Ofsted inspectors praise headteacher, teachers, governors and pupils at Torpoint school...

Outstanding!

Torpoint Nursery and Infant School has been rated as outstanding in all aspects of its education provision.

The Ofsted report, published in May, gave leadership and management, quality of teaching, achievement of pupils, behaviour and safety of pupils and early years provision the highest rating possible.

The two-day Ofsted inspection took place in April and was led by Chris Chamberlain. He and his two colleagues visited 22 lessons, heard pupils read, examined work in their books, attended an assembly and observed activities in the playground.

The inspectors held discussions with pupils, the headteacher, senior and middle leaders and members of the governing body.

The inspectors held a telephone conversation with a representative from the local authority and a meeting with the headteacher of the local junior school.

They examined a range of documents, including a summary of the school’s own checks on how well it is doing, the school’s plans for improvement and the report the headteacher regularly provides for governors.

They also looked at documents showing how the quality of teaching is evaluated, the school’s information on pupils’ progress, and records relating to pupils’ safety, behaviour and attendance.

The inspectors analysed the 33 returns to the online Parent View questionnaire, read a letter from a parent and spoke informally to parents to seek their views. They also considered the views of 37 staff who returned questionnaires.

In their report the inspectors said that headteacher Elisabeth Carney-Howarth provides excellent leadership and her vision for school improvement had ensured that the quality of teaching is now outstanding.

The report continues: “She determinedly ensures that pupils leave the school with the social skills and academic knowledge they need to progress successfully in the future. Teachers agree that the headteacher empowers them to do their very best and ensure that pupils make excellent progress in their classes.

“Senior and middle leaders are highly effective.

They understand their responsibilities fully, have action plans highlighting accurately the key areas for school improvement, regularly check the quality of teaching and give their colleagues suggestions for improvement. They also review pupil progress and frequently check that new initiatives are fully adopted.”

The report stated that the Governers, led by Barry

Choir’s acclaimed musical director Jonathan is replaced by...Jonathan!

Hail and farewell, Jonathan!

The Rame Peninsula Male Voice Choir has given its final concert under acclaimed musical director Jonathan Delbridge, and its first with his successor, Jonathan Lewsey.

Delbridge has moved from Liskeard to Somerset to further his career, with his departure provoking almost as many farewell concerts as Frank Sinatra.

Act one of the ‘long goodbye’ was a splendid two-concert trip to Jersey with the sister choir, Keltique, which resulted in £860 being raised for McMillan Nurses, and an enthusiastic response from The Jersey Men who are now considering a return trip to Cornwall.

The two choirs sang to capacity audiences in the Parish Church of St Helier and the Mayfair Hotel. At the former, Delbridge gave an impromptu organ recital.

The folk and sea shanty Halfway Harmony were invited to sing in St Helier’s Lamplighter pub - despite a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid being on the box. To the choir’s

astonishment the music led to three girls dancing on the tables - and more interest in the Harmony than the footy.

Perhaps that had something to do with the 149 malt whisky brands on offer!

Act two was a tribute by Keltique in Looe, while Act three was a remarkable concert in St Martin’s Church, Liskeard where performers influenced by Jonathan Delbridge turned out to thank him.

In addition to Rame, Keltique, and the St Martin’s choirs, the programme included Plymouth Gilbert and Sullivan Fellowship’s Bianca Phillips and Andy Ferris, guest London tenor Anando Mukerjee, Olivier and Jake Loewendahl from Menhenniot, and Rame’s new musical director Jonathan Lewsey who demonstrated his operatic talents with An Die Musik, by Schubert.

Remarkably, this was sprung on an unwitting and unsuspecting Delbridge, who thought he was coming to a rehearsal!

Act four was the Rame choir’s own farewell at Kingsand’s packed Community Hall where Delbridge was awarded honorary life membership, and was presented with a cheque and a plaque.

There were renderings of Speed Your Journey from Nabucco and Minnadhu Breaks, plus an impromptu concert by The Halfway Harmony at Kingsand’s packed Community Hall.

Encouraging early Passing the conductor’s baton... Jonathan signs suggest that Delbridge and his successor Jonathan Jonathan Lewsey, the Lewsey Photo: Anne Rundle multi-talented former Sterts director, who has smoothly picked up the baton, will help the choir enhance its fine reputation, and broaden and modernise its existing repertoire.

His first performance in charge was at Torpoint Community College,

A successful evening - one of 60 events across the county over six days - was close to capacity for choirs which included Plymouth Clarion, Pelynt MVC, and the South Wales Gay Men’s Chorus who provided the star entertainment with a diverse, amusing, and polished repertoire.

A total of £200 was raised for Nepal to add to £125 collected at Cawsand’s farewell to Delbridge.

A Christian Aid concert on May 15 in Trinity United Reform Church with Halfway Harmony and Just Voices from Looe, was another successfull fund-raiser.

