Busy time for the Male Voice Choir Rame Peninsula Male Voice Choir have been busy with a series of outdoor charity concerts and on-going rehearsals for several members performing in future engagements in Birmingham and Bournemouth.

All that on top of regular weekly rehearsals at Kingsand Community Hall.

Outdoor events on The Green, Kingsand; Fort Picklecombe; Millbrook Tanyard; and Cawsand Square have proved highly successful, with Picklecombe alone generating more than £2000 for Derriford Oncology.

The choir’s next concerts are on August 7 at 7pm on The Cleave, Kingsand with the ladies’ choir, “The Singsanders”, and Aug 24 at 7pm on The Green, outside the Rising Sun, Kingsand.

The choir welcomes visitors and new members at Kingsand Community Hall every Wednesday at 7.30. Visit rpmvc.org.uk

Bargains galore at Helen Round’s special sale

Millbrook designer Helen Round will be holding her popular biannual seconds and sample sale over the August Bank Holiday weekend at her Mount Edgcumbe Shop and Studio.

A selection of linens will be available including lampshades, cushions, bags, napkins and tea towels, all very slight seconds, with some half price.

The sale starts on August 24 and continues until August 26 between 12 noon and 4pm at Helen’s Shop, just behind The Stables Cafe at Mount Edgcumbe Country Estate.

Torpoint Community College Year 11 students enjoyed their prom at The Orangery at Mount Edgcumbe. The students all looked stunning in their finery and had plenty of fun throughout the evening. After arriving in various forms of transport, the young people took the opportunity to collect numerous selfies before starting the evening, which included a buffet style barbecue.

Fourlanesend Primary School wins Environmental Award The children of Fourlanesend Primary School in Cawsand are celebrating after being named Regional Champions of the Better Energy School Awards.

Their project ‘Single Use Plastic Red Noses’ not only took top spot in the ‘Totally Clued Up’ category for school across Wales and western England, but was also declared the best project in all categories from the entire region, making it the Regional Champion for 2019.

The Better Energy School Awards is a nationwide competition for five to 11 year olds, which is run by the Young People’s Trust for the Environment (YPTE) in partnership with Total. The competition, which aims to generate interest in the environment and raise awareness of the need for sustainable energy sources, has received entries from over 340,000 children since it began in 2007.

The children of Fourlanesend Primary School, who are aged 5-11 when they undertook their project, were extremely concerned about the problem of plastic pollution and in particular single-use plastics. They thought about the Red Noses that are sold to raise money for Comic Relief and worried that many would end up being thrown away after being used on Red Nose Day. So they decided to make their own red noses using recycled and biodegradable materials.

They each paid £1.25 – the cost of an official Red Nose - to wear their red noses on Red Nose Day at school. But whereas only 65p of the money spent on official Red Noses is donated to Comic Relief, each child’s entire donation of £1.25 was sent to

Comic Relief. The school were delighted to receive a letter from Torpoint Town Council supporting their idea.

Fifteen children from the school joined other Regional Champions at the National Awards Ceremony, held at London Zoo. All of the Regional Champions received a specially commissioned trophy

and a cheque for £1000 to put towards school funds.

YPTE Director, Peter Littlewood, said: “The children of Fourlanesend Primary School have done something really special here. They have identified a problem and come up with a solution that delivers a better result for the planet and for charitable causes too.”

PLANS IN HAND FOR ANNUAL TRAFALGAR NIGHT DINNER

Torpoint & Rame Royal Navy Association’s annual barbecue in June was an outstanding success by any measure with more than 50 Shipmates and guests attending.

A team of intrepid chefs toiled at the grill, whilst a wide range of sumptuous salads and other accompaniments were provided by several lady Members.

As if that wasn’t enough, the homemade gateaux filled whatever gastric corners that were still empty! The Branch sincerely thanks all those who worked so hard to ensure the success of the event and also the 200 Club for, yet again, allowing us to use the club facilities.

Sunday, July 14 saw the Torpoint Mayor’s Civic Service and Parade, in which the Branch Standard was paraded

by Standard Bearer, Shipmate Chris Davies. Other Shipmates also took part in the parade, either representing the RNA or as part of other contingents.

The Branch is always keen to support Community functions.

Preparations are already under way for the annual Trafalgar Night Dinner, which will take place at the 200 Club on October 19. This is a major event not only for the RNA, but for the Royal navy community as a whole and we will commemorate Nelson’s legacy in traditional style. The ‘book’ for the

dinner is now open and new members/ guests are always welcome. Please contact the Branch Secretary, Paul Carter on 01752 814453, for details either about the dinner or other information. There

will be no Branch Meeting in August, however, in the next edition, there will be some interesting information about the RNA as a whole and also details of Branch events for the autumn.

We appreciate all the positive comments following the publication of our first edition and understand that some readers do miss the glossier feel of its predecessor the Torpoint Advertiser.

We aim to include more extensive coverage of local events in our ‘Out and About’ section and also details of local groups and organisations in our Community Directory.

While other local media organisations have reduced their coverage of news in South East Cornwall, we have decided to do the opposite!

As part of the development of the Torpoint and District Chronicle, we have increased distribution by an extra 1,000 homes in the local area going up from 6,500 to 7,500 letterbox deliveries.

