Callington News November 2016 www.callington-tc.gov.uk R emembrance Tide is with us again when we remember those who gave their lives for this country, and those injured in the course of their duties. Poppies will be on sale throughout the Town from October until Remembrance Day on Sunday 13th November. Last year a record amount was donated by the people of Callington and of course we are hoping to beat this record this year. Callington Town Council’s Parade and Remembrance Service will take place on Sunday 13th November at 3.00pm in St Mary’s Church. Prior to the Service, wreath layers and attendees are asked to gather in the Town Hall from 2.00pm where ordered wreaths can be collected. The parade will then set off through the Town with the laying of wreaths at the War Memorial. Ex-service and serving personnel are invited to join the RBL platoon. Please wear uniform, medals and service regalia. Everyone is then invited back to the Town Hall for refreshments. All welcome. If you have not already ordered your wreath, please contact Jo Taylor at Callington Town Council on 01579 384039 or email at [email protected]. SUN SHINES ON CALLINGTON HONEY FAIR The sun was shining for the Town's main Community event of the year, Honey Fair, on the 5th October. John Trevithick, seen on the left, resurrected the fair back in the 1970s and it has continued ever since by the Lions Club of Callington. Portreeve and Mayor, Councillor Mark Smith (seen on the right) was delighted with how the event went and pays special thanks to everyone that helped before, during and after the event.

We met at the China Fleet Club and they did us proud, for no extra cost they gave us The Kingsmill Suite, allowing us to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. The food was superb. We all received an individual cake decorated in pink with a number 3 in the middle kindly made by two members, Sue and Hilary. Thank you ladies. We also had three ladies celebrating their 60, 70 and 80th birthdays so they each received a birthday cake. Our tables were decorated with red roses placed in individual flutes, one for each lady. It was a very special day for everyone. Val reported to the group that it was necessary to form a committee to take the group forward and she is pleased to report that the team is now functioning as a committee. The committee now has a Secretary, Treasurer, Vice Chair and Assistant Vice Chair and Val is pleased that her load has become much lighter and life is a bit easier now! Christmas is just around the corner and I am very confident that the committee will take care of all preparations for the Christmas Lunch which is being held at Sleepy Hollow on 10th December. We will be entertaining members of Callington Social Club for the Disabled in January, providing afternoon tea and maybe entertainment (The Pearly Kings and Queens). If you are disabled and would like to come along, put this date in your diary - Wednesday 17th January 2017 in the Town Hall at 2.00pm. Give Linda Kelly a call on 01579 386914. Just a thought, I would like to think that God sends us special friends to share our lives with very special people. We can be ourselves with talk, with laughter, with hope and believe with your friends. Let us all keep doing what we do best. Spread joy and happiness. Valerie ST.
