Radical new plans for economic growth

Big boost for Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Local people in Torpoint and the Rame Peninsula have set out radical plans for how they intend to drive growth, jobs and prosperity.

They are part of over 100 coastal communities across the country taking control of their futures.

The plans lay out practical steps including development of new water transport infrastructure at Torpoint and Cremyll, a co-ordinated marketing and tourism strategy for Cornwall’s ‘Hidden Corner’ and improved public transport, cycling and footpath network, which will help make Torpoint and the Rame Peninsula a destination to live and work in for years to come.

Communities Secretary Greg Clark said that Torpoint and the Rame Peninsula’s work is ‘proof coastal communities are ready for economic lift off’.

He added: “Our Great British Coast has enormous economic potential and we are determined to see it thrive all year round – not just in the summer months.

“The huge number of plans submitted, demonstrate the wave of optimism, and wealth of creative and practical ideas to boost economic lift-off.

“I now want to see their hard work and enthusiasm come to fruition by helping to deliver their ideas through the Coastal Community teams.”

Torpoint Town Councillor Gary Davis, Chair of the Torpoint and Rame Peninsula Coastal Community Advisory Committee said: “Our economic plan is a series of connected achievable projects that together will enhance employment opportunities, our environment and deliver a stronger, more resilient peninsula community.

“We are already working on delivering the plan after our recent success in securing Coastal Revival funding for improvements to Portwrinkle Harbour.

Over the coming months we will be developing bids and applications to secure the additional funding required to formalise the team organisation and deliver some quick wins from the plan.

“Our Vision is for Torpoint and the Rame Peninsula to be sought-after places to live and a location for high quality sustainable holidays – whilst still Cornwall’s ‘Hidden Corner’ which people love to visit.”

More than 11 million people live in coastal communities, from major cities to seaside villages.

The tourism industry alone accounts for the employment of 250,000 people across 150 seaside resorts, and contributes £4 billion to the UK economy.

Torpoint Police are investigating an incident when an estimated 16 cars had their tyres slashed.

The vandalism took place in the Kynance Close, Trevithick Avenue and Goad Avenue area of the town in the early hours of Wednesday March 23.

One elderly resident, who wished to remain anonymous, said: “It’s mindless vandalism. I’m absolutely gutted. I’m a pensioner and it cost me £57 to get a new tyre. One of my neighbours had to pay £90 to have his replaced.

“Whoever it was took a knife or sharp instrument and stuck it in the wall of the Students from Torpoint Community College took part in a number of training activities in March in preparation for the Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award Expedition and the Ten Tors Challenge.

Some of the students are taking on both challenges. The day started with the majority of the 40 students taking part in some first aid training courtesy of HMS Raleigh.

They learnt about treating hypothermia, heat exhaustion, bleeding and foot care, as well as practising some CPR. The students then returned to the Children’s Centre on the college grounds and were joined by the remaining students to learn about the equipment they need, some kit checks, plus camping and cooking skills.

It was a successful day thanks to the medical staff at HMS Raleigh, college staff Lynn Trotter and June Porter, plus volunteers Colin Parton, Jen Hicks and Stuart Mitchell.

tyres - which meant they couldn’t be repaired.

“I heard that from one garage that they had replaced tyres on 16 vehicles, but I’m not sure if that is all that was involved.

“It’s important that people in Torpoint know that this has happened because it could happen again at any time.

“We don’t get a lot of trouble with vandalism in this part of Torpoint - I remember there was some damage to vehicles about 10 years ago, but apart from that it’s usually very quiet.”

He said that there are street lights in the area, but it looked like the vandals had

selected places which were in shadow.

He added that police officers had visited the area to gather information.

Torpoint Police posted a message on Twitter on March 24 which read: “In the early hours of Wednesday 23rd March a number of vehicle tyres had been slashed around the Trevithick and Goad Avenue area.

“If anybody saw anything or has any information please could you make contact with myself via 101 or you can message me quoting CR/018495/16. Many Thanks PC Wooldridge.”