We now deliver to homes not only in Torpoint, Millbrook, Kingsand, Cawsand, Antony and Sheviock, but now also Crafthole, Portwrinkle, Downderry and Seaton.

We believe the Chronicle offers a cost effective route to market for businesses and organisations to advertise and promote their goods and services to people living in South East Cornwall. If you would like more details of the advertising opportunities now available, please contact our sales team on the number shown below.

Meanwhile, if you have an event listing, interesting story or news item you think would be suitable for the Chronicle, please send an email to info@cornerstonevision.com.

We welcome submissions but cannot guarantee publication. We accept press releases in the form of text documents and images in JPG or TIFF format (high resolution please).

Delivering smiles and flowers in Downderry

5

Children from St Nicolas Primary School in Downderry delivered something special to local villagers.

Every child came to school on July 11 with a bunch of flowers. After writing tags with special messages and attaching them with an invite to join the school for a fish and chip lunch the next day, the whole school travelled around the village giving out flowers to members of the local community.

Children left bunches of flowers on doorsteps. They also gave them out to elderly members of the community who were out walking. They visited the Doctor’s Surgery and left flowers for the doctor.

They did the same in the local shop.

As a result of giving out over 80 bunches of flowers with a lunch invite, a huge amount of people from the community enjoyed lunch the day after. The school received call after call from residents giving their thanks.

Jake Imrie, head of school said: “We were overwhelmed with the response from the community. It is amazing what one small act of kindness can do. It has enthused us to do more for our local community and to involve everyone in the life of our special school.”

Members of the community have said…

“I have just got home from work and found a beautiful bunch of flowers on my doorstep. It had a message on it written by a child. It said ‘Smile the Day Away’. This has certainly made me smile and I will smile the day away!’.

‘What a wonderful thing to do for our community. What compassionate children!”

Youngsters from the Coppola School of Dance and Drama

Walking tall...stiltwalkers at the Fair

All the fun of the Lions Annual Summer Fair Torpoint Lions Club have had a busy few weeks - first with the annual summer walk on June 23 in the beautiful surroundings of Mount Edgecumbe Country Park and then the Lions Summer Fair in the College grounds on July 20.

Lion President Paul Goodall along with the Town Crier Clive O’Shaughnessy opened the Fair at 12 noon. Thankfully the rain of the previous day was replaced by sunshine Attendance was excellent making all the hard work worth the effort. There was something for everyone especially the children with donkey rides, bouncy castles, archery and lots of food and drink choices.

Highlights of the day included stilt walkers, the Coppola School of Dance and Drama performing various dances in the central arena followed by Carbeile Junior School field gun runs, always a crowd pleaser.

There were a range of activity sessions, a tug of war fun competition and of course the ever popular Punch and Judy.

The Lions food stall was busy all day as well as all the other various suppliers including of course

All the volunteers at the Lions tea tent

Torpoint firefighters

Summer Walk The Summer Walk (previously the Father’s Day Walk) enabled those who take part to raise money for the charity of their own choice. The Lions are responsible for all the organisation, with 20 per cent of the funds raised going to the club’s charity account, with the balance going to the charity of the walker’s choice.

The walk took about two hours

Donkey rides for Blake, Mollie and Olivia

through 10 kilometres of park and coast line with many stunning views to take in along the way.

The event was rounded off for the walkers with a hot dog and cold drink at the end.

Wheelchair loan The Lions Club of Torpoint and Rame is proud to say that we have for the past 20 odd years given an unbroken service to our community in one respect, it may not be original but it is well-used and much appreciated. I’m talking about our wheelchair loaning service for anyone in the Rame Peninsula, either local residents or even those on holiday in the area.

We have approximately 20

Carbeile Junior School field gun team chairs ready for use and subject to how many are on loan at the time there is always one ready to go out at a few hours’ notice. We don’t charge for the service as it is a commitment that we take very seriously to our community, but it is generally appreciated that a small donation is always welcome towards our charity pot upon the return of the chair.

The chairs have been well maintained by a number of Lion members in the past, but is now the job of Lion Chris Mackie who regulates them and keeps a check on all things related to the service, and a great job he does as well.

Give us your views The Lions Club is always open to new ways in which we can improve our service to the community.

Some of you may have spoken to one of our canvassers in the street, asking you what you know of the Lions’ activities locally.

This is one of the ways in which we can be influenced by you. We are always interested in your views by post or email, Facebook or face-to-face.

If you have a suggestion, don’t be afraid of the old fashioned way of doing things - just speak to us!

We don’t bite - we are all local people like you.

Some of you may remember Lion Revel Arnold, one-time headteacher of Torpoint School or Tony Smith a local builder in Torpoint, and Vic Gamm, one of the best in our community.

These are the kind of people that still serve you, we are ordinary people trying our best for you, please help us help you.

And don’t forget that we always welcome new members.

Maker Memories project wins two prestigous national awards A community project in South East Cornwall has won two national awards.

‘Maker Memories’ has been collecting stories and memories to help preserve the social history of Maker Camp on the Rame Peninsula. It’s already engaged with more than 16,000 people through a series of events and displays and reached nearly 250,000 people online.

