7 8 Trial Hill

From Ivor Ward - I read with interest Tessa Stevenson's recollection of the Easter Trial. I have attached a picture of the two shire horses pulling a car up the hill circa 1948. The lead horse was Captain and Mable followed. They were from Flanders farm. John Ward leads the first and Alan Ward, the second horse. It looks like they are pulling a Jowett Javelin. There were several hundred people at the trials when I was young. We used to get there early and mother would bring a packed lunch later on. The high side of the trial hill was on our farm. I seem to remember the two Shires turning hay in our field behind White Lodge in the mid fifties. Captain got a bit old and cranky and trampled both Rex and I at different times and had to be retired.

Thanks for this Ivor… We were able to capture some more stories about The Lands End trials for The Backalong Project. It wasLooking quite down an event Trial Hill attracting hundreds of people and Chris Biscombe remembersto the ford. The WI serving hot teas and pasties from a marquee halfway up the hill.

11 A Church Letter

It is said that the three most stressful events of one’s life are childbirth, changing jobs and moving house. Although I am not in the position to comment about childbirth(!) and fortunately only had to change jobs very few times, I did have to move house on a number of occasions. When moving to house I found one had to go through a number of pro- cesses. First did you really need to move home, then you had to decide what the new house had to offer before going through the process of purchase and moving. But even then the new house was not home. To make it your home one often has to make changes to the house. It might entail simply redecorating or a more major change such as a new kitchen or removing a wall to make two rooms into one. I found it always took quite some time before one felt that the new house had become one’s own comfortable home.

You might be asking why on earth am I writing about moving home. Well in many ways over the past few months we have been going over through a similar process in the deanery. We spent a considerable time thinking and praying as to how we saw the deanery developing and growing in the future. The deanery synod then developed a plan of action for a new arrangement for the deanery and new grouping together of parishes into new clusters. In many ways the process has been similar to that of finding and moving can you house. After our first service together as a new cluster on Sunday24 February we have finally moved into our new grouping. But are we yet a single group working together as a single unit or is there still that anticipation as to what the future might bring?

I do believe that to become a single group working together it will entail change. Things we have always done in the past (because that is what we have always done) may have to be put on one side. Ideas and prac- tices never tried before may have to be included in the way we work together. All change can be daunting, frightening and uncomfortable. We are venturing together into the unknow. But to grow one has to change. The only things that don’t change are those things without life!! I am not suggesting that we need to change just for changes sake but I do believe that if we are to grow together we all need to be open to change. That with prayer, discussion and love we can together make this into our cluster answering the needs of our community and learning and growing together in the love of God and bringing this love into the life of our community.

12 13 GIRLGUIDING

A group of 50 brownies and guides along with 10 of their leaders from Launceston District had a sleepover with a difference recently, sleeping in the galleries of the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth. It was an action packed evening on our arrival we ate our packed tea, after which it was straight into the challenge for the evening, where in pairs the girls had to make a sailboat from scrap materials which were then raced across their boat pool, with some very close fought rounds before the climax of the final where again although it was very close it was won by Chloe and Wren of Marhamchurch brownies. It was then time for a snack, where we also sang happy birthday to a brownie and ate some of the birthday cake that her mum had provided for us. After this we were split into 3 groups and given torches to go on a tour of the museum in the dark, we explored several areas of the museum including the Titanic exhibit, where we were all surprised by the size of the boats when we were told how few were on them. We also went below the tide line of Falmouth Quay where it was very cold! It was then time to set up our beds for the night which we did in two of the galleries, when we were ready for bed there was time for a hot chocolate, and to watch some cartoons before we went back to our beds to get some sleep. In the morning, after varying amounts of sleep, it was time to pack up our beds have breakfast say thank you and goodbye to the museum and head for home, after the thoroughly enjoyable evening. If you would like to help provide experiences like this to girls in the area, we are always on the look out for more volunteers to support our units. We are especially looking for people to help out with Marham- church and Jacobstow Brownies at the moment. If you want to find out more please register your interest by calling 0800 169 5901 or going online to: https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/get -involved/become-a-volunteer/ register-your-interest/ someone will then contact you to discuss your interest further.

