Feeling fitter than ever in the New Year Physiotherapist Sarah Harris, who many will know has lived and worked in the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula area for 22 years as a local physiotherapist, is setting up a private practice and moving to ‘Trot House’ in Fore Street Torpoint.

Sarah has many years of experience, qualifying in 1984. She has embraced the challenge of being a working mum for many years whilst working part time for the NHS originally at Saltash and Torpoint Community Health Centres, and then concentrating in Torpoint since 1996.

Many local people will have experienced first hand her sensitivity and care as their local physiotherapist and will be very interested to hear of her latest plans.

Sarah explains, “Now that my boys are older and settled at secondary school I decided that I needed a challenge. My husband Richard of Richard Harris Solicitors is moving to new offices in the recently converted “Trot House” and as part of the project I have had two treatment rooms built to move in with him. I am practising as “Torpoint Physio Sarah Harris” from the private physiotherapy practice on the High Street at Torpoint.”

Sarah will be continuing her clinics at the Penntorr Community Health Centre, but feels that she can offer added value with private practice. Her service is by appointment only, up to a full hour for initial consultations, and then half hourly follow ups

as required. Often patients either have had a series of treatment but need some extra time to heal well, or are having difficulty getting to appointments outside of work hours. Anyone can access Sarah’s private practice by self referral.

Sarah can also offer home visits which can make life so much easier for clients with mobility issues.

Conditions which can be helped by physiotherapy include backs, necks, headaches, joint, muscular and ligament problems. Sarah herself gets treatment for a chronic chest condition which can affect her thoracic spine.

Despite this she remains fit and active, running regularly with her husband. “My wish is to get my patients back to normal movement as soon as possible which is the quickest way to restore function and alleviate pain.

Sarah utilises a wide range of treatments including manipulation, mobilisation, acupuncture, ultrasound, advice and exercise. She uses up to date and research based techniques and treatments but can also draw upon 30 years of experience.

The hope is that in the future the Practice will develop to include other clinical specialities such as podiatry and osteopathy.

The new physiotherapy practice is hoping to open up in December or early January and Sarah suggests that you call her on 01752 816756 to get those aches and pains sorted.

Solicitors move to the Trot Inn Torpoint Specialist personal injury solicitors Richard Harris Solicitors are moving from their base in Cawsand after 10 years to have a high street presence in offices in Fore Street, Torpoint.

The former Trot Inn has been converted into offices and re-named ‘Trot House’ and will be opening for business this month.

Initially the firm will continue to undertake only personal injury cases.

Richard Harris said: “It is quite a big step after 10 years to move offices and we will take some time to consolidate. There are huge advantages in being a small, lean firm.

“We do not intend to expand too quickly and lose our individual approach but long term with the right people, the intention is to diversify into a broader service for the local community.

Although it will be a completely separate business, Richard’s wife Sarah Harris will be setting up a private physiotherapy practice ‘The Torpoint Physio Sarah Harris’ which will operate from rooms at Trot House and she can be contacted on 01752 816756. (see story above).

Richard has said that he would like to thank all those who have helped with the plans and the building works and also the many people who have wished both Richard and Sarah success in the new premises.

Richard Harris can be contacted for advice on personal injury claims on 01752 816756 or 01752 822224 or by e-mail on rh@rhsols.co.uk Web site: www.richardharrissolicitors.co.uk

Local funeral directors win prestigious award Local independent funeral directors, Pidgen & Son, have recently been awarded with a prestigious national award for customer service after being praised by people in the area who bought a prepaid funeral plan from them during 2014/15.

John Ware and colleagues at the Walter C Parson Group received the 2015 Customer Service Award following responses to a customer survey conducted by Funeral Planning Services, the company which provides administrative and investment services associated with prepaid funeral plans.

Plan buyers who responded to the questionnaire said they felt Pidgen & Son, provided them with a helpful and informative service which made making arrangements easy and provided peace

of mind that final wishes were set out clearly and paid for.

Plan buyers said they had peace of mind knowing their loved ones would not be burdened with having to make decisions at a difficult time, or have to worry about unexpected financial costs when the time came.

Pre-paid funeral plans – whereby funeral arrangements can be made and paid for at today’s prices, however many years pass by before that funeral needs to take place – are an increasingly welcome way to invest at today’s prices and avoid the difficulties associated with quickly rising funeral service costs.

One person who completed their questionnaire said: “Excellent plan ensuring my needs are met.”

Rame Peninsula Neighbourhood Development Plan • continued from front page Following the statutory period of consultation, the Neighbourhood Plan has to pass a ‘test of soundness’ by a Government appointed planning inspector.

If it passes the test a local referendum will be held and will be adopted if 51 per cent of those voting support the plan.

Cornwall councillor for the Rame Peninsula, Cllr

George Trubody and Chairman of the Rame Peninsula Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group said: “A lot of work has gone into this plan by the parish councils over the last few years and I would like to thank them for all their hard work to make this happen.

“I look forward to seeing this plan go to a full referendum some time in 2016.”

John Ware of Pigden & Son received the Customer Service award at a gala award dinner held by Funeral Planning Services from chief executive, David Taylor, held at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, one of the UK’s top venues

Gu 10 ar yea an r te e

Sailors from the Royal Navy, local schoolchildren and members of the public have gathered to pay their respects to a soldier who died 225 years ago, buried in a lone grave in Cornwall.

The grave of the soldier was found at Maker Heights, on the Rame Peninsula, by Warrant Officer 1 (WO1) Darren ‘Fruity’ Paskins MBE. The 46-year-old, who lives in Torpoint and works at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC), regularly camps at the site with his dog Ralf. He originally spotted the grave on a map and set out to find it, fighting through brambles and bracken to eventually come across the stone marking the last resting place of the soldier who died in 1790.

Having sought permission to restore the area, WO1 Paskins, who is BRNC’s Ceremonial Training Officer spent much of his spare time clearing the area of vegetation and once the grave was restored organised the small service of Remembrance.

