The Health Centre and other facilities including the W.I Hall and Post Office will be open as usual. The east side of the car park - along the riverbank - will be cordoned off and it will be necessary to close off the footbridge across the riv- er into the car park from the Kerley Vale area . Notices reminding residents in the area of this event will be posted through letter boxes, on notice boards and the village website. Fur- ther, appropriate signage will be sited at prominent positions near to or around the car park during the week prior to commencement of this necessary work. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Chacewater Parish Council in conjunction with Tregothnan Estates The photo opposite shows just how overpowering some of these trees are. But not only that they are dying and already some branches have already fallen - an obvious danger to the vehicles parked below and to pedestrians. 4 It is hoped that when given the light and space that is currently denied them, the remaining indiginous trees will start to flourish. However it is vital that their growth should be monitored and not allowed to cause a similar concern in the future. Mobile Library Service The Mobile Library will visit Chacewater Parish at:- Twelveheads Chapel 11.50 am - 12.10 pm The Car Park in Chacewater Village 1.20 pm - 2.00 pm ~ then onto High View, Blackwater 2.15 pm - 2.35 pm on Thursday 11th October 5 6 P.T.O. 7 8 9 Kernow Microscopical Society The next meeting of the Kernow Microscopical Society will be on Saturday October 20th in the Killifreth room at Chacewater village hall at 2.00pm. We shall be discussing and examining the use of stacking, or Z focus software, as applied to the art of the photomicrography of thick specimens. If you are interested, do come along. You don't need to have a microscope. Our meetings focus on the practical aspects of microscopy; we try to have workshops, using microscopes and exploring methods of preparing specimen slides to view. Our members include professional microscopists who can assist with queries on instruments and microscopical techniques. At the last meeting, pond weed from Pendarves Lake, near Camborne, was examined to see what microorganisms were attached. The outflow water was also examined. Both were first concentrated by settlement. The outflow water was especially rich in Protozoa. We are regularly examining this freshwater lake and recording the microscopical organisms in it. Very often, the smallest, microscopical, wildlife is never recorded, so we can add to the wildlife survey. We are currently actively searching for new members and would be very happy to welcome you. Have a look at our 2018 events diary at http://kernowmicroscopy.webplus.net to see our meetings for the rest of the year. You can also email us at [email protected]. We look forward to welcoming more of you to our meetings. Tea and biscuits are available too!

We set off as usual at 9.30.am and ambled off down the Twelveheads Road, for about a third of a mile, before moving on up and all the way along Public Byway 301/36/1. Eventually emerging out on the Creegbrawse to Twelveheads skyline road, from we took the opportunity to view huge sections of the Poldice Valley below as well as the fabulous scenery beyond, which reflects so much of our historic past. Absorbed for a moment, we soon headed off right towards the Church Hill crossing where we turned down left towards Todpool. What a view! A gateway just above Todpool with super views down across to the Unity Wood area.
