19 & 20 June ‘Rainbow Run Your Way’
Last year, due to the pandemic, the event went virtual, and around 2,000 people raised an incredible £100,000 for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW). This year, the event is again open to anyone who wants to get involved; it’s a chance to don a bright outfit, pick a distance and complete it by running, skipping, walking, skating or riding and have fun along the way. We hope to raise £30,000 for each of the charity’s three children’s hospices: Little Bridge House in North Devon, Charlton Farm in Somerset and Little Harbour in Cornwall - a poignant target for the charity’s 30th anniversary year. It’s free to take part but CHSW encourages everyone to register at www.chsw.org.uk/rainbow for access to event information and free resources.

running monthly until December - cost £5.00 including tea and cakes afterwards (FOTW £4.00). The Wharf will be closed to other visitors during talks and strict Covid hygiene, mask wearing and social distancing measures will be followed.
2 August: Ian Gasper An illustrated talk on birds and their behaviour This talk will cover many aspects of how birds live: their physiology (what makes them different), their movement, their feeding methods and abilities, their breeding methods and intelligence, plus migration and navigation strategies. Ian will use mainly his own wonderful photos from travels across the globe. The talk should be of interest to those with an awareness of birds to those with a keen interest.
6 September: Simon Dell Tavistock’s Policing Past Simon Dell’s new talk ties in to his two recent books: Tavistock’s Policing Past and Tavistock Guildhall - A Story of Policing, written to celebrate the restoration and opening of Tavistock Guildhall as a ‘gateway’ centre for the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, and commemorating over two centuries of policing in Tavistock and West Devon. His talk charts the life of this unique building which housed the magistrates’ court and police station from 1848 until 2012.
13 September: Richard Thomas A Day in the Life of a Thames Tug A close look at the work done by the Cory tug General VIII, which was one of a fleet of five vessels engaged in the movement of refuse lighters on the Thames. The talk features a voyage from Wandsworth to the aptly named Mucking in Essex. It gives an insight to one of the remaining commercial operations on the tidal Thames and how this has changed since the closure of the dumping site at Mucking

June & July The Box
Wampum: Stories From The Shells Of Native America
The exhibition centres on a wampum belt created for The Box by 100 Wampanoag craftspeople of Massachusetts, displayed alongside seven historic wampum belts on loan from the British Museum and Saffron Walden Museum. Wampum belts use shells to tell stories of communities and culture. The exhibition runs until 11 July.
Mayflower 400: Legend and Legacy
The exhibition reopened in May with a large collection of new artefacts from across the globe including the Second Peirce Patent from Pilgrim Hall Museum. Signed in 1621, this is the oldest existing state document of New England and gave the Mayflower passengers English permission to settle in America.
Smeaton’s Tower, and Elizabethan House
Also part of The Box family are Plymouth’s famous striped red and white lighthouse, Smeaton’s Tower, and Elizabethan House - one of the few remaining buildings from this era in Plymouth. An exceptional example of an Elizabethan boarding house, the Grade II Listed Elizabethan House has been undergoing a six-year restoration and has not been open to the public since 2015. Visitors will be taken on an immersive, multi-sensory journey through Plymouth’s history by the house and the people who lived there between 1599 and 1926 when the house was saved for the nation. Elizabethan House’s planned public opening is in July 2021. Smeaton’s Tower Lighthouse will open to visitors once social distancing measures are lifted by the UK Government. Both venues are ticketed.

