Hurrah for the Council of the Isles of Scilly! This is not an exclamation you’ll hear regularly resounding through the offices of the Tresco Times but in October the council approved Sunday flying to and from the Isles of Scilly. This is great news for both visitors and locals. Skybus are currently looking in to potential schedules and the council, who run the airport, are looking at staffing levels.
“THE VOTE WAS CARRIED 14-2 SO THERE WAS BROAD SUPPORT FOR THE MOVE. I THINK IT’S A VERY POSITIVE STEP FORWARD, ALLOWING GREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR TRAVELLERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT NEED TO BE BACK AT WORK ON A MONDAY MORNING. PERSONALLY, I AM GOING TO ENJOY WEEKEND TRIPS TO THE MAINLAND TO SEE MY DAUGHTERS AND GRANDCHILDREN, AS WELL AS A SPOT OF GOLF TOO!” Tresco councillor Mike Nelhams We’ll keep you in touch with developments as they progress but remember to book early to secure your first-choice flights!

NEW ARRIVALS Congratulations to James and Steph Bailey on the birth of their daughter, Sophia on 14th September, weighing in at 5lbs 12oz at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro. New arrivals all round for the Featherstones who moved to Tresco this year as a family of three (Rob, Ruth and young Amos) and are now a family of four with the birth of Isaac David on 3rd September, weighing 8lbs 1oz.

TRESCO.CO.UK THE MOVIE – NEW YEAR, NEW LOOK, NEW FEEL Keep your eyes peeled over the next few weeks for the latest incarnation of www.tresco.co.uk. The aim is for the site to be simpler to navigate while refreshing the way it looks. It should go live on 20th January. Have a wander through it and let us know what you think. Pride of place is a brand new Tresco mini-movie, which was shot last year to give a flavour of the island. Unfortunately, its release comes too late for this year’s Oscars...
Will Ash and Jake Newton have also got themselves a new baby but this one drinks petrol and can be left on a mooring. Yes, there’s a new boat in the harbour: the Ceri Lee (BD792) is a 4.75m Seaking with a hauler, gantry and full air-con. Jointly owned by island lads Will and Jake, the Ceri Lee comes with a full Category A licence. This means that this season, Will and Jake will be selling freshly-caught lobster, crab and wet fish such as mackerel and pollock on Tresco. Hurrah! A very fond farewell to Max Rowe who has left Tresco to return to his native Cornwall, in particular to Mousehole where he is now working at the Old Coastguard, an excellent spot for a stop-over when travelling to or from the islands. Max came to Tresco in
2006 and will be well-known to many of our regular visitors from his days in the Island Office and most recently on St Mary’s quay. Eternally affable, relaxed and helpful, Max will be sorely missed and we wish him all the very best! JANUARY 2014 | 3

TRESCO’S COMMUNITY HAS BEEN GIVEN A RECENT BOOST BY THE ARRIVAL OF MORE RED SQUIRRELS, WHOSE CURRENT POPULATION NOW STANDS AT TWENTY-NINE.
he squirrels, made up of a mix of males and females, were transported in two batches from the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey. The first 20 flew direct to Tresco on board a Royal Navy Air Squadron training flight from RNAS Culdrose. The remainder chose a less dramatic arrival, flying into St Mary’s on Skybus from Land’s End and then on by jet boat to Tresco. The squirrels were heard to 4 | JANUARY 2014
comment favourably on the seamless nature of their travel arrangements. The re-homing of the red squirrels is part of an introduction programme organised collaboratively by Robin Page, the Daily Telegraph’s countryside editor, the Countryside Restoration Trust, Tresco Island and the British Wildlife Centre. David Mills of the British Wildlife Centre commented:

