Callington News www.callington-tc.gov.uk November 2018 1918 ~ 2018 In this exceptional year marking the Centenary of the end of the First World War. The Royal British Legion has lead a national movement to say “Thank You” to the entire First World War gen- eration - all who served, sacrificed and changed our world. Thanking people of all Commonwealth nations - not just those who fell on the battlefield; but also those who played their part on the home front and those who returned to SEA of POPPIES at the TOWER of LONDON build a better future. War broke out and the Commonwealth answered the call with volunteers from far and wide including pre-partition India, the Caribbean and Africa, all of whom make up a valued part of life in the UK. We recognise them today as part of the global family of the free and equal nations of the Commonwealth and we honour their contribution to the First World War as second to none. Almost 1.5 million men volunteered with the Indian Expeditionary Force during WW1. It was the largest British Empire Armed Force besides the British Army itself. Indian troops were awarded over 13,000 medals for gallantry during the war including eleven Victoria Crosses. This year’s Remembrance Day Parade on Sunday 11th November commences from the Town Hall at approx. 10.40am, arriving at the War Memorial in time for a two minute silence at 11am. The wreath laying ceremony will then take place with the service scheduled to start at approx. 11.30am in St Marys Church.

Page 3 What’s On in the CAVe in November CAVe film in November Now that Chris and his girlfriend, Rose, have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behaviour as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined. Funny, scary, and thought-provoking, 'Get Out' seamlessly weaves its trenchant social critiques into a brilliantly effective and entertaining horror/comedy thrill ride.

The instrumentation consists of vocals, fiddle, twelve-string guitar, bass guitar and percussion. The Band's musical influences include Celtic, Balkan, Romani, Latino, electronic dance, reggae, dub, punk rock, and traditional folk music. The Band has had great success at venues and festivals all over the UK and Europe, including being invited by Show of Hands to play the main stage at the Eden Project and the 2008 BBC Proms at St David's Hall in Cardiff. Other highlights include GuilFest; Lakefest festival Folkwoods, Holland; the Glastonbury Festival; the Trowbridge Village Pump Festival; Folk Segovia, Spain; Lorient Interceltic Festival, France; Kevelaer World Music Festival, Germany; Labadoux Festival, Belgium; Buskers Bern Street Festival in Switzerland, and enthusiastically welcomed returns to the Beautiful Days, Bearded Theory, and Larmer Tree festivals. Throughout the 2000s, the Band were a regular support act for The Levellers, with Roberts usually returning to join The Levellers onstage for the finale in a duelling fiddle-off of "What You Know" with added tambourine from Waters and tin-whistle from Ashton. The Band has enjoyed airplay on BBC Radio 2; BBC Radio Ulster; BBC Radio Cornwall and BBC Radio Wales, and have been described by presenter Mike Harding as "a brilliant band... absolutely amazing".

This project had been talked about for a number of years but finances did not allow it to go ahead. Two years ago the Town Council was approached by a group of parents with suggestions about the need for some play equipment for toddlers 18 months to 4 years. Working in partnership with this group, and following a number of meetings with them, the project was moved forward. This then coincided with an anonymous donation of £11,000 from a resident in Callington specifically for toddler play equipment. The Town Council applied for a grant from the Big Lottery, which was successful and the Town Council match fund- ed this.
