November, the month of Guy Fawkes & Remembrance Sunday. May I say to those of you who have never seen the remembrance parade in Launceston, it is a sight that is truly moving, and if you get the chance, go and see it. (see page 7)

I have been pleased to add more adverts from local people this month, and it is funding from these that keep this gazette going, so thank you, and good luck. Please also read the bit on Tradesmen on front cover.

I am now stocking coal and logs for those chilly nights, here at the shop, and also bird food, plus I have managed to get recycling bags if you want to come here and collect them.

This months edition has once again been a little time consuming, to say the least! Has no one got anything to say honestly? Not been anywhere to talk about it, Got nothing to sell? It really is soul destroying spending so many hours on the internet looking for something to fill these pages with, so I have decided to give this until Christmas, and see if things look up. If in the meantime, if someone else would like to take this on, please get in touch with me.

May I ask that we all look out for one another in these times, Help comes in all shapes and sizes. Lets give without expecting a return, make time count.

PAGE 40 PAGE 9 Remember, Remember the FiFth oF November… Nursery Rhyme & History Guy Fawkes & the Gunpowder Plot!

Words of “remember, remember” refer to Guy Fawkes with origins in 17th century English history. On the 5th November 1605 Guy Fawkes was caught in the cellars of the Houses of Parliament with several dozen barrels of gunpowder. Guy Fawkes was subsequently tried as a traitor with his co-conspirators for plotting against the government. He was tried by Judge Popham who came to London specifically for the triel from his country manor Littlecote House in Hungerford, Glouces- tershire. Fawkes was sentenced to death and the form of exacution was one of the most horrendous ever practiced (hung, drawn, and quartered) which reflects the serious nature of the crime of treason. The tradition begins…. The following year in 1606 it became an annual custom for the King and Parliament to commission a sermon to commemorate the event. Lancelot Andrews delivered the first of many Gunpowder Plot ser- mons. This practice, together with the nursery rhyme, ensured that this crime would never be forgotten! Hence the words “remember, Re- member the 5th of November”. The poem is sometimes referred to as “Please to remember the 5th of November”. It serves as a warning to each new generation that treason will never be forgotten. In England the 5th of November is still commemorated each year with Helping sole traders, partnerships and limited companies in Cornwall with: fireworks and bonfires culminating with the burning of effigies of Guy All aspects of accounting Fawlkes (the guy). The guys are made by children by filling old clothes Bookkeeping Tax planning and annual returns with crumpled newspapers to look like a man. VAT Tradition allows British children to display their “Guy” to passers-by Payroll Auditing and asking for “A penny for the Guy”

Launceston Group of Friends of Children’s Hospice South West is a small but dedicate group of volunteers who arrange events, attend shows and fairs and generally promote the Children’s Hospice SW in and around Launceston. The group founded nearly 20 years ago and has been very successful at raising much needed funds, sending on average around £20,000 per year to the Children’s Hospice. The group, along with all the other Friends Groups in Cornwall, has worked very hard with the Precious Live Appeal (now closed) which raised the funds to build a new hospice in Cornwall which will be opening its doors to the first children in December. They are delighted with the new hospice and now need to set about raising funds to run it. The group is organising 4 events leading up to Christmas. These are the Hand Made Christmas at Commbeshead, the Christmas Market at Arundell Arms, the Christmas Market at Dingles Fairgound Heritage Centre and last but certainly not least the Annual Carol Service also at Din- gles. The Hand Made Christmas is on 12th and 13th November at Coombeshead, Nr . 10am – 4pm both days. Entry is £3 per adult and children are free. Two days for families to enjoy learning the skills to make their own or to buy hand made presents, decorations and food. The Christmas Market at Dingles Fairground Heritage Centre is on 10th December from 10am – 4pm, £3 entry for adults and children are free. Bring the children along to meet Father Christ- mas and browse the stalls to purchase your hand made Christmas gifts. Sunday 11th December sees the annual Carol Concert at Dingles Fairground, more details next month. Should you require any further information about events please contact Jacki Ellis-Martin on 01566 774902 or for general information contact Lavinia Archer on 01566 772845