The project has just been announced as the overall winner of the ‘Best Community Archive and Heritage Group’, and the winner of the ‘Community Engagement’ category in this year’s Community Archives and Heritage Group (CAHG) awards.

‘Maker Memories’ is led by volunteers from the Maker and Rame Community Interest Company (CIC), in partnership with The Box, Plymouth.

Dr Lyvinia Elleschild, a member of the CIC, is a sociology lecturer at the University of Plymouth and students from both the BSc (Hons) Sociology and BA (Hons) Media Arts degrees have also contributed to the project.

In reaching their decision, the CAHG judges said: “We were impressed by the range of diverse communities that ‘Maker Memories’ has engaged, including and empowering a number of inter-related yet distinct groups, such as young people, the (now) elderly who had once visited the camp, people engaged with the music scene, environmental issues and cultural preservation.

“The project leveraged close links with the excellent local authority archive in nearby Plymouth, from whose expertise it has drawn to ensure high standards in archiving processes, techniques and skills. “‘Maker Memories’ is already a very important archive for counter-culture, given the emergence of Maker Camp in recent years as an important music festival. Such communities need to be documented and made part of history. ‘Maker Memories’ is leading the way.”

The project has focussed on collecting stories, social history information and artefacts about

Maker Memories Fun Day Photo by Dom Moore

Maker Camp’s rich and diverse history.

It was originally a military base located in between the villages of Cremyll and Kingsand. From the 1920s to the early 1980s many people attended the camp thanks to a scheme established by the MP Nancy Astor and her Virginia House Settlement for ‘deprived city children’.

Oral history interviews have captured peoples’ memories of the camp, as well as more recent testimonies from the many musicians and festivalgoers who have played, stayed and celebrated there.

Nicola Moyle, Head of Heritage, Art and Film at The Box, Plymouth said: “It’s been an honour for our team to support the ‘Maker Memories’ project and I know they’ve enjoyed meeting the many different people who have come forward to share their memories. It’s a project that spans different generations, experiences and interests and we’re thrilled it’s been recognised with these national awards which highlight just how important community archives are.”

Dr Elleschild, Tony Davey, (engagement officer, The Box) and Chris Ayre (community researcher), Music at Maker were invited to Photo by Dom Moore the Community Archives and Heritage Group Annual Conference at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow to collect the awards.

Maker Memories is designed to capture the socio-cultural value and rich, diverse heritage of Maker Heights through oral histories. The project’s volunteers have been supported by Sociology and Media Arts students from the University of Plymouth, and students from the Extended Diploma in Film, Animation and Media Production at Plymouth

Dr Nick Barratt presents Lyvinia Elleschild of Maker Memories with the two awards College of Art and film makers Billy Abbott and Jake Galvin.

Maker-based creatives Patchwork Studios and Dom Moore Photography also contributed to the project, giving it an important visual and sonic aspect through film, photography, art and sound. A free Maker Memories newspaper, designed by local designer Dave Tetley from Studio 51, featured archive and contemporary photographs and interview extracts.

It’s party time!

Torcare recently hosted its annual garden party.

It was a very hot and breezy day but spirits and dancing shoes were not dampened by the unseasonable gusts of wind!

Friends and family of the Torcare residents were also invited to enjoy the day’s festivities, which included some impressive dancing and live music from bands including the Gold Coast Band.

There was also a chance to celebrate National Cream Tea Day with an afternoon tea that included an array of delicious cakes. Visitors were also able to participate in the prize tombola.

Torcare also received a surprise visit from Torpoint’s recently elected Mayor Cllr Christine Goodman (see top picture) who was delighted to see some familiar faces as she met and chatted with residents and their families.

People always come first at Torcare...

@TPChronicle Roy Bright of Churches Together was presented with the Organisation of the Year Award

The Band of TS Ramehead lead the Civic Parade

Huge turnout for the Civic Parade The people of Torpoint excelled themselves on Sunday July 14 with a fantastic turnout for the Annual Civic Parade.

Led by T S Ramehead Sea Cadets Band, Mayor Councillor Mrs Chris Goodman and her consort Chris Goodman were accompanied by visiting dignitaries including the High Sheriff of Cornwall John Willis, Chairman of Cornwall Council Councillor Hilary Frank, Mayor of Looe Councillor Martin Gregory, Mayor & Portreeve of Callington Councillor Mrs Suzan Tolman, Mayor of Bodmin Councillor Jeremy Cooper and the Torpoint Town Councillors.

Father Brown led the Service at St James Church,

Beautiful singing from children

with beautiful singing performances from the children of Torpoint Nursery and Infant School and Carbeile Junior School.

Past Mayor Cllr Lambert Keise, presented the Civic Awards for 2018/19 to Roy Bright of Churches Together who received the Organisation of the Year Award, Dec Kelf the Citizen of the Year Award for volunteering his electrical expertise over the last 10 years, particularly with the Christmas Lights.

Mrs Chris Trethewey was posthumously awarded the Person of Courage for her dedication to the town, which was presented to her widower Ken Trethewey.

With over 350 people in attendance it truly was a community celebration.

Field Day at The Lawn is a big success Mayor of Torpoint Chris Goodman and Mayor’s Cadet Buffy Taylor open the event

Busy ice cream van

The sun shone at The Lawn for Torpoint’s Field Day organised by Torpoint Town Council.