Expedition training for college students

VITAL WORK OF EVE APPEAL HIGHLIGHTED AT TORPOINT WIVES GROUP MEETING Guest speaker at the Torpoint Wives Group in February was Cath Olufsen, who spoke about the Eve Appeal - a charity which was set up to raise funds for research into cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer is known as the silent killer because by the time symptoms appeared, the cancer was often too far advanced to be treated and cured.

Cath had taken part in a trial for 10 years which was funded by Cancer Research UK, the Medical Research Council and the Department of Health.

She said that the five gynaecological cancers are the third largest killer of women and have a devastating effect on the victims and their families.

Cath said that the Eve Appeal is relatively unknown and explained that a coffee morning will be held at a later date to raise funds for the charity.

Chair Eve Oates thanked Cath for her talk, which raised awareness of the need for vigilance by women and hoped the coffee morning would be well supported.

The second half of the evening had a lighter note, with members taking part in two quizzes - one on general knowledge and the second on flowers. There was lots of laughter at some of the answers and helped to bring the evening to a happy conclusion with a raffle, tea and biscuits.

Raising awareness of the impact of dementia An Awareness Session organised recently by the Torpoint Dementia Action Group in St James Hall proved a success.

The purpose of the lively and interactive sessions is to raise awareness in the community of the problems people living with dementia may struggle with.

By exploring why these symptoms occur we hope to make the resulting behaviour less frightening and so hopefully reduce the stigma attached to this now very common illness.

The sessions will be run regularly in Torpoint and surrounding villages and are open to everyone. However the group especially welcome shop keepers and business people who may come into contact with people living with dementia.

Among those from Torpoint attending a recent meeting was the Torpoint Post Mistress and Lloyds Bank manager and staff.

When the majority of staff have attended a session, the group will issue a Dementia Friendly sticker to display so customers can know they will receive extra understanding of the problems they may have.

This way Torpoint will be designated as Dementia Friendly Town and join hundreds of towns in the South West that have reached this status.

The Torpoint Memory Cafe was well attended in February with everyone enjoying laughter, crafts, ball games and plenty of cake! The cafe is held on the third Wednesday of each month at St James Church Hall from 2-4pm and If you have any time spare, we always welcome volunteers. The next meeting is on April 20.

The Millbrook Memory Cafe takes place on the first Tuesday of the month, with the next meeting taking place on May 3.

Now the Government is supporting ‘local coastal community teams’ to help revive towns and deliver their plans for future economic growth.

Local people involved in the teams have been given £10,000 to kick-start work and given expert guidance to help shape their own town’s future prosperity.

Other seaside areas that are taking control of their futures are: Plymouth which will build a new £34 million history centre to mark the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s voyage to America. It will also secure investment to kick start a number of projects, including new digital hot spots across

They will also enhance the living environment through public art and green space landscaping, and support start-ups through a new business hub; and Scarborough which will restructure its high street, redeveloping derelict floor space and bringing good-quality new homes into the city centre.

COASTAL COMMUNITY FACTFILE

118 Coastal Community Teams were created last year and given a share of £1.18m to help drive forward coastal areas growth.

The local economic plans submitted to Government by the teams cover areas including housing, business opportunities, jobs and skills, health and civic pride.

Coastal Community Teams are just one of a number of initiatives launched by the government to boost the Great British Coast.

The £120 million Coastal Communities Fund, established in 2012, has money going to projects in every region and country of the United Kingdom. So far it has created nearly 14,000 new jobs and over 10,000 training places.

In addition 77 projects ranging from theatres to piers and lidos to lighthouses, received an addition share of £3 million in December to help restore them to their former glory.

4 Advertiser April 2016 It is with great sadness that I have to report that Cllr Mrs Andrea Johnson is resigning from the Torpoint Town Council due to family commitments.

Andrea, who has worked tirelessly for the council especially as Chair of the Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group feels the time is now right to resign. Andrea’s last council meeting will be the April meeting which is on April 22. The council officers, staff and councillors wish Andrea and her family all the very best for the future.

