Camelforian May 2018 Editorial This month’s cover is of a phoenix and represents the Camelfordian which has risen again thanks to a new team. Keith, Catharine, Tim, Aaron and I shall endeav- our to continue in the footsteps of Clare and Bob Ireland who leave big shoes to fill! We shall never be able to thank them enough for the years of hard work they have put into pro- ducing our magazine. They have promised to hold our hands, meta- phorically, until we have gained enough skills to continue on our own and I hope we won’t have to bother them too often. Please keep the articles coming. We can accept via e-mail or you can pop written details into “Now and Then”.

There are certain things that you can do to ensure success.Firstly, when you plant up, always use a good quality compost, an add some slow release fertiliser and water retaining crystals - they'll make the baskets so much easier to care for come midsummer! You should also make sure you always plant up around the sides of the baskets, this will give more impact, quick- er! Finally, through the season, keep taking off the dead flowers and you'll get more and more grow on Best Plants For Hanging Baskets · Bacopa · Callibrachoa · Lobelia richardii · Dichondra 'Silver Falls' · Verbena · Petunia – trailing · Begonia – trailing: If you are planting a basket for a shaded spot begonias are ideal. · Fuchsia – trailing: Trailing fuchsias are also good in semi-shade as well as in full sun. Page No. 4 Catherine Little As a past contributor to ‘The Camelfordian’, (Magpies Nest). I have always been interested in it continuing to provide in- formation about future events but also reports from the many clubs and organisations on past occasions. I know how popu- lar the ‘The Camelfordian’is, as despite being left a large number to distribute in my shop, I always seem to run out by the middle of the month. ‘The Camelfordian’ is now being picked up, not only by the people of Camelford but also by those who live further afield in Delabole, Boscastle and Tintagel amongst others. I also find regular visitors to the Town, and those with second homes or Holiday Cottages, also like to grab a copy, so Camelford is making it’s mark in “Foreign Parts” as well. I have agreed to help with the advertising in the magazine be- cause it is an important source of revenue that pays for the printing costs. It also helps local businesses to let readers know what they do, and how to contact them. I know that if I need to contact anyone I tend to reach for ‘The Camelfordi- an’ rather than trawl through ‘The Yellow Pages’, (Or worse, use a computer and get distracted by videos of kittens!) So if you want to place an advertisement get in touch via [email protected] , or the Editor Diane Taylor 01840 213433 Email [email protected]. I hope our existing advertisers and contributors will continue to support us and that new ones will join with them. This will ensure that ‘The Camelfordian’ will continue to keep you all in- formed and entertained Page No. 5 Call George on 07798 940466 or 01840 770449 All building work undertaken New builds, Extensions, Demolition, Driveways Barn conversions and Joinery shop - 12m Telescopic handler - - Wheel digger - Dumpers - - Various sizes of Swing Shovels - - Haulage - - Skip hire for commercial and domestic waste - - On-site Crusher and Screener - Suppliers of : Sand, Cement, Aggregates, Chippings, Tarmac Plainings, Concrete Blocks www.gclimoandsons.co.uk Page No. 6 The Joy of a Good Book by A. N. Other. There's something about a second, or third, hand book. It has a presence that no tablet can ever have, It's pages are there , waiting, it's cover reminds you of the de- lights within as your eye drifts along the book shelves. Some people love the feel of the pages, the old fashioned printing, some say the smell of old books brings back memories of times , plac- es and loved ones past. The reassuring bulk of a good novel on the bedside cabinet is a re- minder you can leave your everyday existence and travel to places as yet undiscovered, meeting people, inhab- iting their lives for a while, walking beside them as they face problems or disasters, reading on to see how they deal with them as we forget our own. Scientists have been warning for some time now that the light from the many screens we now use in daily life is a factor in insomnia so what better way to end the day than with a book, new or second hand, pages turning, cover creaking, an old post- card or ribbon marking a favourite page, a dried pressed flower concealed, or forgotten within. a name or two in the front -- a book, a REAL book, given, and read with love. related item;- The Insomniacs' Good book Guide.

During these four years, the bus has travelled many thousands of miles and now we need to start to consider whether or not to replace it. Over the past few months the amount of use being made of the mini bus has undoubtedly declined. This no doubt has been partly due to the time of the year but also to the increasing age of our passengers and those willing to act as trip organisers. Before making the capital outlay of a new bus we need to try and gauge whether it will be used sufficiently by the local community to make it worthwhile. We urgently need volunteers who are willing to act as organisers. This is not a particularly onerous task as it simply entails making a list of people [minimum of ten] wanting to go on a trip, checking if the date is free with the administrator, letting the driver know who these people are where they live, and then on the day collecting donations towards the cost of the bus. The trips can be to places of interest in Cornwall and just over the border into Devon. May be you know of organisations or groups who can make use of the Bus and its volunteer drivers; or even consider being a organiser yourself. If we are to replace the bus we would want to put an order in by the start of July so we need to be in a position to make that decision by the end of June. [Money for this purchase is not going to be a problem!] If you would like more information about the bus, being an organiser, and being a passenger on any trip that is scheduled, please ring the administrator: Cherry Whitehead on 01840 213391 or email [email protected] Page No. 10 Page No. 11 FERNACRE STONE CIRCLE AND OTHER LOCAL ODDITIES Fernacre stone circle isn’t very well known, although it should be. This little piece might help to explain why it is a bit of a special place... The distinctive peak of Rough Tor is Camelford’s nearest and most obvious natural attraction. It is not pronounced as written but ‘ ’, not as in rowing a boat, but as having a bit of a domes- tic... It also gets shortened to ‘ ’. Rough Tor is the most spectacular outcrop of granite on Bodmin Moor. There are three outcrops on Rough Tor itself: The main Tor, Little Rough Tor and Showery Tor to the north. Bodmin Moor is one of a number of large batholiths found in the West Country (including Exmoor, Dartmoor, northwest of St Austell, Carnmenellis, another to the west of Falmouth, Land’s End and the Isles of Scilly).

  • Cornish Foodbanks Remain Open and Crucially Need Our Support
    Update on Cornish Foodbanks (2). 10.04.20 Cornish foodbanks remain open and crucially need our support. Foodbanks across Cornwall need supplies of all tinned, dried or long-life food items - with a typical food parcel including: Breakfast cereal, long-life milk, soup, pasta, rice, pasta sauce, tinned beans, tinned meat, tinned vegetables, tinned fruit, tinned puddings, tea or coffee, sugar, biscuits and snacks. Many of the foodbanks also collect: Baby food, baby milk, disposable nappies, washing up liquid, Washing Powder, soap, Dry Dog Food, canned Dog Food and canned Cat Food. The way each Cornish foodbank runs is very unique, depending on volunteers, the building they operate, their capacity and their opening times. If you would like to donate and support your local foodbank, we have included links to some of the foodbanks below, we have purposely included references to their Facebook pages where possible. If you could help your foodbank by looking at their Facebook posts before contacting them, that would be super helpful as these often have the most up to date answers to many queries. Facebook posts will also have details of any emergency financial donation appeals individual foodbanks are running, or for some foodbanks with websites, there is often a direct link to donate money to them. PLEASE NOTE: The mission of Foodbanks is to give out food parcels to people in need. Customers can access foodbanks with a food voucher. Many of the Foodbanks are now operating an e-voucher system but please check how your local Foodbank is operating. There are many wonderful community food projects that people without Foodbank vouchers can access and, in many cases, this may be more appropriate.