It was sun, fun, bands, displays, story reading and other attractions along with a full array of refreshments and charity stalls.

The bands which performed included The Strydes, The Lost Cousins and the Cornish Groove Collection.

They were all amazing and complete crowd pleasers, capturing the atmosphere of the day.

Mayor Cllr Chris Goodman accompanied by her Cadet of the Year Buffy Taylor opened the event and welcomed all attending, encouraging them to enjoy a pleasant day and evening of entertainment.

The youth of the town were also well represented with drama classes and the local St Columb youth rugby team putting on a great training exhibition.

A yoga training event saw the children stretching and bending and that even attracted

Enjoying the sun

some adults to join in.

An important display put together by the students and pupils of local schools focused on the importance of single use plastics and the need to protect wildlife and the oceans. It was good to see that today’s young people care about the environment and wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the situation.

Organisers and volunteers

With such a beautiful warm sunny day the ice cream stalls and beer tent did a roaring trade. The free sessions on the bouncy castle were a big draw too.

Well done to everyone who made the event happen – it takes a lot of organising and hard work by many volunteers, but that paid off with so many attending and enjoying the day.

We do love our pets and we need to care for them too!

It’s true to say that like the Queen, who is known for her love of corgis, that the British are a nation of animal lovers.

Did you realise that there are around 61 million people in Great Britain and over 27 million pets?

These figures came from the Oxford University Press who also said there are around 7.3 million dogs and a further 7.2 million cats. Some other figures suggest that 45% of households have at least one pet.

When the Chronicle dropped into the Torpoint Pet Supplies in Macey Street to have a word with Debbie Brady about her customers and their pets, she said she thought the percentages might be even higher in Torpoint.

Debbie opened the shop around five years ago. Torpoint’s previous pet shop had closed and she felt that there could be demand for another.

Her husband runs a carpet shop in Fore Street and there was some space at the back she could utilise with its own separate entrance in Macey Street. That’s how Torpoint

Pet Supplies was born.

The summer makes us all more active and Debbie has noticed an increase in dog collars, toys and balls as more people take to exercising their dogs a little more than the cursory walk around the block they had been doing throughout the winter.

Debbie was swift to point out the need for flea and tick prevention treatments for both cats and dogs.

“The recent long hot summers have increased the risk”, she emphasised.

The shop offers treatments for animals and she also stocks products to eradicate the problem from carpets and furnishings. Lyme disease can be very bad for the pets owners if they get bitten by a tick.

Debbie suggested that in the case of fleas and ticks, prevention is far better than cure.

Other interesting figures about pets suggest that in the Westcountry around 7% of us keep pet fish. Debbie sells floating pellets which mean the fish come up to the surface to eat and their

owners can take stock of them.

One of her customers was amazed at just how many fish he had.

Summer also sees an increase in the demand for wild bird seed, dried worms and fat balls, although experts suggests that if you do feed birds you need to do it all year around.

You might not be in the garden in the winter to see them but the birds can still be there.

The shop does hold a wide range of stock for creatures of all kinds from birds and rodents to hedgehogs.

“What we don’t stock we can get in quite quickly,” said Debbie. The shop has two deliveries a week.

“We also offer free delivery in the Torpoint area on any orders over £10, especially handy for bulk packs of pet food or bedding.

And finally Debbie wanted to point out that they were the only stockist in the area for Nature’s Way dog food.

Torpoint Pet Supplies can be found in Macey Street. They can be contacted on 01752 657177 or visit their Facebook page for more information.

Artist Stuart Parker contributes to Maker Church bell tower appeal How do you help prop up a 900-year-old building?

With a paint brush!

When Kingsand artist Stuart Parker learned that Maker Church’s iconic bell tower risked being silenced, he set up his easel. He has generously donated the framed original painting (8.5 x 6.5 inches) to support the appeal to keep the bells pealing.

Organised by Maker Ringers, it has so far raised more than £18,000 towards the cost of repairing the belfry floor and roof.

A structural survey has been completed, but the total cost will not be known until quotations have been submitted.

The painting will be put up for silent auction with the winning sealed bid being announced at the church’s autumn fair in Kingsand Community Hall on November 9.

There have been bells in the 13th century granite and red sandstone tower of the Church of St Mary and St

Julian above Mount Edgcumbe at least since 1727.

They tolled that year to mark the death of George I, and for the coronation of George II. Proof of earlier bells is being sought from church inventories which have already revealed that the four bells hanging in 1727 were recast into the current six bells then rehung in a new oak timber frame in 1808.

A further series of fund-raising Tower Open Days is planned on August 24, 25, and 26, from 11.30am to 2.30pm.

There will be a coffee morning in Kingsand institute at 10am on Saturday, August 31, when the painting will be on display.

Anyone interested in bidding for this historic art should contact the Tower Captain, John Evans, at Meryton House, The Green, Kingsand, PL10 1NH (meryton@gmail.com). He would also welcome anyone interested in learning to ring.

Mayor’s Message

From Chris Goodman

In this month’s Mayor’s Column I would like to take the opportunity to thank a variety of people and groups that have served our community well.

