ST ERME SILVER CIRCLE Meetings are held in St Erme Village Hall on the 1st Thursday of each month. Doors open at 2.00pm for a 2.30pm start unless otherwise stated

The group has been very busy since the last report. The visit from the Cober Valley Accordion Band sadly was slightly down on attendance as we had a number of members out of action. Jo, our leader, was finally admitted to hospital for her surgery (and I am pleased to report is improving slowly) . We are anxious to see her back in charge. Other members had holiday commitments or visitors but we enjoyed a really super afternoon with a good sing-a -long. The proceeds of the Raffle and Bring and Buy were donated to Lindseys sponsored swim. Our official August meeting was a mini bus trip professionally organised by Geoff - a return visit to Fistral Bay Hotel, for a delicious . We were treated like landed gentry and enjoyed a taste of gracious living. The September meeting will be our Harvest Auction with Ernie as Auctioneer. We are breaking with tradition slightly as we intend to start with a Harvest Lunch instead of afternoon tea. That meeting will start earlier at 12 Noon for 12.30pm. The Mini Bus has been busy if not always completely filled. The Afternoon Tea at the Old Rectory, St Clements, was delightful. We all took our sun hats and some sat outside while others took to the shade inside. We then strolled round the lovely garden - absolutely idyllic. Our next trip was to Griggs Farm Shop which we all enjoyed and we have more outings in the pipe line - watch this space! We are planning a sale of good Bric-a-Brac at the Community Center on September 14th - donations welcome to support our outings. The Silver Circle stall at the Fun Day was successful and we thank Carol an Geoff for their efforts in raising over £60. As mentioned, the next meeting is Harvest Lunch & Auction followed in October by a Fish & Chip Lunch. Again NOTE THE TIME CHANGES to 12 Noon for 12.30pm start. Our love of good food is once again apparent in this report and looks to be continuing in the future. Do come and join us as you will have a great time.

All residents (aged 55 or over) are welcome to join the Silver Circle For more information ring Jo Collins - 01872 321599 or Margaret Simmonds - 01872 241671

Lindsey's Sponsored 2.25 mile Thames Swim

We are delighted to report that the swim was completed on 20th July in 2hr 33mins 54secs. The sum raised in Tony Simmons' memory has reached £1,000 (and still rising) for Cancer Research. Sincere and grateful thanks to all who donated, the members of the Silver Circle, the patrons of the Clock and Key and the generous residents of the village. Thank you all.

St Erme Village Hall

Hello Everyone, We have had quite a busy time at the Hall during the last three months since the last Village Voice was published, The Craft Fair held on 31 May was busy again and we raised £100-50 from the sale of refreshments and £35 the tables hiring, all will be going towards the new toilets; our next project. The bookings during June were our regulars WI, Silver Circle and Short Mat Bowling, as well as Parish Council meetings and a Wind Turbine consultation. July we had a booking for a four day training course for a local organisation, who will be coming back to us next month.

August is usually a slow month and we can then have maintaince jobs done, so we have had the hall redecorated, by a volunteer from the committee during this time; so all nice and smart for the new season. But also we have had bookings for various functions and children's parties duing the month so not so quiet after all!

Looking forward to the end of the month we have another Craft Fair to be held on August 30 so look forward to seeing everyone. On September 26 we are having a Folk Night with the West Jolly Sailors Group for your entertainment and there will be for sale at £2.50. Tickets can be pre-booked at a cost of £5.00 which will help us know the number of pasties we need to order.

October is beginning to look busy and on November 9 we are having in conjunction with the Church and the chapel, a dedication for WW1 Veterans, if anyone has any information of those from the village who served please contact us so we can include their names in our Roll of Honour we are having a slate plaque engraved to place on the Hall, to commemarate its WWI origins.

Autumn is a great time of year to dish up a good apple crumble, but why not have a go at this easy and yummy sundae which is a variation on one of our favourite puds!

Ingredients...

Crumble mixture • 100g plain flour • 50g diced soft butter 50g sugar Apple Sauce • 4 cooking apples, peeled, cored and chopped 75g caster sugar • 1 tsp water Will also need..... • A bottle of ready made toffee sauce • Your favourite vanilla ice cream

So, to do it.... 1. Place the apples, sugar and water into a medium sized pan. Cook over a gentle heat for about 12 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 2. Put the flour and butter into a large bowl and rub them together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar. 3. Preheat the oven to 200c. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and pour the crumble mixture evenly on top. Cook for about 8 – 10 minutes until golden. 4. Leave the apple sauce to cool off, and using a fork, break up the cooled crumble topping. 5. Layer your bowls with apple sauce, crumble topping, ice cream and toffee sauce. Then sit back and enjoy!!

Dreckly,

The Farmer’s Wife.

St Erme Women's Institute

Our speaker in July was Mr J. M. Ellis. Although he was born in Leicester he spent his boyhood in Norwich during World War 2. Mr Ellis told many amusing stories of how he and his friends spent their leisure time when not at school. Life was not so blissful for their parents who were under pressure to feed, clothe and keep their families safe. He told of the Anderson shelters, ration books, identity card, the shortage of food milk and clothing. Mr Ellis gave a us an insight into the hardships of every day life during the war and of how people coped with the little they had. It was an extremely informative and interesting evening.

Saturday July 26th was the village Fun Day. Once again our WI joined in the festivities on the field by holding a successful raffle.

August is the month we visit the theatre. This year we are going to the Lane Theatre, Newquay on August 27th to see the production of "Dress Rehearsal".