The Rame Choir is already rehearsing for the federation’s

Massed Cornwall Choirs’ Summer Charity event on July 2, 2016, at Plymouth Pavilions, for which tickets are already in demand.

Rame’s forthcoming engagements this year include a public charity concert on July 4 (7pm) on The Cleave, Kingsand which will feature the Torpettes from Torpoint Community College. A second public charity performance takes place on The Green, Kingsand (by the Rising Sun) on July 15; and the Looe Riverside Choir Concert Series on July 26. The choir is also performing at two weddings in July.

The choir meets every Wednesday in Kingsand Community Hall at 7.30. Visitors welcome.

Deacon, hold the school to account and challenge and support the headteacher effectively. “Governors know the school well and ensure that self-evaluation is rigorous.”

The report praises the behaviour of the school’s 280 pupils as outstanding.

“Pupils are polite, very well mannered and demonstrate respect for adults and tolerance of each other.”

The achievement of pupils was also rated as outstanding. “Children enter Nursery from a variety of starting points. About half of the children start with the skills and knowledge typical for their age, while the other half starts with skills and knowledge below those typical for their age. Children make very rapid progress during the early years.”

Inspectors also highlighted the success of the school in winning the House of Commons Speaker’s School Council Award for its work in campaigning for better protection of sea birds.

A 25-year-old from Saltash has celebrated his formal commissioning as a Royal Navy Officer on parade at Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC).

Midshipman Sean Roberts was one of 118 Officer Cadets who took part in the parade, watched by their families, friends and distinguished guests, including Admiral Sir George Zambellas, the First Sea Lord, who was the VIP inspecting officer.

By joining the Royal Navy Sean is following in the footsteps of his father Warrant Officer Ieuan Roberts, who is currently serving in Plymouth on the staff of Flag Officer Sea Training, and his grandfather, Tony Ray, a veteran of the Falklands campaign. Sean also has an uncle serving in the Royal Navy and another in the Army.

The former pupil of Saltash.net

Community School graduated from Swansea University in January 2013 with a Master of Arts degree in international relations.

Sean said: “I chose the Royal Navy to have a career in which I can be proud of and to have the chance to work in different countries while seeing the world. I didn’t want to be stuck in a nine-to-five office job and the Royal Navy also offers many opportunities for career advancement.

I’m now focussed on the next stage of training back home in Cornwall at HMS Raleigh where I hope to become a fully qualified Logistics Officer.

After this, I plan to do some sea time, carry out the boarding officers’ course and hopefully have many foreign postings.”

Torpoint cracks down on dog Isla Sell fouling, litter and fly tipping Physiotherapy PATROLS are being stepped up on Torpoint’s streets and open spaces in a bid to reduce incidents of environmental crimes such as dog-fouling, littering and fly-tipping.

The increased patrols form part of Torpoint’s new enforcement programme which is currently focusing on the age-old issue of uncleared dog-fouling and tackling irresponsible dog owners, who fail to clean up after their pets. In addition, the Enforcement Officer will be on the look out for incidences of littering and fly-tipping,which blights communities and poses a risk to human and animal health.

Not only will the Enforcement Officer be looking out for those people who fail to pick up after their dogs, he can issue a penalty notice. Anyone who is caught allowing their dog to foul in a public place will be issued with a fixed penalty notice for £80 (reduced to £50 if paid within 10 days) or prosecution where if found guilty would face a maximum fine of £1000.

Fly-tipping carries a hefty fine and an offender can even be sent to prison.

To catch the offenders, Cornwall Council need the public’s help so they are encouraging them to come forward with information such as times, dates, and in the case of dog-fouling, a description of dogs etc.

Mayor Mike Pearn said: “We understand the large

majority of the community do the right thing, but we are consistently hearing of streets and parks that are affected by dog mess and litter, and side streets with discarded sacks of rubbish, TVs and sofas.

“As a Town Council we have listened to the concerns of the community and acted upon them by introducing a Dog-Fouling and Litter Enforcement Officer.” He added, “We will endeavour to enforce the law against those who continue to let the rest of us down, and do what we can to address the real concerns of the residents of Torpoint”.

Members of the public can submit a report of irresponsible dog ownership to the council at any time, giving as much information as possible. In nearly all cases the witness will remain anonymous whilst action can be taken against the offenders.

They’re off...the start of the Richard Feast Memorial Mile

Memorial Mile so that everyone would have the chance to pay tribute to his memory.

The college wished to celebrate his life and outstanding contribution to the college and community by holding an event which all staff and students could get involved in.

On Friday May 1, the college timetable was curtailed from 1.30pm so that all can be involved in the Richard Feast Memorial Mile.

In the end, over 800 members of the college ran, jogged, walked and space hopped their way around the one mile course on the school site.

Sixth form BTEC students readied the participants with a highly energetic warm up. The idea was to raise as much money in sponsorship for Mr Feast’s chosen charity – Plymouth’s Oncology ward – and also funds for a permanent memorial which will be placed in the college grounds.