The service, conducted by the Reverend Keith Robus, Royal Navy Chaplain, included Officer Cadets from BRNC and trainee sailors from HMS Raleigh, along with Major Charlie King of the Rifles, children from Fourlanesend School and local people.

WO1 Paskins said: “I was overwhelmed by the number of people who attended the service to show their respect for a soldier who died so long ago protecting our country. There is a long-lasting bond of mutual respect between military personnel, which is something we teach during initial naval training, and I thought it was important for us all to remember him.

“Details on the soldier are scant.

The stone has been worn away by vegetation over the years, but I managed to make out he was called James, he was a Grenadier and he died of drowning in 1790.

“A lady who attended the service said she believed he was called James Ashton and I hope to confirm that and find out more about him by accessing the pay records for the regiment at the National Archives in Kew. “I’ve an interest in military history and I’ve found out he would have been in the Royal Fusiliers, a member of the 7th Regiment Of Foot, and he would have been defending the cannons stationed here to combat the risk of invasion from the French and Spanish who were allied with America during the War of Independence.”

The position where the grave lies is known as a redoubt. It was abandoned in 1815 as better

defences were built across the Rame Peninsular. Maker continued to play its part in the defence of Plymouth and more specifically the Naval Base as recently as the Second World War. A Heavy Anti-Aircraft battery was built in the late 1930s and altered in the 40s. WO1 Paskins’s next project will be to restore the World War 2 gun emplacements, by cutting back all the overgrown vegetation.

American troops also mustered on the Rame Peninsular in preparation for the D-Day landing.

Today Maker Heights is preserved for the community by the Rame Peninsular Conservation

Trust, a registered charity.

The Chair of Trustees, Geoff Moore, said: “There are exciting things happening at Maker Heights centred on the arts and music and it is sometimes possible that the military history of the site takes a back seat.

With his efforts to clear the site of the soldier’s grave, put in the research to try and identify him and organise this ceremony of remembrance, WO1 Paskins has not only brought the site’s history to the fore but has also given us a personal connection to a man who lived in that environment over two hundred years ago.”

Kingsand Quilter’s impressive new work The Kingsand Quilters officially handed over their newly completed wall hanging quilted Christmas panel to Stephen Michael who received the quilt on behalf of the Kingsand Community Hall for display in the hall every Christmas.

The idea for the quilt came from Mr Michael who saw the image on a Christmas Advent calendar before last Christmas.

He thought it would make a wonderful picture for the Hall and approached the Quilters.

The project has just been completed and Mr Michael expressed his thanks for all the hard work of the Kingsand Quilters and their generosity in donating it to the Community Hall.

This quilt’s first public display to the people of Kingsand and Cawsand was be at the switching on of the Christmas Tree lights on Saturday November 21 during the annual carol singing, mulled wine

and mince pies evening at the Community Hall.

Mrs Moira Knaggs is pictured (left) presenting the quilt to Mr Michael together with (from left to right), Monica Maaz, founding

Life saving defibrillator installed in Torpoint A defibrillator for use by the community in the event of a cardiac emergency has been officially opened at Clifford Motors - the Esso Garage - in Torpoint.

A defibrillator is a lifesaving machine that is used on someone who has suffered a cardiac arrest, and can be used by anybody without training. It only works if the patient requires it, and once activated the machine provides verbal instructions.

The chances of survival from a person suffering sudden cardiac arrest decreases by ten per cent per minute. Defibrillators need to be used on a patient extremely quickly to give the patient the best chances of survival, and until the emergency services arrive on the scene.

The area around Antony Road has a high footfall and passing traffic and the location of Clifford Motors is a site that is highly visible and accessible.

The Town Council felt that the purchase of a defibrillator was imperative to increase the safety of its residents and visitors.

Town Mayor Mike Pearn said: “On behalf of the Town Council I am delighted to see a defibrillator

Cheque boost for Carbeile Junior School clubs Carbeile Junior School was presented with a cheque for £500 from the Royal Naval Association to be split between two important clubs running in the school.

Firstly, HMS Heroes is a club which meets every week to give the children of service personnel a chance to talk to each other about similar issues and for the school to lend support whenever needed.

Secondly, the Field Gun Club, which also meets every week.

The teams have competed against many other schools as far afield as HMS Collingwood in Portsmouth in the Field Gun routine.

The cheque was presented to headtacher Pete Hamlyn by Jan, Maddy and Sonia from the Royal Naval

Christmas at GreenSails Stunning Christmas bouquets with seasonal foliage all gorgeously gift wrapped.

Door wreaths, table centres, arrangements, and remembrance tributes.

Christmas trees, festive flowering plants, pine branches, holly, candles, glitter twigs, dried oranges, cinnamon sticks, gifts and Christmas decorations plus much more…..

Orders now being taken.

Batman, aka Pete Hamlyn receives the cheque from the Royal Naval Association at Carbeile Junior School Association. Pete was dressed as batman to support BBC Children in Need, where all children and staff came to school

dressed as their hero.

Some children came as their mums or dads, some came as famous sports stars or super

heroes and some came as figures from history.

The school raised £314 for charity.

End of an era as Torpoint’s Electrical Shop set to close Gareth and Gillian Evans, proprietors of the Electrical Shop in Torpoint, have announced that they are to retire at the end of the year.

The couple said: “The time has come after 20 years of service as proprietors of The Electrical Shop, for us to retire, and it is with reluctance that we will be closing the doors at the end of December and there will no longer be an electrical shop in Torpoint.

“However, that doesn’t mean that our customers will not be able to purchase their electrical appliances from a Euronics dealer. Our colleagues, Pridhams Electrical Centre, in Callington will help you with your purchases, either over the telephone or at Callington.

“Alternatively you can go to the Euronics website where you can order from a large selection of products. If you then select Pridhams as your preferred Euronics partner for delivery, your order will be dealt with in the same way as we would have done.

