children’s club from 6.30pm to 7.30pm and the Solid Rock youth cafe from 5.30pm to 10pm. The cafe serves up fast food until 8pm and the tuck shop is open until the cafe closes at 10pm. With the latest in video gaming, an internet cafe, pool and table tennis, there is always plenty for teens to do at the Solid Rock. On Wednesday, September 18th, we are thrilled to be hosting a concert by professional musician Paul Poulton. Paul is a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, producer and writ- er. With a number of albums to his credit he tours extensively in the USA and UK every year. He uses his superb skills as a guitarist along with humour and observation to pro- duce his unique style. The concert begins at 7pm and tickets will be available for just £5 each. Please come along and invite a friend! We hope you enjoy reading about the ‘happenings’ at Souls Harbour each month, and that you’ll consider joining us sometime. Souls Harbour Church is located on Clease Car Park in Camelford (PL32 9QX).

On Wednesday 4 September we host Godolphin Atlantic in what should be a very entertaining South West Peninsula League Premier Division Floodlit Fixture. 7.30 KO Saturday 7 September we are at home to Athletic in the preliminary round of the FA Vase. This is a national competition for non league clubs, with the final at Wembley, and it is the club’s first appearance in it. The kick off is 3.00 and we would love as many people as possible to come and support their local team in this prestigious competition. Monday 9 September we play EXETER CITY UNDER 21’s in another floodlit fixture, KO 7.00. This is a fantastic opportunity to see our team in action against the best young professionals from a Football League side. Saturday 21 September is the next round of the FA Vase and the winners of our game v Torpoint will be rewarded with a home tie against Shepton Mallett from the Toolstation Western League. Fingers crossed! Saturday 28 we host North Devon side, Witheridge, in another South West Peninsula League Premier Division fixture. There will be Hot and Cold refreshments available at all these matches. Thanking you in anticipation of your support.

THANK YOU for a further £100 received from the ‘purse’ on the bus. It is valued and appreciated. NEWS FROM THE POP-IN Many thanks to the Rotarians for providing the means to continue to pay for the newspaper in the Pop-In for the coming year.

If you haven’t sampled our hospitality yet please do call in and have a tea, coffee, hot chocolate or soup - all at very reasonable prices. Or just relax for a while and read the papers.

We are currently looking for volunteers for Saturday mornings (as from September) from 9.30 am to 12 noon, perhaps on a once a month basis. This is because Jean Stewart and Trudy Mason have had to give up their duties. Our thanks go to them for the many hours of service they have given over the years.