16 17 A Methodist Ministers view

A Methodist Ministers View Quite often when watching quiz programmes on the television I am surprised that the participants do not know the answers to what I consider to be simple questions. On one programme recently the question was ‘What is the name given to the first four books of the New Testament which tell the stories of Jesus?’ The answer offered was ‘Genesis’, of course the questioner was hoping for the answer ‘Gospels’. The word Gospel actually means ‘Good News’. For most of us the month of April will be taken up with preparing to cele- brate Easter, and the Easter celebrations. The stories about why we cel- ebrate Easter are found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in our Bibles. Their accounts of the last days of the life of Jesus are very similar, as you would expect, and yet each writer offers us some different information in their accounts. This is not dissimilar to the way in which modern day news is reported. The amazing thing about the stories is that the short period of 8 days from the first Palm Sunday to Easter Day in the 3 plus years of the active ministry of Jesus take up at least a quar- ter of the column inches. This is not bad reporting because it emphasis- es to us the importance of the Easter story. It is not just a story though because it has life changing potential for all of our lives, our communities and society. The current debate in our news, other than Brexit, is about ‘knife crime’ which raises issues of law and order, community networks and provision, and how people value their lives and the lives of others. These issues need addressing but should be underpinned with considering the ultimate questions, the basic questions, about life and living. Such questions as ‘why are we here’, ‘what is life all about’, ‘what is life’s destiny’. The importance of Easter and its unique story is that it points us to the answer to all of these questions, which is why the Gospel stories are ‘Good News’ stories. The Gospel stories and their climax days in the first Holy Week and Easter point us to thinking about our hope, purposeful living, our value and values, our destiny and relationships with others. As with all things if we get the ‘basics’ right we can build on these foun- dations, and Easter is about the ‘ultimate’ and ‘basic’ questions of life and living. Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Easter as you ponder its meaning and significance. Bryan Ede

What Do You Know about Them? Beavers-both boys and girls, aged between 5 to 8 years meet Wednesdays 5.30 – 6.30pm Cubs-both boys and girls, aged between 8 and 10 meet Mondays 6.30 – 8pm Scouts-both boys and girls, aged between 10 and 14 meet Tuesdays 6.30 – 8.30pm They have been meeting in St Gennys at their scout hut at Wainhouse Corner for over 50 years. They now have to vacate this site by June 2020. The wooden building would not stand moving, so exciting plans are in place for a new building on a new site. Jonathon Batchelor, of Small Hill Farm, has donated a site for them just off A39 towards Rosecare, and Michael Preller is drawing up plans for them free of charge, and it is being discussed with the Parish Council. There is much to be done! The Cubs and Scouts themselves are holding an Evening of Entertainment and Food (always a good combination!) on 30th March at Warbstow village hall. Tickets £6 adults, Children £5 includes pasty supper. Tickets available from Gill 01566785222 or 07974548416 or Daphne 01288 352786. The Beavers have been working towards their Cooking Badge and have just prepared, served, and eaten a three-course meal (consisting of Fruit salad, Spaghetti Hoops on toast and Strawberry Delight). Josie Shephard their leader has impressed how important the scouting movement can be for the children, gaining socialising skills as well as practical skills for life. The Jacobstow scout group includes children from all the outlying villages (Warbstow, Poundstock, North Petherwin etc) and enables the children to make, sometimes, lasting friendships outside their areas. Josie (07855 001284) also highlighted the need for more volunteers to help with running of these groups. Do consider it!