Report from the ‘Keep Torpoint Clean Team’ The team had a clean-up on March 15 and collected seven bags of rubbish plus a large plastic children’s toy car, a large umbrella and various other large items from the woods along the edge of Trevol Road (The Grove).

The woods were in a horrible state and it’s obvious that there is some regular dumping going on in there. The large plastic toy car was still in fairly good condition and could still be used if it was cleaned up, so it was obviously dumped just because someone wanted it out of the way. Unbelievable! There was also a lot of littering as they found many plastic drink containers, crisp packets and other sweet wrappers etc. Thank you Linda and your team of volunteers.

Val spoke to a Cory’s lorry driver who was clearing the back lanes. He asked if the Mayor could make a request to the house owners to keep their lanes clear of rubbish, it took them two hours in one particular area to clear the rubbish. Rubbish encourages rats. So this is my request to you.

Penalty for fly-tipping Dumping household, industrial and commercial waste illegally is a serious criminal offence which carries a fine of up to £20,000 (unlimited if the case goes to the Crown Court) or an offender can even be sent to prison. It is also an offence to permit fly-tipping. Cornwall Council treat this problem very seriously and will usually prosecute anyone caught fly-tipping waste.

Well done to Rosie Hortop and her friends for raising £233 for the Macmillan Nurses at her coffee morning this was for a very worthy cause.

The Mayor’s Ball will be taking place at The Wardroom, HMS Raleigh on Saturday May 14 7pm for 7.30pm to 12.30am Tickets £35 to include three course meal and live music.

Royal Navy officer cadets restore gun mounts at Maker

Royal Navy Officer Cadets from Britannia Royal Naval College (BRNC) have been working to clear the bracken surrounding three World War Two gun mounts at Maker Heights.

A group of 21 cadets spent the day on site removing and cutting back the brambles to allow public access to the area. The working part was led by Warrant Officer Darren ‘Fruity’ Paskins, the Naval College’s ceremonial training officer, who lives in Torpoint.

WO Paskins has been spending much of his free time in recent months working at Maker to restore the military sites.

He said: “This is all part of our history and our heritage. I think it’s very important to remember our past and restore these areas to their former glory as best we can. The Cadets here are in week 26 of their 30-weeks training and actually came to me to offer their assistance as a way of reaching out into the community. They are due to pass out as commissioned officers in the Royal Navy in April.”

Among the team was Officer Cadet Dan Jinks from Beacon Park in Plymouth. The 21-year-old is a former pupil of Devonport High School for Boys and started his Royal Navy training in September 2015.

He said: “We’ve got our final assessment coming up next week before hopefully our pass-out in April, so it’s nice to have some time out of the college to calm the nerves and then we can go back and smash it.

“We’ve camped out overnight

Celebrating Mother’s Day Torcare celebrated Mother’s Day on March 6 with a cream tea party where staff, residents and family members could celebrate this special day together.

We had the Poslips, a local couple who visited us, singing old classic songs as we ate scones, cream and jam and the residents enjoyed a sherry. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon entertainment from dancing, toe tapping and even some singing.

Prior to the day staff, visitors and residents knitted the ‘flower buttonholes’ which was a great memento of the day.

We would like to say a big thank you to Poslips for coming along and making our Mother’s Day special and the continuing support we receive from friends and family at our events.

Warrant Officer ‘Fruity’ Paskins (left) and Officer Cadet Amy Blake working at Maker Heights and had a tour of the site when we were told about the history.

The guns stationed here were to protect the dockyard during World War Two. It’s been a bit of hard graft digging out, but it’s given us a sense of appreciation of the military history here at Maker. I knew about the place before, but have to confess this is the first time I’ve been here.”

Officer Cadet Reece Greg from Helston was also visiting Maker Heights for the first time. The 19-year-old said: “I’ve sailed in and out of Plymouth so was aware of Maker, but I didn’t know the significance of the place.

