PARISH NEWS 65p AND RUAN LANIHORNE JUNE 2015

TWO ‘NEW TRADITIONS’! The ‘merry month of May’ saw two events in Veryan which could well become ‘traditions’ - the May fair and maypole dancing in the Hall, and the Rogation Sunday ‘beating the bounds’ of the parish.

And please - don’t be shy, we do need as may helpers as we can get - setting up, helping on stalls and clearing away afterwards.

From the editor

It hardly seems possible that I have been involved in ‘Parish news’ since the mid-1980s - initially writing an article each month, and from 1997 acting as co-editor with Graham Salmon, when we were responsible for the maga- zine in alternate months, then with Brian Perman, who took the bold – and successful – decision to change the format from A5 to A4 and increase the number of pages to 16. In recent years I’ve been the sole editor. It is a commitment - but it is enjoyable and satisfying, especially producing the full colour version for the church websites, and our printers are exceptionally helpful; but it is time to look for new blood, new ideas and a new editor. This month if all is well I shall have lived on this earth for three quarters of a century, and I still have a long list of projects that I would like to achieve, which were on my ‘wish list’ when I retired 15 years ago. Is there anyone who would like to take on the production of the magazine on an ‘alternate months’ basis, as we used to do back in the last century? It would be wonderful to find a new co-editor in time for next year, to take on the issues for January, March, May, July, September and November - I would continue to produce the other months’ issues. Or maybe - wonder of wonders – we might have someone who would take on the whole production? If nobody wants the rôle then it is likely that ‘Parish News’ will in 2016 appear from the computer of the current editor every two months, instead of as a monthly magazine, so that ‘news’ would not be ‘new’, and notices of forthcoming events would have to be supplied well in advance. The sub- scription would be less, but so would advertising income. The other option is to cease publication altogether - Fr Doug and I would be grateful for our readers’ comments!

What we didn’t expect was the variety of sections of the boundary walked by people of a wide age range - ‘according to ability’ or inclination! Friends from three parishes (Veryan, Philleigh and Ruan) set off from Pendower after a short service led by Fr Doug. A few walked up the valley to Melinsey, and then home, while the Philleigh and Veryan groups separated to go their own ways at the top of Crugsillack. One new walker joined us at Highlanes, and several completed their walk when they reached the planned ‘end point’ at Beruppa. More intrepid walkers continued to Tregony, several more brave souls continued to West Portholland. The youngest walker, who made it from Pendower to Beruppa, was 9 years old, the old- est, who walked from Pendower to Melinsey, was nearly 80. It was by general consent ‘a lovely day’: the weather was just right, the flowers, trees and birdsong helped us along our way, and the unexpected views from high ground were glorious - especially seeing Probus church tower in the distance. We are hoping to compile a record of the walk, out of interest and for future reference - we already have a good number of photographs taken by walkers along the way, but would love to hear your thoughts, comments, and to receive any more photographs that There should soon be you would be happy to share.
