PUBLIC MEETING
TINTAGEL PARISH COUNCIL ARE CONSIDERING PRODUCING A NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLAN
YOU ARE INVITED TO A PUBLIC MEETING AT
TINTAGEL SOCIAL HALL
WEDNESDAY 29TH JANUARY 2014 7.00 P.M.
COME ALONG AND HAVE YOUR SAY OR TO OFFER HELP
NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT PLANS
A Neighbourhood Development Plan is important as it enables local residents to have control of the environment and development in the local area. Without an approved plan there is virtually nothing the community can do to influence the development of housing, infrastructure, amenities and the environment. However, without the active involvement and support of local residents it will not be possible to complete the Plan, obtain approval and ensure that it is embodied in the Cornwall Council Plan as a legal document that has to be recognised in all future development approvals. Tintagel Parish Council will be mailing every household in the Parish shortly explaining the Plan along with a very short response form inviting offers of help. Do you have Project Management skills, IT skills or are you interested in helping to gather information to produce the plan? Creating a Neighbourhood Development Plan is a local community led process by the people for the people. Tintagel Parish Council cannot proceed with a Neighbourhood Development Plan without a high level of support and community involvement from the people of the parish.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF CAMELFORD
CITIZEN OF THE YEAR AWARD
The President of the Rotary Club of Camelford presenting the Citizen of the Year Award and Citation to Gladys Cook from Tintagel for her services to the community. Gladys with her team of helpers has raised thousands of pounds over the years for many charities, local and overseas.
The Rotary Club of Camelford honoured a lady of Tintagel recently by choosing her as their Citizen of the Year for 2013. The Rotary Club make a presentation to someone in their area who they consider has provided exceptional service to the community.
At their Christmas dinner they presented the award to Gladys Cook. This lady has over the past years been instrumental in raising many thousands of pounds for numerous charities in the village, throughout the county and also the country. Gladys has lived in the village since she married David and moved here from Michaelstow over 50 years ago. It is well known that if you wish to have an event that requires food in particular, Gladys is the person you need at the helm. She will always say that nothing could be achieved without the help of all the helpers but as we all know the ship needs a captain at its head. The charities that have been helped are too numerous to list but range from the local Chapel to the Royal British Legion for which she was Poppy Appeal organiser for over 30 years, Shelterbox, many cancer charities, hospices, etc.
Tintagel is proud to have one of its citizens named as Citizen of the Year. Well done Gladys.

Welcome back to everyone after the Christmas break which all seems so long ago. Our Christmas Production of “The Magical Christmas Jigsaw” was a great success which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. The children decided that this year the collection from the performances and the raffle would go to Shelterbox. With an extra collection on the last day of term we managed to raise enough to purchase our own Shelterbox which we will be able to track! A huge thank you to everyone who donated.
Class 3 and 4 went on our annual visit to the pantomime which this year was Cinderella at the Hall for Cornwall. They also visited Eirenikon for carol singing. On the last day of term children played party games and discoed in the afternoon as well as receiving a special visitor to the school…Father Christmas!
Since our return to school in January we have already started our new intense daily swimming lessons at Camelford Leisure Centre. We would also like to remind you to make use of the Free Family Primary Swims which are on Mondays 3:45-5pm. These are open to any family who has a child attending any feeder primary for Sir James Smiths School.

There was an excellent turn out this year with Club Members joined by locals and visitors spurred on by plenty of support from the spectators.

Do You Remember Itma?
I loved ITMA!. On a Thursday evening during the War years and after, in Tintagel, I would listen every Thursday evening from 8.30pm till 9.00pm, to my favourite radio programme. I can remember that Sunday evening January 9th 1949, when on the 6 o’clock news on the BBC Home Service, the announcer said ‘The death is announced of Mr Thomas Handley, the comedian’. I said to my parents that can’t be Tommy Handley but sadly it was. Tommy was only 56 years, 11 months and 23 days old. He died of a Brain Haemorrhage.
He had just celebrated the 310th performance of Itma and seemed to be his usual bubbly self. The show ran from July 1939 to January 6th 1949, with short breaks.
I am sure those who lived through the difficult war years thoroughly enjoyed their weekly topical radio show and it cheered the country up. It was quick fire comedy with an array of larger than life comic characters. Those characters included Mr Mopp, Colonel Chinstrap, Funf, Mona Lott and Fusspot. Amongst the cast were Jack Train, Deryk Gyler and Maurice Denham (who played the Char Lady, Mrs Lola Tickle). Catchphrases were a critical part of the show and do you remember ‘Can I Do Yer Now Sir?’ (Mrs Mopp), ‘I Don’t Mind If I Do’ (Colonel Chinstrap), ‘Ta-ta For Now or TTFN as it was better known (also Mrs Mopp), ‘It’s Me Noives’ (Lefty), ‘It’s Being So Cheerful That Keeps Me Going’ (Mona Lott), After You Claude – No, After you Cecil’ and ‘Zis Is Funf Speaking’ (Jack Train).
Itma’s brilliances was a combination of the star. Tommy Handley, and the writer Ted Kavanagh. It was he who took the title from a phrase invented by the Daily express in its headlines about Herr Hitler-‘IT’S THAT MAN AGAIN’ Sir William Haley, then the BBC’s Director General, came to the microphone on the Thursday following Tom’s death, and made a very simple and moving speech. In it he finished with the words ‘There will never be anyone quite like That Man again’…he was so right. In those days the humour was gentle and funny. unlike the majority of so called comedians today, who think if foul language is not used, they would not be so funny. How pathetic, and I wonder what Tommy Handley would have thought of them!!