Sunday 11 July Mayflower 400 Four Nations Ceremony
The ceremony is the UK’s flagship Mayflower 400 event and the 70-metre stage will host an epic production, telling the story of the Mayflower Pilgrims’ journey in search of religious freedom and exploring the impact of this on the world. A massive array of singers representing choirs and schools from the region will be accompanied by the full concert orchestra of HM Royal Marines Band Plymouth. Together they will perform brand new music, accompanied by actors on stage and bespoke film footage, all narrated to tell this unique story. The script and lyrics have been written by Nick Stimson, associate director at the Theatre Royal Plymouth, with music by Chris Williams. For the first time ever, this commemoration event will include leading representatives of the Native American Wampanoag tribes, who have historically been excluded from the narrative despite having been greatly affected by the Mayflower’s arrival and subsequent European settlement. All four nations involved in the story – the UK, USA, Netherlands and the Wampanoag tribes – will be represented by high-ranking dignitaries. Gates open at 1pm, with activities on stage from 2pm, and the ceremony taking place from 3pm to approximately 4.30pm. Food, drink and toilets are available; visitors are welcome to bring their own food and drink with them, as well as blankets or camping chairs as seating will not be provided. Tickets are free but must be booked prior to entry at: visitplymouth.co.uk/ mayflower400ceremony. Saturday 17 & Sunday 18 July SailGP
One of the world’s most impressive sail racing events, SailGP, will stop in Plymouth in 2021, following the season opening events in Bermuda and Taranto, Italy. Known as Britain’s Ocean City, Plymouth has been selected to host the Great Britain Grand Prix, the third event of SailGP Season 2. SailGP features eight national teams made up of the sport’s top athletes, including Britain’s own Sir Ben Ainslie, the world’s most successful Olympic sailor, leading the Great Britain SailGP Team. The highspeed, adrenaline-filled racing will take place on Plymouth Sound each day, alongside onshore activity throughout the afternoon in the race village where you can watch the action ‘close- up’ on big screens whilst looking out over the racecourse from Plymouth’s famous Hoe.
Until March 2022 Our Nature Challenge
Dartmoor National Park Authority is celebrating its 70th anniversary with a special Time for Nature challenge, encouraging people to discover, enjoy and protect landscapes, and connect with the world around them in new or different ways. To get involved all you need to do is: download an activity sheet or pick one up from a National Park Visitor Centre, choose activities to do, tick them off when done and share your experiences on social media. Points are earned for each activity completed and they can be done on Dartmoor, in other green spaces or at home.

You can find the full information including all activities at www.dartmoor. gov.uk. National Parks exist to protect the landscape’s natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage; to promote understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities, and to foster the economic and social wellbeing of local communities. They’re also important for recreation, tourism and wellbeing for millions of people each year. Dartmoor National Park’s official birthday is on 30 October and was one of the first National Parks to be set up alongside the Peak District, Lake District and Snowdonia.

WE SELL, SERVICE AND INSTALL RAYBURN
This year’s Tavistock Carnival will be somewhat different from previous years but as the country gradually returns to near normality after the pandemic, the Lions Club decided to organise some form of celebration for the local community. So, for this year only, Carnival will be taking place over just the weekend of 17th/18th July, provided COVID restrictions allow. The club is planning a vehicle cavalcade on Saturday 17 July featuring representatives of key workers, emergency services, support organisations and local traders who have provided a service to the community during lockdowns. This will be a vehicle-only procession starting from Down Road at 6pm to tour various housing estates around the town where a circular in and out route is possible. Local residents will be notified in advance giving them the opportunity to show appreciation in a similar way to the ‘clap for carers’. Organisations that consider it is appropriate for them to take part and would like to join the cavalcade, are asked to contact Lion, John Dawson on jdawson526@ btinternet.com.
On Sunday 18 July from 1pm to 5pm, there will be a celebratory ‘Party in Park’ in The Meadows when local residents are invited to come together for a great afternoon’s entertainment. Stannary Brass Band, Blowzone and the Tavy Tars will be performing in the bandstand whilst at the other end of The Meadows, there will be a disco, and local bands will perform on the sound stage kindly provided by Barry Lowton. Plymouth Pipe Band will also be in attendance so there will be music to suit all tastes! Other attractions include a dog show, a duck race on the canal, two engines from the Robey Trust and a selection of stalls from local charities. Food and drink will be available, including the Lions’ BBQ and tea & homemade cake stall. Discussions are also in hand with the fairground organisers to see if some of their rides could open on the day. The club is very keen to involve as many local organisations as possible and if any others would like to join in, they should contact Lion, John Dawson. So, all in all, an afternoon of fun and entertainment not to be missed after almost a year and a half of effective hibernation!
In addition to the cavalcade and Party in the Park, the club would also like to encourage people to become involved in their own local celebrations such as street parties and barbecues, all of which could be promoted on social media as a ‘Virtual Carnival’. Please note that the plans for the weekend were correct at the time of going to press but please check the Lions’ Facebook page and www.tavistocklions.org.uk nearer the date for final details.