Thanks to some excellent support from the local

business community, all participants received a medal sponsored by Miller Countrywide Sales and Lettings and, due to support from 3663, also received a Feast ice cream bar!

It is hoped to raise over £6000 from the Memorial Mile which will be just one of many events which have either already been completed or are planning over the course of this academic year.

Students join the Food Revolution

Some great, great, great celebrations!

There was great excitement at The Old Vicarage, Antony on April 4 with the celebration of the 104th birthday of our oldest resident Albert James Rogers.

Albert’s family came in and enjoyed a celebratory morning buffet with him including his pregnant great, great granddaughter, cards and gifts were opened and fun was had by all, Albert was quite overwhelmed by everything.

The greatest gift of all was when Albert was told that he was now a great, great, great granddad to a beautiful baby boy born at 6.30 that evening and his name would be Ewan Albert James.

A wonderful ending to a very special day.

Everyone at The Old Vicarage Antony would like to congratulate the proud parents and to welcome Ewan into the world.

The campaign, which fights for learners rights to a food education in school, aims to tackle childhood obesity and related health illnesses, by teaching students how to prepare and cook healthy meals, as well as providing pupils with a good understanding of making the right food choices and living a healthy life.

With the rising obesity levels among children in the UK Torpoint Community College wanted to stand up to this and to ensure that all students have the right to an education on making the right food choices, for now and their future.

Getting the right balance now has been scientifically proven to increase achievement as well as attendance at school. The college felt it was an imperative that learners had the skills to choose healthy foods, but at the same time wanted to ensure that students understand that food can be both healthy and fun.

The week was jammed packed with a range of different events, which included both the PE and Food Technology departments incorporating this initiative into their SOL, as well as the PE team working closely with the YMCA gym, by offering free exercise classes both during and after college to both students and staff.

Each day a nutritionist was in college to deliver assemblies to students about making the right food choices, which had a massive impact on students as it highlighted the dangers and consequences of a diet rich in processed and refined foods.

On the final day of the campaign, Year 7 students were involved in an two hour workshop, where they watched cooking demos from local chefs including

Bruce Cole from River Cottage who made a sustainable cod fish cake served with a pesto and garlic dressing.

This was a huge success and Tina Crago recreated it and served it in the canteen that lunchtime, which proved a real success!

Daisy from the Cornish Seaweed Company showed students how to make a healthy alternative to crisps, by frying raw seaweed with paprika while Jane Hutton from Trinity Holistics made a rich chocolate brownie using unrefined sugar and raw cocoa beans.

The students also got to taste some wild edibles from Vix at the Family Foraging Kitchen, as well as making Jamie Oliver’s ‘Squash it Sandwich’.

All in all the day was a huge success, with nearly all students trying something different for the first time and actually enjoying it. They also took away with them that not only is healthy food tasty,

Busy time for Lions Another busy time for the Lions as the car boot sales continue every Sunday morning weather permitting.

Unfortunately still just a trickle of sellers and buyers are turning up, maybe still due to the up and down weather. But we will continue to hold them – so if you have unwanted items you need to get rid of, make some money, or want to make some space by disposing of items, please come along to Windy Ridge car park Trerulefoot roundabout, Remember someone always needs what you are selling and the money does come in handy. The price remains at £5 per car for sellers – the same as last year. All the sellers so far have covered that money and made profits. Sellers should be in place by 8am as buyers start to arrive from that time. Any monies raised by us is used to help others in our local community so please come along and support us.

May 4 saw the Annual Black Prince event take place in Millbrook, Kingsand and Cawsand Jointly organised by Torpoint and Rame Lions club and the Black Prince committee.

The day started in beautiful sunshine with the Maypole dancers putting on a lovely colourful display and then Town Crier Clive O’Shaughnessy started proceedings declaring the event open and then presenting the May King and Queen to the large turn out of locals and visitors assembled.

Afterwards the procession set out by going through the streets of Millbrook to Venton House to hail the arrival of the Black Prince, then more dancing, and singing took place at the fete with a variety of stalls and entertainment taking place in the grounds of Venton House.

Later in the day the weather took a turn for the worse with heavy rain taking the place of the sunshine, but at least the main part of the day’s event was In the dry. So all in all a great organised event and a good time had by everyone.

Then on to Saturday May 16 when we held the first summer fair at the Torpoint Council Chambers, taking the place of the

Marjorie Chapman and Enid Gaved raising money for Arthritis Research UK Cambridge fair event which was normally poorly attended due to unkind weather.

Stalls were set up in the Chambers by various charity organisations to promote and raise money and plants were on sale by a local nursery.

Civic Award for Torpoint’s Frank Holden Community volunteers from across Cornwall have been recognised for their generosity during the council’s inaugural Civic Awards ceremony.

Nominated by local Cornwall councillors, unsung heroes who make an outstanding contribution to their local areas were presented with awards by outgoing Council Chairman Councillor John Wood during the event at County Hall in Truro.