Camelford and District Age Concern Mini Bus On Monday 4 March drivers of the Camelford and District Age Concern Mini Bus were presented with their keys to the new mini bus outside the King Ar- thur’s pub in Tintagel. This is the fourth or fifth bus that the organisation has had since it started the service 30 to 40 years ago. The bus has been picking people over 50 up from their homes to go on shopping trips and to many other places interest throughout Devon and Cornwall. This latest bus comes fully equipped with an electric lift for people in wheel chairs or with mobility problems. Seats at the back are removable so a wheel chair can be safely secured and a seatbelt supplied. The purchase of this bus has only been made possible with the generous contributions from the local community; The National Lottery; Cornwall Community Foundation and Cornwall Council’s Community Chest Scheme. This service is well supported in the local area but there is always a need for volunteers to enable the service to continue. In particular there is a need for new drivers as a number of our regular drivers are retiring this year. If you have a class B1 on your driver’s licence and would be prepared to drive the mini bus once or twice a month then please contact Mike Parsons by email : [email protected]. It is only with the generous help of our volunteers that we can continue to provide this important service.

31 Patient Participation Group

PPG Report:14/02/19 The Patient Participation group met with the Practice Manager, Danielle Kirby who gave her report: * The report from the CCG ( a bit like an OFSTED inspection) was positive. * The practice are still looking for a handyman. * Funding to upgrade the patients’ toilet and provide clinical flooring applied for. Issues raised by the PPG. * Prescriptions in the Snooker Club, Crackington Haven are going well except for a few delays with medication. The practice are grateful to those who give their time to help. * Answer phone message is to be deleted and a new one recorded. * PPG Facebook page to be linked to the surgery website. * Some members of the PPG attended a busy public meeting in the Parkhouse Centre where the night time closure of the Minor Injuries Unit at Stratton was discussed. The reason was the difficulty of recruiting nursing staff. Bodmin has been chosen as the site for an Urgent Treatment Centre. The purpose of these UTC s is to relieve pressure on the A&E at Truro but concern was expressed about the time 50-60 minutes - it takes to drive from the Bude area to Bodmin and the lack of sufficient ambulances in rural areas. Annie Robinson on behalf of the PPG.

Alternatively, if you would like to become a volunteer and you can spare an hour or so here and there, I will of course welcome you with open arms. Richard Leach - 230994

32 33 St Gennys Parish Council

Tuesday 12th February 2019 All meetings are open to the press and public unless the council decides otherwise Present: - Cllrs T Stedham, A Birt, J May, Mrs J Anderson, Mrs. J Ward, R Wade, M Bates, M Northcott, Mrs C Cook & R Leach B Jordan (Clerk) Zoe Bernard-John Community Link Officer Apologies received from Cornwall Councillor Nicky Chopak Public Question Time. Zoe Bernard-John introduced herself as the new community Link officer and has taken over from Chris Simms, her main job is to support Local members in the 1st instance then Town and Parish Councils, to answer queries and to move issues along, prevent or help with blockages in the sys- tem, she is also instrumental in the Community network panels which meet every 3 months, to co -ordinate meetings, produce the agendas etc. The chairman suggested that whilst Zoe was in attendance that the Neighbourhood Plan from Item 6 is brought forward for discussion and this was agreed. Cllr Wade stated that the group had some issues and they had lost some members, they have reviewed the plan policies and there is little or nothing to add that will make a difference. Any change to policies could not include Local Need Only as the planning policies in place only al- lowed rounding off or infill. Any designated land cannot be just for affordable housing so would need to look at exception sites within the parish. The NDP is only an enabler and it would be better to get a scheme in place that would be more productive. The effort involved is not commensu- rate with what can be achieved and the expense that would be incurred and it would be better to look at a Principal Resident Policy or a community Wind Farm although this is not in the Cornwall Council plan. Cllr Wade will bring forward a full report for the next meeting Cllr Wade concluded that it would be better for them to take forward the Emergency Plan and this will be on the next agenda for discussion To receive and approve the Minutes Cllr Birt proposed that the minutes of the 12th February be signed as a true and correct record, this was seconded by Cllr Stedham and agreed To receive Clerk’s report on Matters Arising: Website.