“We’ve been thrilled with the success of the new red squirrel colony at the Abbey Gardens. It’s fantastic that our red squirrels can be released safely into the wild in this way, protected from grey squirrels. The island is perfect for the reds and we are hopeful that this colony will breed successfully and become self-sustaining. The knowledge we’ve gained during this release venture will put us in an excellent position to help establish red squirrel colonies in other suitable protected environments. Anything that helps increase the UK red squirrel population is something we would be very happy to support.” The red squirrels have all been released just outside the lower gate of the Abbey Gardens and can easily be seen dashing about around in the environs of the garden entrance. The squirrels are fairly intrepid and have been seen running past the Island Office at New Grimsby and also up at Borough – so keep your eyes peeled! If you’d like to know more about the work of the British Wildlife Centre, please have a look at their website www.britishwildlifecentre.co.uk Thanks to Max Rowe and Isobel Nelhams for the squirrel pics!

I think father was eight when they came. When he was 14 he went to work for the Ryans - that’s the farm that Bruce Christopher has now. He worked there until the First World War and he joined up at 17. He came back to Tresco from the army and then met my mother here. She was a Londoner. She used to work for the Boscawens, friends of the DorrienSmiths. She was a cook - in those days they didn’t call them chefs! She had a breakdown and the Boscawens said they thought it would do her good to come to Scilly. She came to work in the Abbey as a maid and that’s when my father met her. She came here and she never went away again! Ever. The only time she went away from here was when she was dying. They took her away to hospital, she was 78, and then brought her
SHELLING OUT – A Tresco family has helped to raise over £3,000 for charity through a trail of painted shells on the harbour wall. Passers-by choose a shell and replace it with a coin of their choice, from 1p to £2. The money sits on the wall until collected by the fund-raisers, who rely not only on generosity but honesty too. Richard and Maralyn Hobbs, with their daughters Emily and Isabella had the idea to use this formula to raise £400 to replace swing seats at the Tresco Playpark. Richard Hobbs told the Tresco Times:

It is the Tresco Times’ sad duty to report the deaths of Nonie Handy and Gloria Lawry. Nonie passed away in her home in September, aged 85. After a short illness, Gloria passed away at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in October, aged 82. Nonie and Gloria were cousins, lifelong friends, workmates and neighbours.

Major Dorrien-Smith and his wife used to come in to the school back then. They would look through the registrar and see who’d been behaving themselves and who hadn’t! If you’d done good work you got a prize. They gave us a school treat once a year on the Abbey Green. There were races and if you won you were given sixpence, which was a lot of money to us then. There would be a nice tea and then they would present the school prizes. At Christmas the Dorrien-Smiths would have a big Christmas tree put up in the Reading Room. It reached right up to the roof. We all had to dance
“WE RAN THE SHELL TRAIL AT NEW GRIMSBY DURING JULY AND AUGUST AND RAISED £2,500 FOR REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS AT TRESCO PLAYPARK. THE SHELLS WERE PAINTED BY MARALYN AND THE GIRLS (AROUND 10,000 SHELLS), AS WELL AS HELEN GLENN AND HER CHILDREN ON ST MARY’S. HAVING DECIDED THAT WE’D RAISED ENOUGH FOR THE PLAYPARK, WE TURNED OUR ATTENTION TO THE RICKSHAW RUN AND ALL THE MONEY COLLECTED DURING THEIR DRIVE ACROSS INDIA WENT TO CANCER RESEARCH AND THAT RAISED £600.14. WE THEN HANDED IT OVER TO JULIE MCMURRAY WHO RAISED MONEY FOR THE MINISTRY OF SCILLY WALKS MACMILLAN FUND, AND SHE RAISED £266.27. SO THAT’S £3,366.41 FROM A SMALL SECTION OF WALL.

BLOOMIN’ BEAUTIFUL
This year saw Tresco Abbey Garden enter “South West in Bloom” for the very first time, a long-standing competition sponsored and organised by the Royal Horticultural Society. In October, we were delighted to hear that Tresco had been extremely successful in three categories. Tresco won the “Mary Mortimer” Trophy – Gold, awarded in the floral campaign to beautify the cities, towns and villages of south-west England. The Abbey Garden also received The London and Manchester Cup for Outstanding Contribution to Environmental Initiative and a discretionary award for Outstanding Horticulture and Plantsmanship.