“We’ve been split into three teams and set to work on three different gun emplacements and I think we have the worse one, but we’re trying to clear it out and give

it the attention it deserves. It’s reasonably hard work, but it’s all enjoyable because we’re working alongside each other as part of a team. The Navy is good and places a high value on pride and traditions and you get a sense of that here with our history from World War Two.” Maker Heights has a long link with the military dating back to at least the 1700s when guns were placed there to protect Plymouth from the threat of invasion from allies aligned to America during the War of Independence. A Heavy Anti-Aircraft battery was built in the late 1930s and altered in the 40s. American troops also mustered on the Rame Peninsula in preparation for the D-Day landing.

Choir is a big hit in Brixham The Torpoint Lady Singers travelled to Brixham on March 12 appreciating the warmth of the sun and lovely scenery on the way to be greeted by the same warmth in the welcome extended to by the chairman and committee of the Brixham Orpheus Male Voice Choir.

An amazing buffet tea provided by the lady supporters of the Choir was followed by a variety concert featuring songs old and new, humour, laughter, generated by the charismatic soloist, Jonathan Oliverio, his bubbly personality, his piano solos, which include ‘Easy Winners’ and his enthusiasm encouraging both choirs and audience to join in an old-time singalong creating a happy ‘feel good’ atmosphere, which lasted all the evening.

The charity chosen was Genesis which works with young people aged 11 to 24 in the community who engage in risk taking behaviour in areas such as young offending, relationships, health, substance abuse, employment, training and education helping with a Christian ethos, to enable them to make a positive transition into adulthood through a diverse range of products and activities.

The compere for the evening was Capn Bob Curtis.

He introduced the Brixham Orpheus Male Voice Choir who started the concert with Rachie music by Caradog Roberts and finalising their first section with Amazing Grace.

The Torpoint Lady Singers sang Every Time I Feel the Spirit followed by America from West Side Story.

Continuing with the theme musical director Sylvia Fraser and Sue Westwell, accompanist of the Torpoint Lady Singers played a duet of Maria with the choir completing with Tonight from the same show.

Brixham started the second half with Always on my Mind, Love me Tender, If Only We Have Love and the rousing American Trilogy.

Torpoint Lady Singers sang a new arrangement of the Skye Boat Song, the humorous The Skippers of St Ives and an old favourite Bridge over Troubled Water.

Two hymns were then sung Love Divine and I Will sing the Wondrous Story accompanied on the organ

by Brixham Male Voice Choir’s musical director Ron Burrington, The accompanist for the Male choir was Sue Linacre.

Chris Trethewey, Torpoint Lady Singers chairperson thanked the Brixham Choir for their warm welcome and buffet tea and hoped they would return to Torpoint for another concert.

A total of £660 was raised at the concert for the Genesis charity.

Truly Scrumptious evening Torpoint Lady Singers held A Truly Scrumptious Cabaret Concert at the Council Chambers in Torpoint.

A warm welcome was extended to the audience who were seated cafe style at tables decorated with yellow flowers which are the choirs colours, myriads of tea-lights glistened and sparkled in contrast to the gloomy weather outside.

The concert, with its light-hearted programme of music and comedy, showcased the many talents within the choir. The spectacle of 26 scrumptious puddings at the side of the hall made by the ladies rivalled many of those seen in TV cookery

programmes.

The programme sung by the choir started with Cabaret followed by excerpts from The King and I and some old favourites Close to You, Unchained Melody, The Bare Necessities and All that Jazz.

The choir’s ‘groupies’ John Stubberfield, Ken Trethewey and David Mashford, all talented musicians also entertained. Dave on accordion, Ken on saxophone and John on bass guitar led the choir and audience in a sing-a-long.

Choir members proved they could do comedy as well with Chris Trethewey reciting Pam Ayres poem Packing compete with props and demonstrating how not to pack for a holiday and Rachel Kenhard performing Donald where’s your trewsers (trousers) a smart performance in full Scottish rig accompanied by Sue Westwell, on the piano.

The choir were delighted that the Mayor and Mayoress Mike and Val Pearn were able to attend and we appreciate the constant support they have given us. Chris Trethewey, chair, compered the concert and thanked Hilda Sims, vice-chair, committee and members for organising the concert.