“Steve and Barbara Pridham have been colleagues and friends for a long time and we can say, with confidence, that you will get first class service from them and their staff. Steve also has a television repair and installation service available, which we know has been lacking in Torpoint for some time.

“Please see Pridham’s advert which will give all the

contact details for Steve and his team.

“We are sure, also, that if you have any issues regarding goods under guarantee going wrong that Pridhams will be able to advise you, although firstly you should refer to the paperwork supplied with your appliance together with your receipt from us.

“If you have lost your receipt, please call in during December and we will supply you with a duplicate for a small donation into one of our charity boxes.

“We would like to say thank you to all our customers for the support they have given. There are many people who have become familiar and regular customers and many with whom we have shared fun and laughter throughout the day.

“There are many who supported us through the nearly crippling fire in 2010, making us determined that the ‘phoenix would rise from the ashes’.

“Jason, who has worked for us for seven years has made everything possible with his helpful, courteous and loyal support, and we know many of you are grateful for his help throughout the years.

We wish him well in his future job choice.

“We are looking forward to our retirement. We won’t be bored – we have plenty of projects lined up to keep us active.”

Concert is an entertaining success!

Lions Clubs of the South West held their Annual Autumn forum at Okehampton College recently.

It was a very lively gathering with over 100 Lions from all over the South West, from Penzance to Clevedon in Bristol As always, the district officers were present in various rooms with displays of their projects and were on hand to answer any questions may like to ask.

District officers are the team who run the district under the watchful eye of the District Governor.

Their portfolios run from youth project and administration and they are all very well informed on their various roles.

One of the highlights of the day was a presentation given by two Leo Clubs – young Lions between the ages of 13 and 18, who are too young to be Lions.

They are totally autonomous and run themselves exactly the same as Lions clubs, only needing permission from their parent Lions club to spend their money, as the Lions club ultimately responsible for their expenditure.

They gave a talk on how they raised £400 by selling doughnuts at a local college, which we all thought was a very unique and different way to fund raise. They actually raised the money in just 10 minutes. What a great idea. Young people do get a lot of bad press, yet here were a dozen youngsters showing the good side of youth.

This year the annual Poppy Appeal concert held at St James Church was as usual very well supported. The concert is jointly organised by Torpoint and Rame Lions club and the local branch of the Royal British Legion.

This year saw four choirs singing , the Reflections Choir, joining the usual three – Rame Peninsular Male Voice Choir, Carbeile Junior School Choir and Torpoint Lady Singers were Reflections Choir.

Drummers of the Royal Marine Cadet band started the evening then the choirs sang followed by community singing ending with a Service of Remembrance. Compere John Tivnan did a sterling job keeping everyone entertained.

Standard bearers came from across the county as well as invited VIPs including Mayor Mike Pearn and the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall Col Edward Bolitho.

Bob the poppy man who was made by pupils of Mount Tamar school out of 1500 poppies donated to the school by the Torpoint branch of the Royal British Legion was displayed in the church.

All ticket money and sale of poppies will go to the Royal British Legion along with the raffle money. Well done to all taking part and organisers who made the evening successful and rewarding.

We welcomed two new members who have joined our club – Town Crier Clive O’Shaughnesy and a new treasurer Lion Samantha Devine. At the same meeting Lion Richard Pymm was presented with his ten year chevron. It is always pleasing to welcome new members because without a thriving club raising money is more difficult.

So if anyone feels they can spare a few hours to help us raise money or join our club they would be most welcome. We only meet once a month so if anyone is interested becoming a Lion the contact number for the Lion President Steve Morris is 01752 816427. By the way, we also have fun!

Wheelchair loan co-ordinator is still Lion Norman Nethercott so any one requiring a loan wheelchair please contact Norman on 01752 812567. All we ask is a donation at the end of use.

Don’t forget that the New Year’s day dip will be held again at Cawsand with registration taking place at Kingsand village hall in the morning. Everyone is welcome to enter as teams, individuals or pairs.

Trophies for best fancy dress in the various categories will be presented at a special evening, with all judging for fancy dress taking place in the hall before proceeding to Cawsand beach.

Sponsor forms are now available and anyone interested in taking part in the dip should contact Dave Rosson on 01752 812582 and he will tell you where forms can be obtained. Please come along to take

part or just to support a chance to blow the cobwebs away and help dippers and us to raise some money for their charities and ours so we can support the local community.

The dip will start at 12.30pm on New year’s Day after the parade through the villages.

Thank you all for your support without it we would not be able to donate much needed money to all the local charities. On behalf of Torpoint and Rame Lions Club we would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year.

The Lions International Peace Poster Contest encourages children aged between 11 and 13 to creatively express what peace means to them.

The 2015-2016 contest theme is ‘Share Peace’ and allows students to share their unique image of peace with others, so that we may all have greater tolerance and international understanding.

This year students from 2nd Torpoint Guides represented Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Lions Club in this contest.

First prize winner was Bethan Cowdes aged 12, second place went to Kaitlyn Lanaster aged 12 and third prize winner was Lydia Baggaley also aged 12.

Posters were evaluated on three criteria which were originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme, ‘Share Peace.’ Thanks to our judge this year, Monica Maaz.

Hundreds of thousands of children from around the world share their visions of peace and Torpoint and Rame Lions wish them well as they progress in the contest.

New book focuses on the ferry

Marcus Lazenby

Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Lions met up with Marcus Lazenby, one of the young authors of a new book ‘The Torpoint Ferry’ at Torpoint Library to find out what it was all about.

The project follows up on an idea which started when some children noted that reading was difficult for them, and that they were more inspired when reading books that were of real interest to them.

The book writing project gives these children the opportunity to write their own books on a topic which interests them, and that can be shared with other children and the wider community.

The finished book is full of interesting facts about the ferry and is a very good read. For your copy call in at Carbeile School or Kardkadia in Tamar Street, Torpoint.

