We are looking forward to seeing all the regular trade stalls and hopefully some new ones. There are some very interesting crafts booking in to the craft tent and for a new display this year we have a Wild West Village to show us how it was done. Fingers crossed for the arrival of the helicopter which always raises a lot of interest and we are grateful to RAF Shawbury for their continued support. Last year as most of you will remember we had rather a lot of rain on the Sunday which left the field very wet and muddy for the Monday, but still the visitors came and most people said they had a good time in the mud, but we have to say that in these weather conditions many of the sideshows like bouncy castles etc cannot open, this is due to health and safety and completely out of our hands, so we do ask the public to try to understand as we do not want accidents if they can be avoided. As usual we have kept our entrance fee to the same £3.50 adult, £2.50 OAP, children over 7 £1.50 . This year we will be raising funds for Derriford Hospital Oncology & Chemotherapy Unit and Cornwall Air Ambulance.

  • Flood Investigation Report 2014
    Information Classification: CONTROLLED Flood Investigation Reports 2014 Last updated: 23/04/2018 Overview 2014 January 2014 was officially the wettest January in the south of England since records began in 1767 and the winter of 2013/14 was the wettest winter on record, at the time. In addition to this, the year started with an unprecedented series of Atlantic depressions and swells leading to huge storm surges coupled with extremely high tides and record breaking wave heights. Eight individual storms swept over the region during January and February resulting in coastal flooding particularly during the periods 2nd - 9th January (Atlantic Storm Hercules), 1st - 5th February (referred to as Hercules 2 or Bridget) and 14 February (dubbed the St Valentines Storm). Wave damage also impacted on defences on 23 February and 1st to the 5th March. During this period around 360 properties in Cornwall flooded. The cost of repairs to damaged sea defences in Cornwall was estimated to be in excess of £21 million. A summary of the impacts that these storms had in Cornwall can be accessed in this document. 2 to 9 January During this period the Environment Agency issued a “Very Severe” flood warning for both coasts. Looe was particularly badly affected with around 60 properties flooding on each high tide. In addition to the significant floods, below, sea defences were badly damaged at Seaton, Newquay and Portreath and there was considerable storm damage in St Ives. • Flood Investigation Report for Fowey (3 January 2014) • Flood Investigation Report for Looe (3 January 2014) • Flood Investigation Report for Polperro (9 January 2014) • Flood Investigation Report for Porthleven (3 January 2014) 1 to 5 February In St Ives and St Mawes waves damaged properties and smashed windows, flooding homes.