On June 30 I attended the last service conducted by Canon, Rev. Lynn Parker before her move to her new parish. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Lynn for all the work she has undertaken in support of the community of Torpoint and wish her well in her new post.

On July 6 I opened Torpoint’s Field Day Festival accompanied by the Mayor’s Cadet, Miss Buffy Taylor. It was an excellent festival of fun with free face painting, bouncy castle and activities for the children. The event was well supported by the community with families staying until the light faded. I should like to thank all of the volunteers who made this event possible.

At 7.30pm I slipped away from the Festival for an hour to thank our Street Pastors who for

@TPChronicle the past seven years have been patrolling Fore Street at the weekend to help keep revellers safe. This was their last night providing such support and they are pleased to report that this support is no longer needed.

On July 12 the Mayor’s Cadet and I attended the Circo Coppola performance which was held in the Town Council Hall. The Hall was transformed thanks to the skill and expertise of Andy Martin and it was a joyful evening of song, dance and jokes. I should like to congratulate Kelly-Jane Brown, director, on an excellent performance which was enjoyed by the cast and audience alike.

Once again, I would like to thank the whole team who made this performance possible.

In October, we plan to hold a Plastic Free Torpoint Community event following on from the Plastics Awareness stall at the Field Day Festival.

As I reported last month on June 12 I met Dr Laurence Barnes of Penntorr Health to discuss the difficulty local residents are having with parking at the Health Centre. Steps have been taken by the Penntorr staff to improve the parking situation and made an effort to car share where possible.

Deliveries have been scheduled for early morning before morning surgery starts.

When investigating the use of the car parking area it has become apparent that there has been some unauthorised parking by individuals. Examples of this unauthorised use are motorists using the Penntorr car park as a ‘park and ride’, leaving the car in the car park and catching the bus into Torpoint.

Some individuals are parking the car in Penntorr and taking their dog for a walk. There is particular pressure on car parking spaces on Tuesday and Thursday mornings as these are the days that the specialist clinics are held, with extra staff attending to run the clinics, patients attending these clinics as well as the routine patient appointments.

We can all help by being mindful of what is authorised and unauthorised parking. Perhaps if our appointments or visits to the pharmacy are not urgent we could avoid the particularly busy Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

Recently, there has been a fundamental change in public expectation relating to grass verge cutting. We have been contacted by Torpoint residents who have emphasised the

need for minimal cutting of grass verges in order to improve the environment and local wildlife.

A meeting was arranged in July with Cornwall Council officers to discuss grass verges. We toured Torpoint seeking out potentially suitable sites for wildflower planting. I will share any progress on this in my next column.

Presentations were made at the Civic Service on Sunday July 14. Award Winners, nominated

by Councillor Lambert Keise for the Mayoral Year 2018/2019 were Roy Bright who received the Organisation of the Year Award for Churches Together; Dec Kelf Citizen of the Year for volunteering his electrical expertise over the last 10 years, particularly with the Christmas Lights and Mrs Chris Trethewey was posthumously awarded the Person of Courage for her dedication to the town. Ken Trethewey received the award on her behalf.

Thank you to all the children from Torpoint Nursery and Infant School and Carbeile Junior School who sang beautifully in St James Church, as well as the staff and parents who supported them. Thank you to Father Michael Brown for a wonderful Civic Service attended by over 350 people. This was followed by Any Occasions Catering who served a vintage tea at the Council Chambers, the conclusion of a true community celebration.

Finally, a reminder that the Torpoint Town Carnival will be held on Saturday September 14 in Cambridge Field.

A new community library that offers more than just books

The recently refurbished Torpoint Library, Information Service and Community Hub, is more than just a library. It’s the heart of the community, a safe and accessible place for everyone to enjoy. A place that has so much to offer in many key areas.

These include:

Memorial unveiling in September Torpoint Town Council is continuing to work on the project to erect a War Memorial in Eliot Square to commemorate civilians and service personnel from Torpoint who were killed in World War 2 and other conflicts.

The memorial is intended to provide an eloquent, silent witness to the tragic impact of world events on our Parish community and the sacrifices it has made in conflicts of the 20th Century and later.

Following the Town Council’s request for additional funding, the good news is nearly £3,000 has been received from relatives of the fallen, local organisations and residents – sincere thanks to all those who have donated.

The unveiling event is scheduled for

Sunday September 22, with the Parade marching down Antony Road from Albion Road and the service starting at 2.30pm.

Following the service the Parade will march back up Antony Road, after which refreshments will be served in the Council Chambers.

This is advance notice that for everyone’s safety road closures around Eliot Square will be in place for the duration of the service.

If you require further details on the unveiling event please contact the Town Clerk, Torpoint Town Council, 1 - 3 Buller Road, Torpoint, Cornwall PL11 2LD, or alternatively email clerk@ torpointtowncouncil.gov.uk or telephone: 01752 814165.

• Reading - lots of books and e-resources, plus organised reading activities such as Book Clubs, Rhymetimes and the Summer Reading Challenge.

• Learning - quiet spaces for study and reflection.

Arts and crafts groups too.

• Information - access information and speak to experts in important issues such as careers, health, housing and benefits.