Price is £5 each with proceeds going to Carbeile School to benefit the next group of children who want to be inspired to be involved in this great project.

Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Lions Club are very happy to have been able to sponsor such a worthwhile project.

Further details about the project is available from the Cornwall Dyslexia Service dyslexia@cornwall.gov.uk

risk of ill-health and fuel poverty.

Over the last four years, the programme has helped 10,400 people and reached many more with useful information and advice.

This has saved 675 hospital admissions.

Anyone who struggles in the winter months is encouraged to get in touch to see if they can get help.

Winter Wellbeing provides information, advice and practical help for people at risk of the effects from cold and damp housing.

This includes a helpline providing advice and referrals to agencies that can help households with practical measures, access to grants and information about ways people can help themselves.

The freephone helpline number is 0800 9541956, operated by Community Energy Plus. The local charity and social enterprise will be providing advice about staying warm and combating damp and mould, as well as assisting vulnerable householders with applications for insulation and heating schemes.

On Saturday November 21 the Steering group of the Torpoint Neighbourhood Development Plan ran a number of consultation presentations showcasing a vision for Torpoint. The event was wellattended and prompted great discussion on how a future Torpoint could look. Full details will be published in the New Year.

New CityBus timetable

Torpoint Town Council has had a meeting with CityBus and a new timetable will be in place in January with a new route which will go into Plymouth via Union Street.

Torpoint Community College

Wardrobe bursting at the seams? Can’t fit another outfit in? Well Torpoint Community College can help! A very kind parent has donated her daughter’s prom dress to the college and this gave them an idea. Lots of you have ball gowns and prom dresses taking up space in your wardrobes which you know will never be worn again. The college would like to put them to good use and set up a ‘store’ of dresses for students who can then hire them for the prom and make a donation to a charity. We would love it if you passed these dresses on to us. Ideally they need to be clean and ready for the next person to wear. Please contact the College or pass your dress in to the reception.

with appropriate signage to enable those using the park and the grass cutters to be aware of them, please help to keep this park looking good for the future. Meanwhile why not join the FOTP committee: all are welcome. If you’re not a member, you can join. FOTP needs volunteers to serve on the committee, please consider volunteering.

Please come along and offer your support your park needs you today more than ever before!

David has also added a team silver to the individual bronze medal already bagged at the ITTF Para Table Tennis European Championships in Vejle, Denmark.

Warning as reports of new wave of scam calls received from all over Cornwall

Cornwall Council’s Trading Standards team is warning of a new wave of scam calls after more than a dozen reports of a man telephoning householders purporting to be calling from Cornwall County Council investigations department.

The male caller identifies himself as either Michael or Peter and says that he is investigating accidents that the householder has been involved in.

Cornwall Trading Standards Officers are warning the public that these calls are bogus. Senior trading standards officer Gary Webster commented: “The scammers appear to be ringing people and asking about accidents that they have allegedly been involved in – whether they have been or not.

“It would then just be a short step to the scammer offering help in claiming or even offering compensation and potentially asking for bank account or other personal details.”

If members of the public need to verify the identity of a Cornwall staff member they can call 0300 1234 100. If you are concerned that you, or someone you know has been a victim of a scam, please seek advice from Citizens Advice Consumer Service on 03454 04 05 06. You can also report the matter to Action Fraud on 0300 123 20 40.

The Winter Wellbeing programme This is the fifth year that organisations across Cornwall have joined forces to run the campaign that aims to reduce preventable winter deaths and help those at

Cornwall’s gritters are on standby to deal with forecasts for ice and snow. Having put together the annual winter service plan, Cornwall Council and CORMAC are reminding members of the public to make sure that they drive safely according to the road and weather conditions.

The council is responsible for over 7,520 kilometres (4,530 miles) of roads – one of the largest road networks in the country - ranging from principal roads to narrow country lanes. Last year the authority spent £1.1m keeping Cornwall’s roads safe during the winter with the fleet of gritting lorries using 7,750 tonnes of salt on over 75,600 km (47,000 miles) of the road network on the 58 occasions gritting took place.

The A30 from the boundary with Devon to Penzance and the A38, which are the main trunk roads through Cornwall, are the responsibility of Highways England which manages its own winter service. Highways England uses Cornwall Council’s salt barns as the base for its own gritting operations. It takes around three hours to treat each of the council’s 25 pre salting routes.

CORMAC staff are on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week - including Christmas Day - to enable them to respond to emergency situations at very short notice.

The salt used by the council is provided from salt mines in Northern Ireland. Every year the council pre orders salt which is then stored in a number of covered barns based in highways depots throughout Cornwall. It currently has around 19,500 tonnes of salt ready for use this winter and will, as usual, buy additional stock during the winter months if required.

CORMAC staff monitor the weather conditions throughout the day and night, liaising closely with forecasters specifically employed for this task. They also use information from 22 roadside sensors which measure road surface temperature and other factors such as salt levels, precipitation, air temperature, dew point and wind speed which is then relayed back to both the forecasters and highways staff. This information is used to decide if and when to carry out the pre-salting treatments.

If you find a dangerous situation on any road please, safely, let the Council know.

This year as in previous years, the council will be using Twitter (@CornwallCouncil) to provide information about disruptions to services such as school closures caused by the snow and ice as well as posting the information on its website, www.cornwall.gov.uk.

You can also follow @cormacLtd for details of when the gritters will be going out across Cornwall.

On behalf of Val, my family, Town Councillors and Council Staff I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Act of Remembrance to honour the fallen

Around 500 Service personnel from HMS Raleigh took part in the Service

Sailors from HMS Raleigh lay crosses on the war graves Around 500 Service personnel based at HMS Raleigh marched to Horson cemetery in Torpoint on November 6 for an Act of Remembrance Service at the war graves.

The cemetery is the last resting place of 74 service personnel; 48 sailors, 25 soldiers and one airman.