TRESCO & BRYHER FOOD FESTIVAL 2013
CORNWALL TOURISM AWARDS
This year’s Food Festival proved another success, though there was one close call. Cornish fish supremo Matthew Stevens was due to deliver a series of his filleting masterclasses on Tresco. Unfortunately, Matthew was indisposed at the last minute and he was forced to cancel on the morning of the festival. Disaster! Or so it seemed…
Many congratulations to both Hell Bay and the New Inn for their achievements at the 2013 Cornwall Tourism Awards.
Philip Callan, Francesca O’Neill and Olivia Callan receive Hell Bay’s Gold Award.
Hell Bay was awarded Gold in the Small Hotel Category and the New Inn took the Bronze in the Pub of the Year category. These fine establishments are also flying the flag for the region as finalists in the South West Tourism Excellence Awards. The results will be announced on 30th January so keep your fingers crossed!

The New Inn’s Robin Lawson claims a worthy Bronze Award.
Into the breech stepped local fisherman Mark Pender of Bryher, who had flown back into the islands that morning from foreign parts. Fortified by the occasional glass of champagne from the Heidsieck stand, Mark delivered a consummate performance, brim full of insight, knowledge and local anecdotes. Well done and thank you Mark – we’ll be speaking to your agent about next year. Thanks also to Matthew Stevens, who provided all the superb fish despite not being able to make it in person. The Tresco & Bryher Food Festival 2014 will be held on 13th – 14th September. From Fri 12th to Tues 16th Sept, we are offering a special Food Festival break (four nights at The New Inn (£540) or Sea Garden Cottages (£690), B&B). To find out more or to book, please call the Island Office 01720 422849.
What could be more romantic than a candlelit dinner on your own private island on St Valentine’s Day? We’re offering a very special four-night break for two, staying in the Sea Garden Cottages, including that candlelit dinner (with lobster), a luxury hamper and return flights from Land’s End for £445 per person. The break runs from 14th – 18th Feb; for more information or to book, please call the Island Office 01720 422849.

ot only did we fail to win the 2013 Triangle but the Timesharers XI claimed the Wilson Cup! Timeshare skipper Ben Marchant (who scored a dashing 63) steered his side to a convincing victory, as the Timesharers scored 162 off 20 overs. T&BCC managed 128 in reply with the highest score 29 from Richard Dyche. Still, at least the Tresco and Bryher Cricket Club did hang on to one bit of silverware, the Pender Shield, which is awarded to the winner of the…um…Tresco vs. Bryher match. A more detailed report of the season will appear in the Tresco Times Yearbook.

oth the Men’s A and the Ladies’ A crews had a good season on the Czar, both coming second in the Czar swaps. A few trophies were claimed too with the Ladies securing the Tresco Finish and the Reverse Triangle. The Men’s B crew had some valiant races and it was great to see a Ladies’ novice crew joining the fray and we look forward to seeing more of them next season.
T&BCC vs Timeshare XI
Thoughts begin to turn inevitably to May and the World Championships, an island event which will be celebrating its 25th year. This might be the year that the starting line up for the first races breaks the 130 gig mark. If you are interested in coming along and supporting Tresco & Bryher Gig Club, we have a cheeky little four-night break over that weekend, including a spa treatment (watching sport is so exhausting) and the chance to win a lobster dinner for two with a rowing challenge. B&B at the Sea Garden Cottages with return flights £680 per person. For more information or to book, please call the Island Office on 01720 422849.