• Digital - Five computers with Internet access, plus free Wi-Fi, scanning, photocopying and printing services. We also have a ‘Digital Champion’ who visits every Wednesday morning to provide guidance and instruction about everything digital.

• Health - self-help reading lists for common conditions, plus health related events and activities.

• Culture - research and explore the history of your local neighbourhoods and communities in the Torpoint Archives and Heritage Centre.

• Environment - a well stocked supply of recycling containment equipment, plus reusable seagull

proof sacks to prevent household waste littering the streets.

• Refreshments - relax and enjoy a cup of Cornish coffee and a slice of mouth-watering cake in Drecklys Cafe.

The library is also able to provide hot desking and meeting space facilities, which together with free Wi-Fi, photocopying/printing services and cafe, provides a full support package for local business men and women working from home.

And if all that’s not impressive enough, the library team are delighted to announce that it now has a Home Library Service up and running in partnership with the Royal Voluntary Service.

So if you know someone that can no longer get to the library because of health, mobility or caring responsibilities, please get in touch and the library will deliver some books as soon as we can.

However, the team would appreciate local residents’ thoughts on how they can further improve the services in the future and therefore better meet the needs of the community.

Residents are asked to complete an online survey at www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/9DKGMF9, phone us on 01752 812215, or email torpoint.library@ liscornwall.org.uk. Better still, pop-in and see them in person: they’d love to meet you.

And don’t forget to keep up-to-date with what’s currently going on by visiting our ‘Torpoint Library’ page on Facebook.

@TPChronicle Vicky and Helen enjoying a yachting experience

Plenty of cakes for sell...and volunteers to taste them!

Out on the water at the Mosquito Sailing Club open day

Great time out on the water at Mosquito Sailing Club open day Torpoint Mosquito Sailing Club had their annual summer open day giving newcomers the chance to get out on the water.

The sun shone and the breeze was just enough for sailing and windsurfing tasters, while dinghies and yachts were available for newcomers to experience sailing.

The opportunity was fully taken up all afternoon with plenty of people getting their first taste of sailing.

There was also windsurfing instruction ashore

Chance to get in the carnival spirit!

Are you creative? Do you like to dress up and have some fun? If you answered yes, why not enter Torpoint’s Annual Carnival either as an individual, pair, group or even on a float!

This year’s theme is Let’s Go Green reflecting the towns growing desire to increase awareness around recycling and using sustainable products.

So get thinking about how you could create a costume that fits this criteria. There will be cash prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category and the fun of being included in the Carnival Parade.

Alongside the parade, Cambridge Field will be filled with all sorts of groups who will offer activities and prizes to be won, with a Duck Race at the end of the day.

Organisers are also looking to set up a Friends of Cambridge Field community group to try and improve the park, so if you would like to be involved in this then please come along and talk to us on the day.

They look forward to seeing as many locals as possible on Saturday September 14 from 12pm4pm, for any enquiries please email online@ torpointtownpartnership.co.uk.

Street market update

The monthly street market held in Fore Street, Torpoint continues to go from strength to strength under the management of a new organisation Local Community Markets.

The founder members of the organisation Rachel Tanner, Rose Southworth, Jenny Hughes and Julie Martin are very pleased with the support they have received from traders, local businesses and the general public.

The new team, recognisable at the market by their pink hi-vis vests and referred to as ‘The Pink Ladies’ strive to create a vibrant atmosphere in Fore Street with an array of stalls selling seasonal products plus food and drink and by introducing street musicians to entertain potential shoppers as they browse.

The market runs on the last Sunday of the month from 10am to 3pm. For more details please contact The Pink Ladies on 07535600895 or email torpointmarkets@ gmail.com.

Change a child’s life forever

as well as in the water, balance was tested by many. The club’s diving section were also on hand to demonstrate the use of diving gear and encouraging visitors to join the club.

Inside the clubhouse, teas and cakes were available on sale from the lady volunteers as well as hot food from Kilbys Kitchen.

For those who experienced their first time afloat it may well lead to a number of new members for the club.

Well done to all the trainers, safety boat crews etc. and all volunteers for giving up their spare time to make the afternoon so enjoyable.

CHAT provides CLEAR way to help find work A vital new service has been launched by CHAT, Community Health Around Torpoint, in their offices in Old School House in Macey Street.

CLEAR, Chatlink Learning, Employment & Resources has been set up to help residents of the Rame Peninsula and Torpoint who are looking for work.

A self service computer suite has been installed with direct links to CV templates and letter writing plus interview skills and techniques, customer service, budgeting skills and any further training as needed. All facilities are available free of charge.

With changes in the benefit system and the introduction of Universal Credit, people may find that even if they are currently employed, they will have to search for further employment.

In addition, exam revision sessions are being investigated to offer young people additional help when sitting exams.

CHAT flagged up the need after listening to members of the community already experiencing difficuilties and training on the new Universal Credit system. CHAT contacted all organisations who provide assistance in the area presently and invited them to a meeting to discuss how present provision could be enhanced.

Becky Lingard, CHAT community development

manager, said: “CHAT believes in the strength of partnership working and not duplicating any services already available. There is so much needed that will benefit the community, it is pointless offering something already in place.