Of those, 44 sailors and 21 Royal Engineers lost their lives when a German bomb hit an air-raid shelter within HMS Raleigh in April 1941, during the Plymouth Blitz.

The Service was conducted by the Reverend Nigel Beardsley, one of HMS Raleigh’s Royal Navy Chaplains. Attendees ranged from the most junior trainees to the senior Officer, Captain Rob Bellfield ADC, the Commanding Officer of HMS Raleigh.

of the youngest trainees at the base, laid wreaths at the war memorial. Sailors also placed crosses of Remembrance on each war grave.

Capt Bellfield said: “It’s always a proud occasion to honour our forbears whose bravery continues to be an inspiration to those of us who serve today.

For our young recruits this experience and marching alongside the other veterans in Remembrance parades across South East Cornwall will reinforce the Naval Service core values and standards of selfless commitment and mutual respect.”

On Sunday November 8 Capt Bellfield attended the Civic Remembrance parade in Torpoint accompanied by a platoon of 50 sailors who are undergoing their specialist training at HMS Raleigh. Capt Bellfield laid a wreath on behalf of the Royal Navy. Platoons of sailors from the base also took part in Civic Remembrance parades in Saltash and Fowey.

Most of those buried in the war graves died when a bomb hit HMS Raleigh on 28 April 1941

Submariners gather to remember

The Officer-in-Charge of the Submarine School, Cdr Irvine Lindsay, with members of the Submariners Association

Staff, trainees and veteran submariners gathered at the Royal Navy Submarine School within HMS Raleigh for the school’s annual Act of Remembrance.

Around 70 people gathered in the rain for the service, which took place at the statue of the unknown submariner. Wreaths were laid by the Officer-in-charge of the School, Commander Irvine Lindsay, the youngest Rating under training, and members of the Submariners Association.

Local craft, creativity, culture and cuisine the focus of Wilcove Women’s Institute as 2015 draws to an end 2015 has been a busy year for the WI both locally and nationally and as the year draws to a close our members are left with so many wonderful shared experiences and memories.

While the majority of the WI Centenary celebrations were focused around the summer, the autumn and winter months have also provided the ladies of Wilcove WI with several opportunities to try out new activities and to continue to socialise with members from neighbouring WIs. In October two of our ladies joined Maker with Rame WI on a visit to Healey’s Cyder Farm at Penhallon near Newquay while two other members enjoyed a ‘Harvest Tea’ at Crafthole WI. Our heartfelt thanks to the members of the neighbouring WI’s for these kind invitations which give us the unique opportunity to celebrate the diversity of our membership and all the WI has to offer.

Our speaker for October was Pamela Dorrington who using a series of anecdotal stories introduced us to the history of Carew-Pole family who have been the landowners and occupants of Anthony Estate and house since the 15th century www.nationaltrust.org.uk/antony.

Our speaker for November was the very inspiring Margaret Parker who has had a remarkable career as a Fleet Street journalist, lawyer and market researcher.

Margaret certainly kept us entertained as she recalled the many highlights of her varied occupations. From interviewing Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher about the challenges facing women entering politics through to engaging with the general public during her market research Margaret gave us the distinct impression there is little in life that she could and would not take on (except for a pet Tarantula spider which she declined meeting while interviewing it’s owner during a ‘door to door’ survey.)

In November local artist Paul Cardew opened the doors to his pottery studio at Rame Barton Farm and gave our members the opportunity to make their own bespoke Christmas decorations and try working the clay using the potter’s wheel. While none of our attempts were worthy of entry to the BBC’s Great Pottery Throw Down our ladies were certainly pleased with the glazed and fired pottery pieces they crafted.

On November 26 Wilcove WI hosted an afternoon ‘Knit & Natter’ session to which WI members and non-members were invited. During the afternoon a number of knitting, weaving and braiding activities were on offer. From joining Lorraine (a Wilcove WI member) in a workshop to learn the ancient Viking skill of Lucet weaving through to knitting a WI inspired necklace or ‘Knitting for Peace’ www.knitforpeace.org.uk/projects-and-patterns there was plenty to keep those who attended busy.

As December arrives the Wilcove WI committee are not only completing arrangements for our members annual Christmas dinner but are also starting to plan a calendar of activities for the forthcoming spring. With visits to Falmouth Maritime Museum, Trebah Gardens and Plymouth Gin Distillery already scheduled it looks like 2016 will be as busy as 2015.

Our good wishes at Christmas and the New Year to those

readers of the Advertiser who read the Wilcove WI column.

Please note there will be no meeting of Wilcove WI members in December and the next meeting will not take place until January 19 when our speaker David Parker will deliver a talk entitled ‘Coastwatch.’

Our members meeting in February will focus on a craft activity (to be confirmed) and discussion of NFWI campaigns and events for 2016 www.thewi.org.uk/ The members of Wilcove WI would like to invite any ladies who are interested in the WI to join us at one of our monthly meetings; listen to our speakers, enjoy some home-made savouries, cakes and refreshments and talk to us about what the WI can offer you. We meet at 7.30 pm on the third Tuesday of the month in Cove Hall (Wilcove Village Hall).

TORPOINT

President Rosemary Slee welcomed members and four visitors to the October meeting and introduced the speaker for the evening, Claire Wallerstein, who came along to talk on Marine Plastic Pollution.

Claire is the leader of Rame Peninsular Beach Care which was set up in 2013 because of the devastating effect that plastic is having on local beaches.

Claire showed slides of the damage done worldwide to millions of seabirds, seals and turtles which are victims of the terrible injuries inflicted both externally and also internally when plastic is eaten.

Slides also showed the amount of plastic waste here on local beaches and we were shown two films of beach cleanups carried out in Tregantle and Cawsand where mountains of plastic was collected by volunteers and where bottle tops were collected and threaded to make a chain, metres long, to show just how much plastic is found on the beaches.