Bryan Ferry stars at Looe Music Festival

Luisa Ead of Chough Bakery being presented with the Cornish Pasty Company award by Barny Carter of Carters Packaging

Pasty champ is truly ‘choughed’ Three victories for one family and a top award for a baker who travelled from Canada were among the highlights of the fifth annual World Pasty Championships at the Eden Project.

Thousands of people flocked to the home of the famous Biomes on St Piran’s Day to celebrate the county’s most famous foodstuff. More than 200 pasties were entered into the eight classes covering amateurs, professionals, juniors and companies.

Luisa Ead claimed victory in the Cornish Pasty Company category on behalf of her family’s Chough Bakery based in Padstow, and her son Jack, nine, won the Cornish Pasty Junior Category. Luisa’s other son Robbie, 12, claimed third place in the Open Savoury Junior category with a Scottishthemed haggis, neeps and tatties pasty (complete with a ‘wee dram’).

Luisa said: “I’m absolutely amazed. I’m so happy - it’s like the best day of my life. I’m so proud. This is the award I’ve never won.

It’s such a special day. I’m so proud of the boys, I could cry. They’ve done so well.”

Matt Grant of The Great British Pasty and

Pie Co. based in Ottawa, Canada, claimed the coveted Pasty Ambassador prize. Matt travelled more than 3,000 miles to compete for the second year running at the World Pasty Championships, leaving behind minus 30-degree temperatures to compete in the Cornish sunshine.

Matt said: “It’s unbelievable to be named the Pasty Ambassador. It’s a very proud moment. I’ll definitely come back next year, I love the people, everyone’s so nice and there’s a great community around pasties.”

Alongside the hotly-contested pasty competition was a gala celebration of music and comedy headlined by Fisherman’s Friends, Seth Lakeman and Kernow King.

The event is supported by industry body the Cornish Pasty Association.

The event was also a way of showcasing the work of charities and good causes.

Eden, in partnership with the Cornwall Community Foundation, invited Recycle and Renewing, The Cornwall Faith Forum, Creation Fest, Soroptimist International of St Austell & District, Wadebridge Foodbank & StoreHouse, Flashlight to promote their causes.

Looe Music Festival is three days of superb live music in a magical setting on the stunning Cornish coast.

A ‘grown-up’ music festival where camping isn’t a prerequisite, where visitors can go along for the day or the weekend, stay in comfort and eat like a king.

For three days in September between September 23 and September 25 the town of Looe gets hit with big music, manic entertainment and a smattering of culture for good measure. Over 9,000 visitors every day enjoy live music from more than 90 bands throughout the three days.

The festival pops up from nowhere to transform the beach and the streets, giving locals and visitors from all over the world a chance to mingle and enjoy the show.

Looe Music Festival is an awardwinning not-for-profit event run by a registered charity focused on promoting quality live music.

Headline acts already confirmed include Bryan Ferry - who is the star attraction on Saturday night - Wilko Johnson, Fun Lovin Criminals, Alabama 3, Fisherman’s Friends and actor turned singer-songwriter Laurence Fox.

The flowerbioblitzes will play an important part in giving us a greater understanding of the species that rich maritime grassland that is maintained at Godrevy is one of its strongholds and live along our coastline. the Yellowhammer Emberiza citronella at “The shifting nature of our shoreline means Sandymouth, which has not been recorded that we need to think ahead about what is happening to coastal habitats and how we since 1989.

The surveys were organised to coincide might secure the future of the wildlife that

lives by the sea. The National Trust is working alongside partners at coastal landscapes across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to create space for nature to move on a much greater scale.”

Alex Raeder, national environment manager for the National Trust said: “The South West Coast has got to be one of the most the nation’s most special landscapes to see and experience nature. Living on the edge of the land and sea are many unique and special species and it’s great to be able to work with people to find out what’s out there and

share the delight in finding something new or unusual.”

Millbrook School pupils raise over £1000 for charity Youngsters at Millbrook School raised over £1,000 for Sport Relief.