“We have worked with existing local providers and drawn up a timetable of services available in Torpoint by the organisations, so that people can access help Monday to Friday including evenings.

We are striving to address all the gaps in the present provision to help everyone with their searches and to try and make life a little easier.

The Job Centre are referring people to our facility so that they do not have to travel to Plymouth.”

Training courses and job vacancies will be advertised along with information on further help available.

Jenny Hughes, Link into Learning, explained that they have computers for people to use alongside educational training including IT skills, Maths and English. The Job Centres Work Club is available on Thursday mornings.

Paul Smythe, community hub manager said: “Anyone with a Cornwall Council library card, can use the five computers at the Torpoint Library, Information Service and Community Hub, free of charge. All computers have internet access, plus there are scanning, printing and photocopying facilities as well.

A ‘Digital Champion’ visits every Wednesday

morning between 10am and 12 noon teaching essential digital skills, to enable people to get online and use online services with confidence.

Jane Taverner, change coach for Positive People said: “Active Plus delivers unique programmes that build confidence, motivation and self belief amongst a wide range of vulnerable groups.

We are core partner within the Positive People Programme which is funded via the European Social Fund and National Lottery Community Fund.

“Our offer within the project is twofold and consists of bespoke 1-2-1 support and intervention along with our inspiring courses delivered by our WIS (wounded injured and sick) veterans.

Our veterans all have great stories to tell, they empathise, inspire and challenge, all in a way that is a powerful force for change.

“The project is focused around tackling a variety of needs with the main goal of moving people forward in their lives into training and education or employment.”

CLEAR is available Monday to Friday 9.30am to 3.30pm and computer usage can be booked in hour-long slots at the office or by phoning 01752 812020. CHAT’s Facebook will be kept up to date with CLEAR information too.

For further information or if you have skills that you are able to offer people looking for work, Becky Lingard can be contacted direct on 07837551828.

New council support network to secure best outcome for children in care in Cornwall A new support service is being launched in Cornwall to give greater support to foster carers and the children they look after.

The new Specialist Support team is made up of social workers, family supporter workers, youth workers, family therapists and educational psychologists from Cornwall Council’s Together for Families.

The aim of the 10-strong team is to provide an unparalleled support network for carers and those in their care, liaising with enhanced social work teams in the east and west of Cornwall to deliver planned preventative and therapeutic support where it is most needed and at the right time.

Fostering Service manager, Julie Goodwin, said: “Over the last few months we have undergone a process of change, which has been informed by our feedback from foster carers and internal experience. This reconfiguration centres on a renewed focus on targeted and early support to

foster carers, children and young people, with a vision to improve placement stability and secure the best outcomes for Cornwall’s children in care.”

Trauma and abuse experienced by young people in their early lives can lead to challenging behaviours that can place additional stresses on their placement and relationship with carers.

Working closely with wider support teams will allow the Specialist Fostering Support Team to develop a deeper level of understanding of any potential issues, allowing for earlier intervention.

The wide skills and experience of the new team mean it will have the ability to work across all age ranges and situations to better equip foster carers to therapeutically parent children and young people who have experienced trauma.

In addition, the role of the Specialist Support Team will be to enhance the training and development strategies for existing foster carers by providing regular group work and learning opportunities for them.

Cabinet Member for Children, Wellbeing and

Public Health, Sally Hawken, added: “Our aim is not only to have the best support network in the country, but to also have the best trained, skilled and informed foster carers to bring about the most positive change and eventual outcomes for all children and young people in care.”

The new Specialist Support Team will launch

activity dates for children and young people in care at key points throughout the year, as part of their combined role supporting both foster carers and those in their care.

For more information about fostering and fostering support with Cornwall Council, visit www. fosterincornwall.co.uk or call 01872 323 638.

Thanckes Park needs your votes!

Torpoint’s Thanckes Park has been nominated for UK’s Best Park 2019 Award.

UK’s Best Park is an annual award run by Fields in Trust, an independent charity with over 90 years experience protecting parks and green spaces.

The award celebrates the parks and green spaces which are the green lungs of local communities.

Thanckes Park is one of over 360 parks and green spaces across the UK which have been nominated and now Torpoint needs the support of the local community to help it to be crowned UK’s Best Park 2019.

In 2017 Thanckes Park was awarded Queen Elizabeth II Field status to mark the Diamond Jubilee.

The Friends of Thanckes Park were awarded

£4,000 by Fields in Trust, which ran the Queen Elizabeth II Fields Challenge.

Although the population of Torpoint is only about 10,000, the Park received around 500 votes and came in fourth in the UK. The people of Torpoint really showed their support for Thanckes Park at the time. As a Queen Elizabeth II Field, it is now protected as an open space.

Voting closes at 12 noon on Monday August 19, after which the parks with the most votes in each of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland will be shortlisted. The park with the most votes overall will then be named UK’s Best Park 2019.

Vote for Thanckes Park online by midday on August 19 at www.fieldsintrust.org/best-park/ south-west

@TPChronicle

WilderMe launches autism retreats in Maker Heights WilderMe is an exciting new initiative providing peaceful holidays immersed in the beautiful natural surroundings of the Rame Peninsula for people with autism and their carers. Participants enjoy the restorative power of nature and sleep in luxurious Eco Geodomes with views of the sea and the stars.