The plastic washed up on the beach, often from shipping containers, also comes from domestic waste like cotton buds, balloons, etc. which do not disintegrate. We were all amazed and convinced just how much we need to cut back on the use of plastic in our everyday lives and we agreed to help with the re-threading of some of the bottle tops as the original wire needs to be replaced.

Sue Hale asked for names for the visit to Cotehele to see the Garland on December 3. For the Christmas Tree Festival to be held in St James Church it was agreed we would decorate it with 100 stars for the 100 years of the WI and members will be making these stars at the Craft Club on Tuesday afternoons.

Sheila Crook, Sylvia White and Rosemary attended the Annual Council Meeting in Truro where they very much enjoyed the day with interesting speakers and where

Sylvia was presented with the Certificate of Merit for the Goldsworthy Cup Competition by Adam Henson from BBC Countryfile. Cath Olufsen brought along some leaflets for members to read about the ‘All About Eve Appeal’ (fighting women’s cancers) and it is hoped to have a speaker from the organisation next year.

Competition results - Letter I : 1st Jean Morgan, 2nd Cath Olufsen, 3rd Betty Tarrant. Flower of the Month: 1st Betty Tarrant, 2nd Jean Morgan, 3rd Sue Hale.

MAKER WITH RAME

Quilting. Not patchwork. Quilting - the art of joining three or more pieces together.

Moira Knaggs informed and entertained us most wonderfully at our November meeting. Quilting goes back at least to the Crusades where padding was worn under the armour. It became very popular in the 1800s led by the mining communities of Durham and South Wales when widows made and sold well-made quilts for warmth.

It has lately become hugely popular in America (where Moira took it up seriously while living there) and to a lesser extent in Japan.

Moira brought with here several big quilts before the meeting started and we were all so enchanted and amazed at their beauty that we were reluctant to leave them to begin the meeting. Glorious bedspreads and wall-hangings of all shapes, sizes and designs: and, surprisingly, all washable.

To say we were impressed was an understatement.

Earlier in the meeting we discussed forthcoming outings and parties. The eight resolutions proposed for next year were read out. Janet read the winning Cornish Federation poem and reported on a highly successful pottery afternoon at Rame Barton. Yvonne and Anne served tea and cake.

We were delighted to have several visitors. Our next open meeting will be Friday February 19.

CRAFTHOLE AND DISTRICT

The speaker at the November meeting was Pat Paxton, who told how her grandmother, who lived in Guernsey, had kept daily diaries throughout the whole of the occupation.

All eleven volumes are held in the Guernsey archives.They have now been edited, and turned into a book. The diaries tell of the early days, when food was easy to come by and the enemy a fairly reasonable one, until little by little, things changed.

Grandmother Violet, a farmer’s wife of 61 years had to walk four miles (each way) every day, to buy bread, and any other shopping. Their milk was stolen during the night. Farmers mysteriously ‘lost’ crops. Many were victims of wanton damage to their property. Restrictions were put in place which made life very, very, hard. By the end of the war, the population was starving.

This, sadly, is just a small taste of a thought provoking and riveting talk.

We held our harvest tea after the October meeting, inviting members from Maker with Rame, Wilcove, St Germans, Torpoint and Downderry, who had each been asked to bring a piece of jewellery with a story to tell.

During tea, these stories were exchanged around the individual tables, and then, as there were so many of interest, to be shared with everybody.

One lady wore a delicate pendant, first worn by her mother at her wedding. Her mother’s wedding dress is held by the museum in Liskeard.

Another lady held up a small ring, which her father had concealed in his clothing for the whole duration of the time during the war when he was working on the Burma railway.

Another had a ‘shard’ pendant, made from broken porcelain, a gift from a friend in China. Apparently at one time the regime decided that the ordinary populace should not be allowed to hold a specific type of porcelain, and people broke their items rather than let them go. Someone then had the bright idea of utilizing the pieces, and turned them into jewellery.

The Christmas lunch will be held at the Whitsand Bay hotel, December 2.

On the Beat

News from the Neighbourhood Policing Team with Sergeant Angela Crow, Neighbourhood Team Leader As you will be aware from the recent media reports, Devon and Cornwall Police are facing significant financial challenges over the next few years, including the closure of some police stations.

As you will know from my previous bulletins, Torpoint Police Station is to be sold and our Estates Department are looking at relocating us to another premises in the area. Work continues to identify a new location from where the police team can work in the future but no decisions have, as yet, been made. There are no timescales for this move. At this time there is no intention of closing Saltash Police station and plans have been submitted to refurbish those premises.

I will keep you updated once any new location for the Torpoint team has been confirmed and we have a moving date.

Monthly figures The Control Room recorded 132 calls from the public in Torpoint and across the Rame Peninsula during October. Some of the varied calls which police attended included 13 domestic incidents, 13 incidents to check

the welfare of individuals, two people were reported missing and 30 incidents occurred on the highway. Police also attended five non-suspicious deaths this month. Calls also included 13 incidents of anti-social behaviour reported to us across Torpoint and Rame. The majority of these continue to be neighbour disputes, noise, nuisance individuals and vehicles.

These calls also included the 28 crimes recorded as being committed across Torpoint and Rame Peninsula over this period.

Torpoint 19: 9 assaults (all categories including two sexual assaults and domestic incidents), one exposure, two thefts, four criminal damage, two public order offences and one animal-related incident.