Councillor Wood said: “It was staggering to meet so many people from such diverse backgrounds who do so much in so many different ways to benefit the communities in which they live and work. I hope that they will go away from here tonight aware that they are valued by us and that this is our way of saying ‘thank you’ on behalf of everyone in Cornwall.”

There were 14 recipients of the inaugural Civic Award including Torpoint’s Frank Holden, who founded the Seventeen Thirty Club (STC) in Torpoint’s Kings Arms in 1997.

Made up of several of the pub’s regulars, the group aims to support local young people. Every time the group raises £100, it donates the money to a youth organisation and since February 1997, the group has raised more than £22,000. It is estimated that around 3,000 children and young people in Torpoint have benefitted from the group’s generosity.

Sarah Adkins from Saltash also received a Civic Award. Involved in numerous local community groups, Sarah has worked on fundraising events for her local church, is a member of the SaltashPlougastel Twinning Association, a Trustee of the China Fleet Trust and honorary secretary of the Plymouth Area Business Council.

But it is for her dedication and inspirational leadership as chair of Governors at Bishop Cornish School that she deserves particular recognition, especially as she will be standing down as chair at the end of this term.

She has seen the school through excellent inspections - but she has gone above and beyond her role, setting up a charity and spearheading a campaign to build the eco-friendly Education Centre that has won several national design and community awards. The children of the school are at the heart of all her actions and decisions.

In 2011 the governors were the national winners of the National Governors Association Outstanding Governing Body of the Year Award in recognition of their excellent work.

Marine charity urges public to go plastic-free in June The Marine Conservation Society (MCS), the UK’s leading marine charity, is challenging people to give up their convenience lifestyle and ditch pre-packed sandwiches, ready meals and plastic bottled drinks on the go for the whole of June.

Almost 600 members of the public have already signed up to take part in the MCS Plastic Challenge and the charity says it’s amazed at the lengths people will be going to, to find products that don’t contain plastic of any kind. The charity says it highlights how reliant we have become on plastic which is reflected in the amount already known to be turning parts of our oceans into a ‘plastic soup’.

The Plastic Challenge began when MCS

staff and volunteers were asked to try and give up single use plastic goods for Lent 2013 after volunteer Emily Smith from Lambeth challenged herself to pack up plastic for 40 days and 40 nights.

The charity will offer help to 2015 Plastic Challengers via its website and social media feed which also has a tip swap area and the opportunity to get help when the going gets tough!

Since the charity began monitoring beach litter levels around the UK over 20 years ago, the amount of plastic bits and pieces has increased by 180%, causing an increasing threat to marine life. Plastic bags, bottles and tiny plastic pieces are regularly found in the stomachs of turtles and other sea creatures,

and in some cases have caused their death from starvation or choking.

“We want to change people’s attitudes towards single use plastics, and to encourage people to value plastic as a resource – not just buying stuff without any thought of the environmental impact”, said MCSsenior pollution policy officer, Dr Sue Kinsey.

“People taking on the Plastic Challenge are often shocked to find out just how much single use plastic is used every day. Have a go at the Plastic Challenge, even if you can only manage a single day, and you’ll never look at your shopping in the same way again!”

MCS says that because plastic plays such a large part in all of our lives, from brushing our

teeth and showering, to cooking and buying plastic-packed products, even simply buying lunch is a minefield - boiled eggs in individual plastic containers, apple slices in plastic bags, pasties on a polystyrene tray wrapped in plastic, plus prepacked sandwiches and bottled drinks.

“Our clamour for convenience is a sin for our seas,” says Dr. Kinsey. “It’s durable and lightweight, but it’s these properties that allow it to remain in the marine environment for hundreds if not thousands of years.

Plastics are among the most persistent synthetic materials in existence and are now a significant and extensive marine pollutant.”

City College Plymouth ...

Celebrating 125 Years of Education and Training That Works About City College Plymouth ‌ City College Plymouth was created in 1889 as the Science, Art and Technical College in order to celebrate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

Originally based at the old cattle market site on Tavistock Road, the College has evolved through the years, becoming the College of Further Education in 1974 and then City College Plymouth in 2006.

When the College re-opened in 1974, the first Principal, William Foster, promised that the College would be used partly as a community centre and City College Plymouth has followed this ethos ever since.

So, we are opening up the College to the community on Saturday 4 July and welcome you and your family to join us for a day of FREE fun activities!

See you then!

3 Wishes Faery Fest in June

Latest from the Mayor’s Parlour A year of real progress with some big challenges in the year ahead I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow councillors for voting me in as Town Mayor for 2015/16 at our May Council Meeting with John Crago as Deputy Mayor. I will do my utmost to continue to work for the Town to the best of my ability.

2014/15 report - The Town Council has seen a lot of changes over the last year. Central Government passed on budget cuts to Cornwall Council who has passed some of these cuts on to Town Councils across Cornwall.

