Tam Kernewek Tam Kernewek “ A bit of Cornish” Volume 30 Issue 2 Summer 2012 Budget 2012: Cornish Pasty Tax Hot Cornish pasties sold in supermarkets could be subject to 20% VAT. Imposing VAT on hot food such as Cornish pasties sold in supermarkets has been attacked by politicians in Corn- wall. The Office of Tax Simplification said the savoury favourites should be subject to 20% VAT. The proposals to end "anomalies" in VAT were revealed in the Budget on Wednesday by Chancellor George Osborne. Cornwall councilors say a rise would hit jobs in the county and the cash locals have to spend. Cornish American Heritage Society Cornish American Heritage Jean Ellis and Jeanette Medlin present the petition to Jean Charman Camborne Mayor 21 Tax con’t: Jean Ellis and Jan Medlyn from Calumet, Michigan are so Liberal Democrat Alex Folkes said: "Pasties aren't just a proud of their Cornish connections, they gathered a peti- symbol of Cornwall, they are a key part of our manufactur- tion of 500 signatures to show their support.

Research in 2005 by Cornwall Taste of the West showed the Cornish pasty was worth more than £150m a year to the county's economy. About 600 protesters marched through Falmouth. They were campaigning against the government’s plans to ex- tend the VAT to all hot food with the exception of freshly baked bread. The march was organized by Cornish enter- tainer Edward Rowe. Hundreds of bakers from across the country protested at Downing Street against the plans. Bakers, politicians and tax experts in Devon and Cornwall have said they will continue to protest against the so-called ‘pasty tax.’ 22 BBC Cornwall President’s Message According to our Mission Statement, the CAHS is "to encourage informational and social gather- ings on a scheduled basis." Our main event and opportunity to bring our affiliated Cornish societies is, of course, the biennial "Gathering of Cornish Cousins". At present, we have no groups or parties interested in hosting. Can you be the 2013 host? If you have any interest, please contact me! The board has been discussing variations of the 2011 Gathering to make it easier: meet at a university setting, meet for a shorter period of time, have main speakers instead of sessions, meet a year later in 2014 to give the host more time… the flexibility is there! It is so important that we don't lose our main physical connection! Thank you for your consideration. It always seems like another milestone when the Cornish Society of Greater Milwaukee holds its annual pasty luncheon. It's on the last Saturday of April and is always memorable, not only for the fellowship and pasty, but it marks spring in its full glory and the southern Milwaukee area is in full bloom. I was asked to speak on the state of Cornish societies, and this gave me a good opportunity to do a little research and a lot of thinking. In our digital age, our ability to do research, be it genealogical or otherwise, has become astound- ing. The increase of family history web site visitors has steadily increased… visits to newer ones, such as Archives.com and My Heritage.com have doubled in the past couple of years. The big one: Ancestry.com increased 21%. Our abilities to preserve and archive materials is astounding. Over 160,000,000 records were indexed in 2010 alone. Worrisome, however, is that the general trend of societies like ours has declined. In "Creative Gene," the blogger Jasia states some reasons why this is happening: She states that, mainly due to tech- nology, people have more limited options for connecting with others… that is, in the real world. Tech- nology gives us the ability to have contact with practically everyone in the world from our favorite chair in front of the computer. Unfortunately, escaping from the home means we might have to commit… commit to paying dues, to attending meetings, and "to actually contribute to the betterment of the organ- ization by actively participating in achieving its purpose." (See: http://creativegene.blogspot.com/2006/08/decline-in-genealogical-society.html ) Many of us might see these commitments as a chance to share our time and resources. In another blog: "Anglo-Celtic Connections," John Reid offers some questions and suggestions to ascertain if our societies are doing what they can to stay afloat. A few of them follow: -Can you measure the success of what your society is set to do? If you can't measure it, you can't manage it. -If you keep on doing the same thing, you're going to keep on getting the same result. Societies need to periodically take a hard look at where they are and set measureable goals for the future, both near and far. -Are new members attracted to the society? Are they made to feel welcome? Is the society working to make sure they are reaching their personal goals? 23 Message con’t: -Is the society using the new technologies? Is the web site up-to-date, attractive, and easy to use? Can members see what is going on (both events and thoughts within the group) by using the web site? Societies with great programs attract members. These are at least some ideas to keep in our minds, when it our membership is waning, and we question where our society is going. Fortunately, it seems the Cornish Society of Great Milwaukee is holding strong: Membership and financ- es are maintaining themselves, thanks to Joe Trewyn and Tom Rowe and their supporters. The Spring Pasty Luncheon was a success and gave us all a chance to see old friends (and some new) and get recon- nected with our Cornish roots.