Deviock 2: one assault, one communications offence Sheviock 0 Antony & Wilcove: one animal-related incident St John/Freathy 1: one attempt theft Millbrook 3: two criminal damage, one theft Maker with Rame 2: one theft, one criminal damage

Dog safety advice for parents and schools Does your child know how to interact safely with dogs? It is estimated that around half of all children will be bitten by a dog at some point during their life, usually by either a family dog or a dog that belongs to a friend or neighbour. Bites from stray dogs are rarer as they tend to be wary of humans and usually keep their distance. Officers are encouraging the public, particularly parents, to visit our website and take a few steps to becoming safer around dogs. www.devon-cornwall.police.uk/advice/ parenting/dogs

Who do I contact? Useful information you may need

While the police offer a 24-hour service we are not always the best people to contact for every situation. Pictured on the right is a guide showing the other agencies who can be contacted in common situations. I hope you find this useful and I would encourage you to share this amongst your family, friends, colleagues and communities.

of Naval discipline and customs. They learn about navigation and are given the chance to take the helm of their own medium sized infl atable boat during a inflatable waterborne orienteering exercise. Fitness is a key component of the training and is delivered using a disciplined method of military fi tness which focuses fitness on developing co-ordination and individual physical strength and endurance. As the course progresses the recruits take part in three extended exercises to test their skills and understanding of the principles they have been taught.

David said: “We picked up things quite quickly as a class. Within the fi rst few weeks you get spoon-fed a first little bit, shown where everything is and then you’re expected to take control of your own unit and just crack on. The physical aspects and stuff like that I’ve done most of my life, so I’ve been able to keep up with that reasonably comfortably.

“The group of lads we’ve got together have been a really good bunch. All the lads enjoyed Havoc, the sinking ship simulator, and things like that which you could get some fun into. It was something completely diff erent to normal phys. I must admit I different quite liked being on the Brecon, a decommissioned minesweeper used for training. It was a bit of experience of being on the sort of vessel I’ll be on.”

During training great emphasis is placed on the Royal Navy’s core values of commitment, courage, discipline, respect for others, loyalty and integrity.

David said: “The word discipline comes into sport, not being able to go out and just party, when you are considered to be a role model for young children.

“Transferring from that into here has been one of the easier things because I am a person that’s driven a lot like that. I was brought up very well by my parents and had a good strong family unit, so the Navy’s core values came relatively easy to me.”

Looking back at the highlights of his football career and his days playing at Plymouth Argyle, David said: “Winning the League Cup and going to Japan, the fi rst first time your national anthem plays and you are stood there in front of 60,000 people and stuff like that, you do genuinely get the hairs stand-up on the back of your neck. It’s hard to describe how you feel inside with the nerves, but representing my country was obviously a high point in my playing career.

“I had some bad injuries when I was at Argyle, so I didn’t play as regularly as I would have liked. I got on well with most of the lads and Paul Sturrock was enjoyable to work with. For anyone who doesn’t know I’ve joined the Navy I’m sure it’ll be a big surprise that someone with my background has gone in to something like this, but it’s something that I’ve wanted to do for quite a long time. My family have been brilliant. My partner Paula and my kids are all supportive and in fact everyone has just been really supportive.”

David and Paula have four children; Daniel aged 18, Megan aged 16, Mia aged six and Ronnie who is nearly one.

David said: “When I went to see the Careers Offi ce, Office, Daniel came along with me and he investigated joining the Marines. He’s doing criminal psychology at university at the moment and I think he’s still interested in pursuing it a little bit through the Navy, so he may be the next one of our family to join.

Hopefully he won’t be higher than me and be able to boss me around.”

Now with the fi rst phase of his training complete, first David will learn his trade as a Warfare Specialist specialising in mine warfare. Looking to the future, he said: “I want to get as high as I can in the Navy.

I’ve always been someone who wants to be the best I possibly can be so I’ll see where my career takes me.

“I’ve obviously not got as many years to get to that level as some of the other lads will have, but I’ll certainly give it my best goal to get as high as I can.

I’ve already been pinged for the Navy football team.

The staff are trying to get me involved as soon as I’m available, but for now it’s all about getting through training and learning my job and just being somebody who can actually be of use. I’m happy to just crack on and whatever they tell me to do I’ll do it.”

International footballer David McNamee has gone from defending his nation on the football pitch to defending his nation at sea.

The 35-year-old, capped four times by Scotland in a 15-year career north and south of the border, has signed for the Royal Navy and is now training to become a mine warfare specialist.

David, who played for a string of clubs including Plymouth Argyle, Aberdeen, St Mirren, Livingston and Coventry City hung up his boots last year.

The former defender said: “I fi nished playing and finished I decided to do my qualifi cations for going into the qualifications coaching world and started to work at Coventry City Academy. I found that I didn’t have the same drive to do that as I had had when I was a player.

“So I decided I had to do something I was interested in doing and if I hadn’t been a football player, I would have been involved with the military in some way, whether it be the Army, Navy or RAF. It was something I’d always wanted to do as a kid. I decided that if the Navy was what I was going to do I was going to have to do it now, before I was too old.”

David arrived at HMS Raleigh, the Royal Navy training base in Cornwall last July for his 10-weeks basic training. He was placed in a class with 28 other recruits whose ages ranged from 16 to 36 years. The class has lived together in a dormitory, known as a mess-deck and worked side-by-side throughout the course.

David said: “Our group is what I would imagine to be one of the older groups of lads. There’s a good four or fi ve of us who aren’t far off my age and have five got a bit of life experience. It’s been alright and the young ones have actually kept me feeling that little bit younger.”

During the course recruits are taught the basics

1664. With an initial strength of 1,200 infantrymen, the regiment was recruited from the trained bands of London as part of the mobilisation for the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The name Marines fi rst appeared in first the records in 1672 and in 1802 they were titled the Royal Marines by King George III.

Royal Marines based at HMS Raleigh have cut a cake and raised a toast to celebrate the 351st anniversary of the formation of the Corps.

The annual celebration was held in the Royal Marines Band complex at the Royal Navy training base in Torpoint. Musician Jack Williams, aged 21, the youngest member of the Plymouth Band, recited the Corps citation and then cut the cake, together with Major ‘Tenna’ Hill, the Offi cer-in-Charge of the HMS Officer-in-Charge Raleigh’s Military Training Unit.

Musician Williams said: “I was a bit apprehensive when I was chosen to recite the citation, but in the end it wasn’t too much of a daunting task. I learnt the words overnight.