I think as a council we have dealt with the changes very well and I would like to thank the Town Clerk, assistant Town Clerk and councillors for working together with one aim and that is for the benefit of Torpoint.

My term of office for 2014/15 has been very busy.

Val and myself have attended over 120 various events in Torpoint, Devon and Cornwall. I had the very great honour of receiving the Freedom of Torpoint. As yet I have not got around to driving sheep up the main street and I still have to pay on the ferry and usually get placed in the last lane!

We must thank all our organisations which are run by volunteers, for their passion and dedication.

There are too many to name. Please keep up the good work.

All our uniformed youth groups and sporting clubs are a credit to our town and are to be congratulated.

Congratulations also to Torpoint Nursery and Infants School, Carbeile Junior School and Community College for all they do for the future children of Torpoint.

Thank you to our emergency services, Street Pastors and all others who help to keep our streets safe by day and night.

In September 2014 we had the pleasure of welcoming the Gorsedh Bards of Cornwall to Thanckes Park They were very impressed with the welcome which Torpoint gave them, and the beautiful setting and of course the weather.

Everything came right on the day.

Another great was the visit of the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery which also was a boost for the town. They again were very impressed with the welcome and hosting they received.

The opening of the new Penntorr Health Centre was another good thing for Torpoint. A superb facility and hopefully everyone has come to accept it being out of town. (Drivers please remember that it is a 30mph speed Limit along Trevol Road past HMS Raleigh and the Penntorr Health Centre right out to Horson Cemetery.)

Sadly Tony Smith who has worked for the Town Council for the last 15 years doing a sterling job, has been medically discharged from his job due to knee problems. I would like to thank Tony for all he has done and wish him well.

I would like to thank all our council staff - Marion, Stan, Ian, Chris and Milly. They all have done exceedingly well over the last 12 months.

Last but not least I would like to thank my family for their support during my term of office 2014/15.

2015/16 is going to a very challenging year for the council. The Neighbourhood Plan is now up and running with a strong steering group of Councillors and residents working together.

Further details can be found at www.facebook.com/TorpointNeighbourhoodPlan or www.torpointplan.org.uk With the old Health Centre now closed the discussions for this and the disposal of the old fire station will soon be taking place. The police station site also will be sold within the next year or so.

We must monitor closely the disposal and sale of these three prime town sites. And we must all work together to save our Library.

The rugby club is in talks with Cornwall Council and Antony Estate and good progress is now being made on the proposal to relocate the club from Defiance Field to a new site on the old Fisgard playing area.

Plans for Cornwall’s Armed Forces Day on

Cllr. Mike Pearn MBE Saturday June 20 are going well and I am sure we will again show the county what Torpoint can achieve!

We have a lot of work ahead of us, but if we continue to work together as a team we will be able to get what Torpoint requires for the future.

I am delighted to say that Reverend Lynn Parker has agreed to continue as my Mayor’s Chaplain and Val will be my Mayoress and Tina will be John’s Deputy Mayoress.

The Council has now their own Enforcement Officer for a trial period to crack down on nuisance dog fouling, fly tipping and littering if you have any problems please report them to the council Email: admin@torpointtowncouncil.gov.uk Tel: 01752 814165.

Congratulations to Frank Holden 1730 (STC) Club on his Cornwall Civic Award for his fundraising to help local youth groups. Well done, well deserved.

Frank started the Seventeen Thirty Club (STC) in the King’s Arms, Torpoint in 1997 where a group of regulars at the pub met on a Friday after work. The ethos and aims of the organisation is to support the local youth of Torpoint.

STC members would give Frank a donation each week towards the next presentation.When the sum raised reaches £100 it is presented to a youth organisation. Frank’s first presentation of £100 was back in February 1997. To date, a sum of over £22,000 has been raised mainly thanks to likeminded people in the community in general but with Frank’s persuasion.

The list of recipients includes: Cubs, Brownies, Guides, Scouts, Rainbows, Beavers, St John Ambulance and various local football and rugby teams. On an individual basis, the STC have supported the Paralympian table tennis player David Wetherill to achieve his aims.

They have also assisted another young lady whose eyesight was failing to obtain equipment which enabled her to use her computer. Over the years approximately 3,000 children in the Torpoint area have benefited from Frank and the wide range of people who have been so generous in giving money to the STC.

Community art with a difference in Millbrook Community art with a difference is taking the village of Millbrook and the wider Rame Peninsula by storm.

Rame Peninsula Art is the brainchild of Alan and Annette Lemin who are bringing the teaching of mathematics, science and art together in a new and exciting venture.

Run from their Woodshed Studio, the Arts Award accredited centre nestles quietly within their beautifully designed Japanese garden in Millbrook enabling Alan and Annette to offer an extensive range of tuition for students of all ages and abilities.

Annette is a secondary school teacher of some distinction, with an established record of home tutoring and has taught professionally for 26 years. Annette specialises in all aspects of maths and the sciences including Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, preparation for 11 plus entry, GCSE and revision for module development.