Tintagel Sea Angling Club Newsletter
http://www.facebook.com/TintagelSeaAnglingClub
A happy New Year to you all from everyone at Tintagel Sea Angling Club.
Sea temperatures have just dipped below double figures at 90C at the time of writing which is relatively mild for January. The usual winter species are present and whiting dab, codling, haddock, coalfish and flounder are all being recorded around our shores.
The Fish of the month winner in November was Iain Mackay with a new club boat record haddock of 4lb 12 ½ ozs. Nigel Rundle won the flatfish of the month in December with a flounder of 2lb 2ozs. The end of year results are now complete and Nigel won boat angler of the year, shore angler of the year and the overall angler of the year. A full roll of honour will be posted in the next journal newsletter following the presentation evening.

Tintagel SAC held their Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 7th January 2014 at the Wootons Hotel, Tintagel. It was extremely well attended and everyone is looking forward to the new season with an increased number of boat trips and club weekend matches. We have again affiliated to both the Angling Trust http://www.anglingtrust.net/ and the Cornish Federation of Sea Anglers who have a new website at http://cornishfed.weebly.com/ New members are always welcome.
The efforts of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstal with his “Fish Fight” achieved over 870,000 signatures and changed Europe’s fishery laws. The European Parliament has rubber-stamped the new Common Fisheries Policy which came into force on January 1st. This is a fantastic step taken towards ending fish discards at sea. Quite a result for people power and policy making. If you want to find out more please visit http://www.fishfight.net/

Page 14
The Cornish Federation of Sea Anglers has also been active in the area of conservation and fisheries protection during 2013. They have reviewed the species list and made several changes including raising the minimum landing size of bass to 3lb. They have also submitting a petition to the Cornwall Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authority requesting the prohibition of all entanglement, enmeshing and surround netting in Cornish waters inside the ten metre depth contour as per Chart Datum. The petition attracted fantastic support from the public and particular thanks go to Dave Williams and all the staff at Camping Sport & Leisure of Tintagel who hosted the petition locally.
The club will be holding there annual presentation evening on Friday 7th February at the Wootons Hotel, Tintagel from 7.30pm. This is an informal evening and anyone interested is most welcome to attend. Our guest speaker this year is the esteemed David Robson (nom de plume).

‘Every six seconds, somebody contacts Samaritans’. An incredible statement that shows the importance of our organisation.
Cornwall Samaritans was established back in the early 70’s and has gone from strength to strength, in fact last year nearly 53,000 callers contacted us at our branch in Treyew Road, Truro. So who are we and what do we do?
All Samaritans operate on the guiding principles of the founder Chad Varah. By active listening, exploring feelings, options and support, the caller will hopefully find their distress reduced and have a better understanding of their situation. Samaritans don’t give advice or impose their personal views all in complete and absolute confidence. Samaritans are just ordinary people who have undergone intensive training enabling them to listen actively. It’s not work for everyone but obviously it can be very rewarding work.
People contact us when things are getting to them and remember you don’t have to be feeling suicidal to call us. We’re here for everyone, whatever your problems and you can talk to a volunteer whenever you like. We’re here 24 hours a day every single day of the year.
So how do you contact us either as a caller or as a potential volunteer ? We’d love to hear from you either on our local tel.number 01872 277277 or the national helpline
08457 909090 or by email [email protected]. Remember Samaritans are always there for you every night and day.

TINTAGEL GARDEN CLUB
Our annual cheese, wine and quiz night was held on 6th December; the questions are now set by last year's winning team, so we can be in for a 'challenge', and indeed we were -with many of us, at the end of the evening, scuttling home to our reference books on all the basic things we should have known, especially about Tintagel! The quiz was again ably conducted by John Stratton, and Eve judged the photo competition, 'My Cornwall', which was won by Diana Mills, with her image of a great craggy rock and swirling sea off our dramatic coast. The successful evening ended with a raffle, which included a sumptuous hamper.
Our A G M and dinner was held at The Bossiney House Hotel on 18th January; our retiring chairperson, Pat Osborne, thanked all those who had helped to make her time in office enjoyable, and all those who had contributed to a year of interesting speakers and memorable garden visits.
Finally, when the new committee had been elected, there being no other business, we then partook of a delicious buffet, for which the hotel management and staff were rightly applauded. The buzz of conversation grew ever louder as the social side progressed, until the last guests left getting on for midnight.
Our first speaker for 2014-- Friday 14 February, Tintagel Social Hall at 7.30pm- Mick Martin on Snowdrops and twin scaling division.

YOUTH CRICKET
In 2013 Tintagel Cricket Club resurrected its Youth Section to progress children to adult Cricket. We currently have over 30 Under 13 year olds of mixed gender attending an hour and a half coaching session on a Monday evening throughout the summer.

In 2014 we will run winter coaching at Tintagel Community Primary School (details to follow) and once summer arrives will move back to the Cricket Club. Sessions are only a pound each plus a club joining fee.
We plan to coach surrounding Primary Schools and have been invited by the “Chance to shine” National Project to inject extra funding into coaching at primary schools and the club to improve children’s skills and give them an introduction to the game.

SEAGULL PROOF SACKS Ideal to help with the secure and pest-free storage of refuse, especially through the summer months Cornwall Council has recently trialled seagull proof sacks in a number of areas. These sacks are for the containment of domestic household refuse which is not put out in bins. Household refuse should be bagged as usual and the seagull proof sack can hold up to the equivalent of 3 black bags of rubbish. Loose rubbish will not be collected. The sacks can help you protect your rubbish from seagulls and other vermin and will help reduce the amount of litter on your street. It is easy to store between collections and has proved to be very effective in seaside areas. Further information can be found at www.cornwall.gov.uk
The sacks are now available to purchase from Tintagel Parish Council at a cost of £3.50 each.
If you are interested in purchasing a sack, or know a neighbour who has a problem with storage of refuse, please contact the Parish Clerk.