ANCIENT WRECK IN TRESCO CHANNEL Richard Larn OBE, resident of the islands and one of the country’s leading shipwreck experts sent the editor an interesting note relating to a discovery in Tresco Channel made by himself and fellow diver David McBride. Items found include a Medieval brooch, leather shoe, pewter spoon and some semi-intact wine jugs. Some elements of Tresco debris never seem to change. Richard writes: “The latest work on the site has added significant information and importance to what is now presumed to be either a shipwreck or significant marine accident c1100 – 1225 AD. English Heritage now considers this to be a site of national importance. There are no other known wreck sites between Iron Age boats and 1450.” When not scouring the seabed for artefacts, Richard keeps himself pretty busy. Last year he brought out two publications on the history of Scilly. The first, Augustus John Smith, sheds new light on the Emperor of Scilly, while Built on Scilly is a history of shipbuilding on the islands 1774 – 1891, which he wrote with Roger Banfield. Both come recommended by your editor. Further enquiries richardlarn@tiscali.co.uk

This will run from 11th April to 15th April at the Sea Garden Cottages including dinner, bed and breakfast and all tuition from £875 per person.

WATER COLOURS – ART ON TRESCO
G
allery Tresco’s exhibition soirées continue to claim the top spot in the island’s social diary. Pictured here are artists and Tresco favourites Maggie O’Brien (left) and Anthony Garratt on the opening night of their joint exhibition this summer. Ant is quietly working away on a Tresco project for next summer – more of that in the next Tresco Times. It was great to see Maggie back here this autumn too. Ostensibly on holiday, Maggie ended up working with the visiting degree students from the Falmouth University Drawing BA. This is the third year that first-year students have stayed on Tresco, led by course tutors Philip Naylor, Isolde Pullum and Peter Skerrett. Maggie gave a talk to the students, drawing on her experience as a professional artist but also on her skills as a teacher, most notably at the Newlyn School of Art. Maggie later joined them on the beach for one of their group 360 degree landscape drawings. She said:
Maggie’s skills are not the sole preserve of Newlyn Art School and lucky Falmouth students. For the past few years, she has run highlypopular painting holidays on Tresco, with all abilities and experience welcome. This year she has two painting holidays based at the New Inn: Wednesday 4th to Monday 9th June and Wednesday 1st October to Monday 6th October, including tuition, return flights, dinner, bed and breakfast from £825 per person. For more information or to book, please call the Island Office on 01720 422849. For the creatively-inclined we also have a Tresco Crafts Break (Friday 28th March to Tuesday 1st April) with a range of four workshops from jewellery-making to silk scarf printing, from £780 per person with flights and dinner, bed and breakfast at the Sea Garden Cottages. For more information or to book, please call the Island Office on 01720 422849.
It was a hugely enjoyable opportunity to spend time with everyone from the Falmouth Drawing BA – so many talented young people! 12 | JANUARY 2014
RICKSHAW RUN 2013 THE LOW-DOWN FROM JAMES DRUCE
Who: James Druce, Will Ash, Peter Marshall, Jake Newton, Richard Dyche, Simon Whitehead (ex-Tresco), Tim Norman (ex-Bryher), Matt Philips (Somerset) What: 3,500km challenge to traverse India in two weeks, using nothing but 7hp three wheeled rickshaws to raise money for Cancer Research UK Awaiting final total but looking to be over £10,000. Donate at ScillyMission.com High points: The people are the friendliest we’d ever met. So many took their time to help us find somewhere to stay, or find a spare part / mechanic, and give up their time – all without wanting a penny from us. The most endearing country ever. Low points: 22 hours straight driving into Varanasi, almost squashed by a fleet of trucks that towered over us and couldn’t see us or having to sleep on a restaurant floor after
getting stuck in a large town. No hotel would take us in – the police took pity on us and a jeep of armed officers ‘persuaded’ the restaurant owner to lend us his floor for the night.
YO G A BR E A K S For a slightly more measured approach to activity and well-being, Lucy Aldridge will once again be hosting her much-loved and inspirational Yoga Holidays on Tresco. These five-day breaks will run 2nd April – 7th April and 27th September – 2nd October. Based at the Sea Garden Cottages, this includes flights, tuition, a spa treatment and dinner, bed and breakfast from £895 per person.