Her husband Alan has worked extensively in arts education for 34 years and has a professional background in painting craft, interiors and decorative arts. He is soon to retire from the Plymouth College of Art where he has worked for the last 29 years to pursue his own arts practice and ambitions for Rame Peninsula Art. Throughout his time at the college, Alan has been responsible for various aspects of arts based provision and student progression. His passion for visual arts education was acknowledged in the 2015 New Years Honours List, where he was awarded the British Empire Medal for services to Further and Higher Education and to the community of Cornwall.

As an Arts Award Advisor, Alan was keen to develop a model, which sought to bridge the gap and break down the perceived barriers that exist between the subject areas of maths, science and the visual arts. “ I set about designing and developing a space which was once used as a garden house by extending and converting it into an arts studio” said Alan. “From here we are able to cater for a number of students and run various classes in the arts as well as personal tuition in maths and science”.

A significant aspect of this work is the hugely successful Saturday Art School, which Alan started running in April of this year.

Working with a small group of fellow art teachers and practitioners, Alan has built on the Arts Club model, which

he first introduced at the Plymouth College of Art some 12 years ago.

Alan said: “I developed an art club model which was soon seized upon by Sir John and Lady Frances Sorrell of the prestigious Sorrell Foundation based in Somerset House London. This model now forms the basis of the National Art and Design Saturday Club which has attracted 50 plus universities and colleges nationwide”.

Although this model was very much geared toward opening access for school students to universities and colleges, Alan believed that there was a significant audience for something more community based hence the birth of Rame Peninsula Art. At the Woodshed Studio, students are currently working towards an arts award qualification whereby they get to experience a range of subject areas.

“Our work is significantly different from that which students will experience at school”, said Annette. In addition, we teach a significant number of home schooled students who find the environment very much to their liking which enhances their learning.

We endeavour to enable all students to explore and experiment with various practices and link these to the wider aspects of our work”.

With the Saturday Art School students working toward a full exhibition to showcase their work on June 6, the Saturday Art School is a hive of activity.

Alan said: “Our students are producing some fantastic art work and it’s only right and proper that they are afforded an opportunity to showcase this to family, friends and members of the community.

“To this end we will be hosting a full exhibition in our garden on June 6. Weather permitting, it promises to be a wonderful day and a culmination of the students huge endeavours and hard work”.

The months of April and May have been extremely busy for the ladies of Wilcove WI. On Monday April 20 four of the ladies took advantage of the warm spring weather to visit St Michael’s Mount near Marazion before joining other members of Cornwall Federation of Women’s Institutes for a lunch at the Godolphin Arms overlooking the bay.

It was a real treat to walk barefoot at low tide across the causeway to the mount and to enjoy the colourful alpine gardens (we even managed to bring a little sand home in our shoes).

On the evening of Tuesday April 21 the Wilcove WI members toasted HM The Queen on the occasion of her 89th birthday and took the opportunity to formally thank Sue Walters (the outgoing Chair) and those committee members standing down at the end of their term in office.

Sue expressed her thanks to all the members for their support over the last three years and ‘handed over the reins’ to the new chair Su Hillman.

Formalities completed the members settled to listen to an eloquent and informative presentation delivered by our speaker for April Barbara Smith who is Ambassador for the Plymouth branch of SSAFA (Soldiers, Sailors & Air Force Association).

Barbara, who has worked as a volunteer for SSAFA for eighteen months described how the organisation was set up in February 1885 by Major Gildea to support those families left behind when their menfolk set sail to join the second expeditionary force in Egypt.

Shortly after, the organisation gained patronage from the Princess of Wales (future Queen Alexandra) and in 1892 initiated a community nursing service (Alexandra Nurses) to provide health care for service families’ resident in the UK and overseas. Over subsequent years the charity expanded its scope to incorporate social and respite care services and today it operates alongside; statutory services, voluntary organisations and some 400 other charities to ensure that our Forces and their families are always cared for in time of need.

With an estimated five million UK residents having served in the Armed Forces and around 20,000 service personnel leaving the Armed Forces each year SSAFA is as important today as at its inception 130 years ago.

To illustrate this Barbara explained that in one year 7,503 SSAFA caseworkers (many volunteers) secured £16.7 million to assist 40,645 clients nationally.

Whether an individual has undertaken one day’s paid service or is still serving SSAFA is there to support (this also includes National Servicemen and Reservists).

If you would like to know more about the work of the local SSAFA branches contact: SSAFA Devon Tel: 01392-254611) or; SSAFA PlymouthTel: 01752-553414).

On the evening of Friday April 24 three of our ladies joined other local WI branch members at the spring group meeting which was kindly hosted by Torpoint WI. Here we enjoyed a demonstration of traditional and contemporary flower arranging and caught up with WI friends from across the peninsula. The topic of discussion for the Wilcove WI meeting in May will be the annual resolution; “Failing to care; assessment in long term care” On Thursday 4th June the WI Centenary conference at the Royal Albert Hall, London will be attended by Her Majesty The Queen, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal and Her Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex and the day’s events will be transmitted live between 10am and 5pm on www.youtube.com/user/WomensInstitute.