  • St Keverne Wesleyan Church Newspaper Extracts
    ST KEVERNE WESLEYAN CHURCH – EXTRACTS FROM NEWSPAPERS Contributed by Terry Moyle Royal Cornwall Gazette 2 March 1872 ALARMING ACCIDENT AT ST KEVERNE The Wesleyan Methodist Chapel is now undergoing repairs and is temporarily closed. The Wesleyans have borrowed a chapel in the village built some years ago by the United Methodists but now disused by this connection. On Sunday evening there was a crowded congregation in this place of worship and all the aisles were fully occupied. Shortly after the service was commenced by the Rev G Cartwright, superintendent minister, a slight cracking sound was heard. This was followed by a louder crack and the whole of the back row of pews in the gallery disappeared, then the second row and soon the gallery became a complete wreck. The gallery that gave way is not an erection on pillars but the pews rise step by step from the floor, occupying about a third of the length of the chapel. Royal Cornwall Gazette 17 August 1872 St Keverne Wesleyan Sunday School tea treat at Kennack Cornish Telegraph 6 January 1887 ST KEVERNE The Wesleyans of St Keverne last week held a bazaar with the object of obtaining money to reduce the debt in their place of worship. Mrs. Bickford‐Smith of Trevarno opened the bazaar and the sum of £56 was realized. Considering the agricultural depression the amount obtained was most satisfactory. Cornish Telegraph 3 September 1891 ST KEVERNE The new Wesleyan minister – the Rev J W Graves, the newly appointed Wesleyan minister before leaving Devonport was presented by the friends at Kerstreet with an electroplated inkstand and a pair of gold rimmed spectacles and the friends at Kingsand gave the Rev gentleman a purse of gold as an expression of their love and respect towards him.

  • 1 20 : Cornish Migration Patterns 1 : Context So Far Much of the Work
    1 20 : Cornish Migration patterns 1 : Context So far much of the work which CASA (though not Kevin Schurer) has presented (in this seminar) has been at been at a fairly coarse level of geographic resolution, namely the GB postal area. In this section we wish to consider what additional understanding we can obtain by examining name distributions at a finer level of geographic resolution, for example by going down to the level of parliamentary constituency (of which there are currently 659) in Great Britain), to the level of the post town (around 2000), the postcode sector (of which there are around 9000) and even the half sector (of which there are around 130,000) The subject of this more detailed analysis is the parliamentary constituency of Falmouth and Camborne in the county of Cornwall (see Map one) which contained 57,837 electors on the 1998 electoral roll. Map One : Falmouth and Camborne parliamentary constituency This part of Britain is interesting for a number of reasons. Many of the place names in the constituency originate from the Cornish language. These have given rise to a number of toponymic surnames which are peculiar to Cornwall. Many other surnames in this part of Britain are of Breton origin, reflecting the close cultural and trading connections between the two Celtic regions. Camborne in particular is the historic centre of the Cornish mining industry. The extraction of tin and copper has been an important source of income in Cornwall since pre-Roman times and by the early nineteenth century Cornwall was Britain’s most industrialised county, which is one of the reasons why John Wesley found it such a fertile region for his preaching.