Founders Geoff Lea and Natalie Faulds-Lea have grown WilderMe from an acorn of an idea into the first autism-led holiday of its kind in the UK. WilderMe’s unique package is tailor-made for adults with autism and combines luxury glamping with activities such as storytelling, stand-up paddleboarding, pottery, music by campfire session, Shinrin-Yoku and foraging with wild cookery class.

The focus is on developing inner wellbeing, resilience and long-term social connections.

Finding the right location for the retreats was crucial.

Natalie explained: “The first time we visited the Rame Peninsula, we fell in love with it instantly. This area has all of the magical ingredients required to make WilderMe the success

we know it will be, from its strong sense of community to the outstanding views, and the kind of eclectic natural landscape you just don’t quite find anywhere else. WilderMe has found its home.”

WilderMe supports its own community by working with over 10 local businesses and other social enterprises, as well as the Rame Conservation Trust, the charity which manages the land where WilderMe will be sited this season.

WilderMe has already gained a great deal of positive local and national attention, with groups arriving from as far afield as Sheffield this Summer.

WilderMe resourcefully offers their site for other wellbeing groups so that more people with autism can enjoy this experience as part of a subsidised holiday package.

WilderMe is currently Crowdfunding through NatwestBackHerBusiness to purchase insulation and furnish the Geodomes ready for their first guests’ arrival in August. They have already hit 92% of their target. To help them reach their final goal or for more information on this exciting new Cornish venture check out www.wilderme.com.

Fashion show at college Torpoint Community College hosted ‘A Midsummer Night’s Fashion Show’ in July.

Antiques, poetry and theatre for Wilcove

Wilcove WI were delighted with the success of their recent Antiques Evaluation Day, when Richard Hamm, representing the auctioneers and valuers Barnes, Hampton and Littlewood, assessed items brought in by visitors.

He was kept busy all day and, although we don’t think that he identified any priceless heirlooms, everyone seemed pleased with the information he had provided. Plentiful delicious refreshments were available to the visitors while they waited for their turn.

The event raised about £190 and this will be combined with £75 raised at the Wilcove Annual Carol Service to provide a donation to Cornwall Air Ambulance.

There was plentiful laughter at the July meeting of Wilcove WI when the Cornish performance poet and entertainer Clive Blake recited some of his insightful and often humorous poems with the help of comical props and excellent acting skills.

There was more laughter for members when they went to a performance of ‘Calendar Girls’ at the Theatre Royal, and another theatre visit in August to STERTS to see ‘West End to Broadway’.

Members got plenty of exercise as well, with a very informative and enjoyable guided walk around Portwrinkle, Crafthole and Sheviock followed by a cream tea.

Having enjoyed some pottery sessions earlier this year, members will be learning about fused glass at some workshops in Millbrook with Wendy Harrison of Confused Glass during the summer.

The next meeting is on Tuesday September 16 at 7.30pm in Cove Hall, Wilcove, when the speaker will be Jane Marshall, talking about Restoring antique boxes and marbled paper.

Visitors can be assured of a warm welcome.

Students had the chance to take to the catwalk modelling their amazing textiles work which they have made over this Academic Year. There was also an exhibition in the college foyer showcasing the excellent art work made by Key Stage 4 and 5 Art and Design Technology students.

The show also comprised of two stunning dances, one a tribute to the band Queen where the student dance troupe wore Freddie style jackets. The other dance was an elegantly performed fairy ballet which was part of their ‘Midsummer Night’s dream finale’.

(See picture above).

Staff members strutted their stuff on the catwalk in beautiful dresses borrowed from Jane Louise of Liskeard.

The event also had former students returning to perform a rocking medley of Queen songs!

Thank you to everyone involved in making the show an amazing night.

Religion and politics - topics to be avoided for discussion when on holiday

By Revd Colin Phipps, Minister of Cornerstone Church, Torpoint

Earlier this year my wife and I went on holiday to Egypt and had a wonderful time visiting the Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, and many other great sights.

When on holiday I usually try to avoid telling people what my occupation is or I end up spending the whole week talking about church, religion and why God lets the good die young, etc.

But during a conversation when on holiday this year I broke my own rule and ended up talking about religion and politics. Somebody asked me what I did for a living and after I told him he asked me the question, ‘Do you think that Jesus was left wing or right wing?’

I replied that anyone whose primary aim was to transform the way in which we run our world in favour of the poor and marginalised is surely left wing. Furthermore, what we receive from God in Jesus is grace – which is all about what we need rather than what we deserve.

So I believe the left is far more right. But it is

not about the moral high ground, it’s about what is missing in the (very worthy) Protestant work ethic when applied to poor people.

What we have seen in the expansion of Food Banks all across the UK is that one of the significant groups of users are those people who are working – often at more than one job – but still do not earn enough to meet their needs and those of their families.

I find myself asking, ‘what happens to people who are willing but unable to earn enough?’ Is it morally acceptable that the financial pain of cutbacks in society is borne by the poorest and most economically vulnerable sections of our community?

What ought we to do about the fact that austerity measures are widening the gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’?

These are just aspects of the key question we all ought to be asking all of the time –What would Jesus do?

God’s Blessings - Colin