Celebrating the Corps birthday is a reminder of the extensive and deep history of the Royal Marines. It’s good to have a date that it all stems from, when the whole Royal Marines family can get together.”

The Royal Marines Corps traces its roots back to the Duke of York and Albany’s Maritime Regiment of Foot, which was formed on 28 October

Reason we celebrate Christmas

About 2000 years ago God sent the angel Gabriel to a young woman who lived in a town called Nazareth. The girl’s name was Mary and she was engaged to marry Joseph.

The angel Gabriel said to Mary: ‘Peace be with you! God has blessed you and is pleased with you.’ The angel said to her ‘Don’t be afraid, you will become pregnant by the Holy Spirit and give birth to a baby boy and you will call him Jesus. He will be God’s own Son and his kingdom will never end.’ Mary was very afraid but she trusted God. ‘Let it happen as God chooses.’ She replied to the angel.

Joseph was worried when he found out, but an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream and said: ‘Don’t be afraid to have Mary as your wife.’ The angel explained that Mary had been chosen

by God to be the mother of his Son and told Joseph that the baby would

be named Jesus which means ‘Saviour’ because he would save people. Then Joseph did what the angel had told him to do and took Mary as his wife.

At this time, the Roman Emperor ordered everyone to return to their home town and enter their names in a census. Mary and Joseph travelled a long way from Nazareth to Bethlehem to register.

When they reached Bethlehem every house was full and every bed was taken, the only place to stay was with the animals.

So in the place where the animals slept, Mary gave birth to Jesus, the Son of God. She wrapped him in ‘swaddling clothes’ and laid him in a manger.

In the fields outside Bethlehem, angels appeared to the shepherds looking after their sheep, and said, ‘Don’t be afraid. I have good news for you and everyone. Today in Bethlehem

The views expressed in this column are not necessarily the views of Churches Together in Torpoint

By Revd Lynn Parker Rector of Torpoint Antony, Sheviock and Maryfield

a Saviour has been born for all people.

The angels were praising God singing: ‘Glory to God in highest, and peace to everyone on earth.’ So the shepherds went to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus. When they saw him, they told everyone what the angel had said, and then returned to their sheep, praising God. When Jesus was born, a brand new bright star appeared in sky. Some wise men who studied stars, saw the star and guessed what it meant.

They followed the star towards Bethlehem. It seemed to stop and shine directly down upon the place where Jesus was.

The Wise Men found Jesus; they bowed down and spread their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh before him and worshipped him.

Let us also remember to find time this Christmas to worship him and give thanks to God for the best gift ever.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our customers!

Pensioners’ Voice - Maker with Rame Chairman Steve Michael told the members of the Pensioners’ Voice at their meeting in November that it was difficult to realise that so much had happened to the Community Hall in the last twelve months and that a year ago it was a building site.

The old kitchen was being demolished and foundations being laid for the new kitchen extension, so there was no garden, only rubble and rubbish piled high. But now, a year on, we have a superb kitchen and a beautiful garden, and the speaker, Mrs Anne Helliwell told members how the new garden had been created.

Anne started her talk by acknowledging the work done and the help given by David Mutch, Sue Willoughby, Annie Bennett and Jane Scott. The general lay-out of the garden was decided in committee, but then came the actual hard work, and this was unbelievably hard!

The ground was just rubble and stones, having been used over the years as a car-park and dumping ground.

David Mutch was a tower of strength, plying an ice-pick to break up the rocks and solidified mud to uncover some earth and gradually terracing the area.

The gardeners were jubilant to acquire a wheelbarrow and a brandnew shed (now at the back of the hall, and out of sight) to keep it in. Then, when the main garden was well under way, the site of the old kitchen had to be tackled and, at last, gardening

hous

proper could begin.

Anne pointed out that, as with all gardens, her main enemies are weeds and watering, although this year our exceptionally wet summer has meant that watering has not been a problem.

The main garden now has a central lawn surrounded by raised flower beds, giving a safe enclosed play area for children and a lovely setting for parties and fetes, with easy access for the erection of marquees and tables, much used for weddings.

There are many bench-seats in situ which have been donated by generous friends for, as in every enterprise, money has to be considered. Coffee mornings are held to give the garden it’s own funds and the Hall has been generous, but Anne stressed the fact that she would offer a good home to any unwanted garden plants.

She had brought with her some examples of plants already flourishing in the flower beds, and mentioned that in the erstwhile kitchen area there will be a rose garden with, amongst others, the pink rose ‘Inspiration’ raised to mark the 100th Anniversary of the WI. Anne kindly answered the many questions from her interested audience before being thanked by the chairman who stressed how grateful to Anne, David and the helpers was the village, for without their dedication and hard work, there would be no garden, just the un-lovely field that existed a year ago.

Earlier the meeting had opened

with the usual hymn and prayer. The Chairman thanked all the members who had made the Birthday Party such a success in October and mentioned that other birthdays celebrated that week were Mrs Dol. Jago (102), Mrs Phyl Cooper (98) and Mr Frank Duke (96) surely an advert for ‘life in the village’.

The chairman also mentioned that last year, because there was no kitchen available, fish and chips were served by ‘Ahoy’ from their fish and chip van. This had proved such a success that is was decided to repeat it this year, and once again it was thoroughly approved and enjoyed.

All places were taken for the trip to Cricket St Thomas on November 27, while celebrations began in the village on November 21 with the usual carols round the lighted Christmas tree followed by more carols and mulled wine in the Community Hall from 6pm.

The Christmas dinner is now confirmed for December 15 priced at £16, with the cost of the bus transport to and from the Whitsand Bay Hotel being paid by the club.

The raffle was drawn, tea and biscuits served and the meeting closed at 4pm. The next meeting will be on Thursday December 10, when carols will be sung, accompanied by Miss Pauline Turpitt and mince pies served with the tea. Visitors will be made most welcome, especially the over 50s. who are interested in joining our Pensioners’ Voice Club.