The members of Wilcove WI would like to invite any ladies who are interested in joining the Women’s Institute to join us at our monthly

These were two young ladies from Toe Bees Foot care and reflexology, who gave an informative and interesting account of their work. Several ladies volunteered to have a foot massage, and judging by the serene expressions on their faces, these were a big hit.

The competition, ‘My favourite photograph’ was won by Joy Kentisbeer.

No meeting in December, but a splendid meal at the Whitsand Bay Hotel, followed by coffee and mince pies in the lounge. Joyce Bridge played the piano for carol singing, and many members, feeling replete, were delighted that there would be no supper to cook that evening.

Our January meeting is traditionally the one where members entertain the committee. Barbara Snowling organised this yearly event, and, to set the ball rolling, read a poem, ‘Why I’d rather be a woman than an earwig.’ Joyce Bridge played several pieces of music including La Golondrina, and Chanson de Matin. This was followed by Joy Kentisbeer’s poem, written for her children when young, and entitled The Disappearing Onions.

A card game, Chatterbox, came next, and the afternoon closed with more music from Joyce. The competition, ‘My favourite Christmas card’ was won

by Joy Kentisbeer.

An invitation was received from Wilcove WI for two members to attend their 60th birthday party.

What we would like, of course, is more members.

Potential members are often put off by the business side of the meeting, but this has been considerably reduced with no loss of content.

At our February meeting the Revd. Barry Kinsman gave a talk entitled ‘My Grandmother’s Kitchen’. Visitors are more than welcome to join us at our monthly meetings which are held in the Memorial Hall in Crafthole at 2pm on the third Wednesday of the month.

The Maypole to start proceedings

Hundreds take part in the Black Prince celebrations

Hundreds of people descended on the Rame Peninsula in May to celebrate the annual Black Prince Flower Boat procession.

Too old to be dated but revived in 1986, the colourful and lively festival marked a day of celebration in the villages of Millbrook, Kingsand and Cawsand.

The day started at 10 am with local children Maypole Dancing outside the village hall, where the May King and Queen of Millbrook were crowned and prizes awarded to the children for best flower baskets, model boats and garlands.

At 10.30 the procession started headed by Millbrook Town Crier Clive O’Shaughnessy with his consort Julie.

Clive has recently returned from Bermuda where he represented Millbrook in an international Town Crier Competition.

Accompanied by visiting Town Criers and consorts from around the country who provide a noisy and colourful start, they are followed by the flower bedecked Black Prince Flower Boat, carried shoulder high by six naval ratings from HMS Raleigh.

Local schoolchildren followed dancing to the traditional Black Prince tune.

Villagers and Green Men followed along with the Chough, the emblem of Cornwall with her startling headdress. Many of those in the procession wore the traditional dress of red and white colour with red sashes or fresh flowers.

A cacophony of colour and music followed with the visiting Wreckers Morris Group providing a lively spectacle.

After parading and dancing throughout the village, stopping at local hostelries and for an ever popular community dance, the procession made its way to Venton House, where a fete was held from 12 noon until 2pm. There were charity stalls, music, maypole dancing, food, drink and the visiting Town Criers gave a shout about the beauties of Cornwall.

In the afternoon, the festivities carried on through the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. Starting at 2.30 at the Kingsand Community Hall, the parade once again formed up and made its way to the Rising Sun where the May King and Queen of Kingsand/Cawsand are crowned.

The parade then headed for Cawsand Square, where there was more dancing. At 4.30, the Black Prince Launching song was sung whilst the Black Prince Flower Boat was launched off Cawsand Town crier Clive O’Shaughnessy and his consort Beach to bid farewell to winter blues and welcome wife Julie to spring and summer.

The money raised at the event will go to the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Lions Club and will be used for charity purposes in the local area.

News from the Neighbourhood Policing Team with Sergeant Angela Crow, Neighbourhood Team Leader

On the Beat

There will likely be a few changes to staffing at Torpoint over the next few months.

Firstly, PC Caroline Blinco was successful in her recent application for promotion. She is just waiting to hear where her new role will be, but whether she stays in Liskeard sector as a Response Sergeant or is moved elsewhere, her current post at Torpoint will be filled by another officer. Many congratulations Caroline!

PC Amy Wooldridge has completed her attachment to the team and is now officially your Neighbourhood Beat manager – well done Amy! Finally, we may soon have an additional Police Community Support Officer joining the Torpoint team....watch this space! As soon as I have any other details I will let you know.

ChildLine campaign launches to help build children’s resilience to porn

The NSPCC’s ChildLine service has launched a campaign to raise awareness and provide advice to young people about the harmful implications of over exposure to pornographic images.

