Callington News August 2017 www.callington-tc.gov.uk Bowling Club raises the bar for the second year running A bit of creative flair and a lot of obvious hard work, with a great sense of fun, combined to make the Bowling Club deserved overall winners of the Best Adult Float award in the Carnival and the Best in Carnival with their themed entry of The Armada. With a float which sported Sir Francis Drake and companions and accompanying walkers providing an excellent portrayal of the entire Spanish fleet, the bowlers proved that enthusiasm and a bit of graft can bring just rewards and help a group of people gel. All the entries put in a bucketful of effort and obviously had a great day out, and it was great to see a good number of specialist classic cars and agricultural vehicles, as well as commercial entries from the area. Why not put Saturday 7th July 2018 into your diaries now and set about gathering friends, neighbours or fellow workers to plan, design and build a float or a walking entry? Or, if you would like to get involved in the preparations during the run-up to the carnival, why not join the Carnival Committee? Otherwise, there is always a need for volunteers to help on the day in a variety of roles.

"This is an inspiring story about one young man's search for identity." "An astonishing true story that's treated with an admirably light and artistic touch, rather than an overly dramatic heavy hand." Five-year-old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of kilometres across India, away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty-five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home. Thursday 24th August 2017 Callington Town Hall Doors open at 7.15pm Members' entrance: Adults: £4 U18s: £3 Start time: 7.30pm (Doors open at 7.00pm) MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED (AVAILABLE ON DOOR) Generous gift from Mining Company Cornwall Resources Ltd, recently presented the Mayor of Callington an original painting of Kit Hill by artist Nicola Saunders. The gift was a show of appreciation to the communities of Callington and Kelly Bray for their co-operation and continued support throughout the exploratory drilling process.

This time they went on a steam train with a hike to the camp site. We put up tents, played in the woods, went on a bear hunt where we found a huge bear who was having a picnic with everybody's teddies. We sang songs around a camp fire and didn't go to sleep until past midnight! The Cubs have been cooking outside. They have also drawn maps of their local area, learnt the eight points of a compass and grid references. We used this knowledge to help us on a hike, they didn't get lost! The Scouts followed a route to the park using their compass and directions they were given. They've also done some outside cooking and completed their Athletics Badge with a Sports evening. All sections had a blast on our last session before the summer holidays building dens and cooking s'mores in the woods. We followed blind trials, played wide games and ate lots of cake! If you think your young person would really enjoy this then why not come along and give it a try.
