Annual Report 2016 Contents Presidents Report Photo by ESP ART ANNUAL REPORT 2016 CONTENTS PRESIDENTS REPORT PRESIDENT Pete Gaisford CONTENTS Leadership is the key to a successful club, whether it be Football, Rugby or a Lifesaving club. Get the leadership right and the rest will follow. I am pleased WHO WE ARE to write that the management of the Perranporth Surf Lifesaving Club is in the PRESIDENT’S REPORT 3 good hands of a hardworking and motivated committee. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT 4 CAPTAIN’S REPORT 6 It is significant to note the commitment of the current chair Doreen Law- SECRETARY’S REPORT 8 rence. Doreen is a “hands on chair” and fully conversant with all aspects of the club activities. Doreen also ensures that all club members sign in on the youth WHAT WE DO and senior training evenings in the summer and at the swimming pool in the LIFESAVING REPORT 9 winter.

MEMBERSHIP REPORT 30 The Friday evening sessions are managed by Anita Fleet and this section of the TREASURER’S REPORT 31 club has grown significantly. OUR SUPPORTERS 32 ACCOUNTS (Attached) In all areas and ages the club has done well and continues to build on solid foundations. There was one telling remark I overheard one evening at a BBQ. “This is such a social club and so enjoyable to be part of”. This is also a sig- nificant factor in the club’s success. The kitchen skills of the club cake bakers have to be seen to be believed and are utilised to raise funds for the club. I believe the club is in good hands and strikes the right balance between train- ing, competition, qualifications and simply having fun. Get all these ingredients right and you have a lifesaving club that people want to join and to be part of. 2 Perranporth Surf Lifesaving Club 2016 Annual Report 3 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT CHAIRMANS REPORT Doreen the petrol head “It still works!” CHAIR Doreen Lawrence Another two years have passed and I was once again on Official at the World Surf Life Saving Competition in the Netherlands. Great Britain had a Youth and Open team, and the Master Competition had many Clubs taking part from the UK as well as in the Inter Clubs. If you ever have a chance to go, at any age, please do, it’s a great experience. (This was my seventh and I have Gold Medals, wasn't always old) Also while in Holland I ticked off something from the Bucket List I drove an IRB at full throttle - Eat your heart out Rob Farr and Nigel Bowden!! As always I have been involved with Youth on Tuesday and Wednesday nights - just being a nuisance! I have an ipad with me where I do the risk assessments and registration and send them straight to the Secretary, no paper and done on the night. Things do progress every year! I hope to be your Chairman for the next year, if you all agree. Perhaps the next 100 years! - You should be so lucky. 4 Perranporth Surf Lifesaving Club 2016 Annual Report 5 CAPTAINS REPORT CAPTAINS REPORT 2015 AWARDS THE ADAMS AWARD Most improved lady of the Year Lara Beech ‘CLUBBIE’ OF THE YEAR Spike Gaisford and Trevor Minors Spike Gaisford and Trevor Andrea Commons Barry Frost George Hudson and Matt Sanwell Anita Fleet and Barry Frost BOARD PADDLER OF THE CAPTAIN YEAR Matt Sanwell Faye Betty ‘BOATIE’ OF THE YEAR So, my first year as Perranporth Surf Lifesaving Club’s captain has now passed.

As per normal 2016 has been another busy year for the Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club with another 12 months 10 members of the club have worked of hard work and commitment.

We see ourselves as part of a story of the grace of God, made manifest in Cornwall, which stretches back many hundreds of years, possibly to the very earliest days of the Christian faith. It’s a story that calls us on into the future too, in loving mission, ministry and service. As we follow ‘The Saints Way’ we will be deeply committed to Christ and to all that he calls us to be and to do; and to Cornwall, this very special place with its own particular culture, history and identity. We can only follow that Way faithfully if we see it as our corporate calling, as the body of Christ. So we encourage ministers of the gospel to come and join us here who are committed to setting the whole people of God free in their God-given calling, to make Christ known here in Cornwall, today. So we seek clergy of missional imagination and heart; those with a pastoral passion for people and communities and their flourishing.

  • 6 Romano-British (AD 43 – 410)
    Isles of Scilly Historic Environment Research Framework: Resource Assessment and Research Agenda 6 Romano-British (AD 43 – 410) Edited by Charles Johns from contributions from Sarnia Butcher, Kevin Camidge, Dan Charman, Ralph Fyfe, Andy M Jones, Steve Mills, Jacqui Mulville, Henrietta Quinnell, and Paul Rainbird. 6.1 Introduction Although Scilly was a very remote part of the Roman Empire it occupied a pivotal position on the Atlantic façade along the routes of trade and cultural interchange between Brittany and Western Britain; unlike Cornwall, however, it was not a source of streamed tin. The cultural origins of Roman Scilly are rooted in the local Iron Age but sites can be identified which reflect the cult practices of the wider Roman world. Charles Thomas (1985, 170-2) envisaged Roman Scilly as a place of pilgrimage, dominated by a shrine to a native marine goddess at Nornour in the Eastern Isles. The rich Roman finds from that site are among the most iconic and enigmatic emblems of Scilly’s archaeological heritage. The main characteristics of Scilly’s Romano-British (AD 43 to AD 410) resource are summarised in this review. Fig 6.1 Iron Age and Romano-British sites recorded in the Scilly HER 6.2 Landscape and environmental background Results from the Lyonesse Project (Charman et al 2012) suggest that the present pattern of islands was largely formed by this period, although the intertidal zone was much greater in extent (Fig 6.2). Radiocarbon dating and environmental analysis of the lower peat deposit sample from Old Town Bay, St Mary’s, i n 1997 indicated that from the Late Iron Age to the early medieval period the site consisted of an area of shallow freshwater surrounded by a largely open landscape with arable fields and pasture bordering the wetland (Ratcliffe and Straker 1998, 1).

By Marta Pérez-Fernández A thesis submitted to the Plymouth University in partial fulfilment for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty of Science and Technology August 2013 Marta Pérez-Fernández A Palaeoecological approach to understanding the impact of coastal changes in Late Holocene societies using the Isles of Scilly as a case study. 1 ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the impact of environmental changes (relative sea level increase and climate) on coastal communities and to investigate how these environmental factors controlled subsistence economies through the Holocene. The hypothesis tested was that relative sea level rise is a key factor influencing location and subsistence strategies of coastal communities throughout the Holocene and that, due to environmental conditions, these changes will be more evident in islands.

The week from January 18th to January 25th has long been an occasion when we can spend time in worship & fellowship with our fellow Christians from other churches in Helston. It was actually a former priest from St Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, Father John Richardson, who suggested that a good way for the different churches to meet would be over lunch each day during the week of prayer, preceded by a short act of worship in each church.