A series of animations, looking at the potential effects on both boys and girls, link to a range of information and advice to help young people understand the risks associated with replicating pornographic content in real life situations and to protect them from putting themselves in potentially risky situations.

If you are concerned about a child then please encourage them to visit ChildLine’s campaign at www.childline.org.uk/fapz or talk to ChildLine anonymously on 0800 1111 or online www.childline.org.uk.

If you’re an adult worried about a child in relation to issues around porn you can visit the NSPCC website for advice and support.

By Roy Bright Secretary of Churches Together in Torpoint

There has been a lot of discussion recently about promoting British values.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I am proud of our country and what it has achieved. I am proud of our democracy under our monarchy.

I am actually writing this article one week after the general election. On the Friday morning following the vote the nation woke up after an election campaign that has left bitter divisions.

Yet that afternoon our political leaders put aside their differences to join the war veterans at the National Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph. Having been up for 36 hours, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband might have been tempted to send deputies. Instead, hours after losing the fight of their lives (and their jobs) they stood with dignity beside the victorious Prime Minister to honour the victory, VE Day, that secured all our democratic freedoms. In what other country would that happen?

Yes I am proud of this country. I am proud of our tradition of tolerance, our historic commitment to welcoming the stranger. Most people would not realise that it is the Christian Faith that underpins these great strengths, and others that have enriched our nation.

house

British values Our laws, our health, welfare and education provision all find their origin in Christian principles.

But I am worried too – for this legacy is under attack. In spite of having contributed so much to our civilisation the Christian Faith is in danger of being brushed aside.

Look at the facts. We have Winter Festivals rather than Christmas; teachers and council employees are suspended for offering to say a prayer; a nurse is banned from wearing a cross; a British Airways worker was told to remove hers; Roman Catholic adoption agencies are closed down under new laws.

We are meant, under Human Rights legislation, to have freedom of religion but subtly this is being brushed aside in the name of equality.

And so I say to all of those who claim to be Christian let us wear our faith with pride, and if you are not a Christian be assured we mean you no harm but do ask you to allow us the right to follow our faith and to hold sacred still some things that the world would discount.

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

Amusing talk from former Patrolman

Stories of life in the AA Members of Maker with Rame Pensioners’ Voice association were not best pleased to hear that their talk in May would be about the AA, as they said they are too elderly now to be told that alcohol is bad for them.

However, they were much relieved to learn that the speaker, Bernard Gaffney, would be telling of his life with the other AA - the Automobile Association.

They quickly realised that Mr Gaffney is a superb raconteur, with a wonderful sense of humour, and what was thought would be a serious talk turned into an afternoon of laughter.

He told briefly of his young life in the Merchant Navy, then at 21, deciding to stay ashore so that he could court a young lady. He told of a series of circumstances that propelled him, not into the armed services as his father wished, not into the police, but into the AA. He began as a patrolman, wearing the familiar uniform and driving a yellow motor-bike and sidecar, housing his repair tools and over the years rising to Inspector.

His first patrol was in the Chelsea area, and among his amusing reminiscences was the call-out to the Royal Car. Truth to tell he found only the chauffeur in the Black Lagonda, but returning to his depot he said he had rescued the Queen - and was believed!

By then he had married, and thought perhaps life would be better for his young family in the country, so moved to Suffolk. There he was given a patrol area of some 26 miles.

No mobile phones in those days, so he had to report at designated AA Boxes to receive instructions, but a quiet life wasn’t for him, and he returned to the capital.

As he said, in London on a quiet morning, he would have an average of 12 call outs, on a busy day 21. In Suffolk just three in six months!

Mr Gaffney mentioned that the AA had been founded for their motorists by members of the Trocadero Club. Before 1914 there were few cars on the roads, and the speed limit stood at 20 miles an hour - we can still get an idea of the scene if we watch the Brighton Run for classic cars.

The police set up speed traps and motorists who transgressed were fined a guinea on the spot.

The annual subscription to the AA was two guineas in 1904, remaining constant until in 1971 when the Association was taken over by an American asset stripper, but it was resurrected as a Public Liability Company, so although the volume of traffic on the roads means that we can no longer see the AA Patrolman saluting the cars which bear the badges on the bonnet, we know we can rely on help to come when our cars are causing trouble, a phone call is all that is necessary.

Mr Gaffney concluded his talk with an extremely

funny rendition of the Cinderella Fairy Story. which left his audience laughing and applauding loud and long as Mr Michael thanked him .

The meeting had begun with the usual hymn and prayer, then Mr Michael, the Chairman, mentioned that the Easter Party had gone really well. Excellent fish and chips had been provided by A’Hoy, with the delicious sweet supplied by Mrs Pam Michael, the music, as usual by Mr Brimble and a really happy evening was enjoyed by the many members who attended.

Next Spring’s holiday will be on the Isle of Wight, costing £299 for double rooms, and £320 for singles. More details at the next meeting. The raffle was drawn, tea and biscuits served, and the meeting closed at 4.15pm.