The School Council decided they wanted to organise a sponsored run to support the charity event this year.

Forms were duly distributed and sponsors obtained. On Friday March 18, on a sunny morning, all the school lined up ready to tackle the 400 metre course around the school field.

Everyone watching was amazed at the grit and determination showed by the children with most children achieving a distance between one and four miles. Then came the tricky task of collecting in the sponsor money - a total of over £1,100 was raised by the 115 children.

Headteacher, Trevor Caves said: “We were all very impressed with the efforts shown by the children on the day and then totally staggered by the generosity shown in the amount of money raised. We very much appreciate the donations made to Sport Relief.”

More than 50 people of all ages from Kingsand and Cawsand joined forces to do their bit for Sport Relief.

Starting at midday the group set off towards Penlee Point walking, running, toddling and chatting as they went. There were as many four legged companions as people and in some respects three generations of the same family, providing the experience with a wonderfully friendly atmosphere. Organiser Dawn Western organiser later announced over £250 had been raised.

Most Home Calls FREE for over 60’s TEL: 0800 014 8031 www.rls-uk.com • Covering Devon & Cornwall Trainee sailors and staff at HMS Raleigh have been given the chance to get their own back on the physical training instructors (PTI) to raise money for Sport Relief and the Royal Navy’s own charity.

For a small donation sailors and civilian staff could nominate a PTI and then spin a wheel to determine the exercise their chosen instructor would be required to do. The six exercises on the wheel of fortune are part of the 10week initial naval training programme for recruits and included rope climbs, retrieving bricks from the bottom of the pool, sprints, pull-ups, burpies and press-ups.

Leading Physical Trainer (LPT) Dan Threlkeld, the PT Payback event organiser, said: “These are the exercises we give the trainees the most and the ones I think they find the toughest. The response from everyone at Raleigh was good; staff and trainees.

“Certain PTIs took the brunt of the challenge, particularly with the trainees’ nominations. I think in a weird way that shows a bit of mutual respect.

They recognise the commitment and effort we’ve put into their training to make them physically better and get them through their course and they’ve shared that little bit of camaraderie and felt comfortable enough with us to return the favour.”

For the super-fit PTIs it could be argued that it was just another day at the office, but things were not made easy for them. The intensity of the challenge increased with the amount of money donated. LPT Threlkeld was challenged to complete 30 rope climbs wearing a 15 kilogram weight belt.

He said: “The rope is just over nine metres high and the trainees have to get to the top three times during initial training. Some people who I served with on board ship put a little bit extra in the bucket to challenge me and

Trainee sailors enjoying one PTI being put to the test for Sport Relief then came back to see me do the rope climbs later. It’s a bit like the circle of life. We’ve given them exercises to do in the past and now they’ve given them to us. It’s all for a great cause and we’ve raised over £500 to be split between Sport Relief and the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity.”

Among those taking the pay back opportunity were the week’s passingout-class. Recruit Molly Taylor, aged 19, from Northumberland, said: “The PT element of our course has been progressive to help us get fitter and stronger and to the level we need to be when we are in the Fleet.

“The PTIs have given us a hard time when we’ve deserved it, but overall it’s been really enjoyable. We’ve challenge PO Card, who was our instructor throughout our 10 weeks, because it’s a good cause and it’s a bit of fun, that’s the only reason. We clubbed together and gave him sprints, press-ups, burpies, bricks and ropes. I think some others are going to come along later to make him do some more. Training has been great and I’ve loved it.”

10 Advertiser April 2016 It’s April already - where has the year gone!

We started off this month with a presentation evening at the Torpoint Football Club presenting certificates and trophies to all the brave New Year’s Day dippers, well done for all of you who turned up on such a wild stormy day to raise money for your own charities and the Lions.

The standard of fancy dress was as always pretty amazing and for all of you who dipped into the cold stormy water that day, we thank you. At the presentation the Lion President Steve Morris promised that the weather would be better next year! (Lion’s crystal ball).

We would like to thank the Kingsand Community Hall committee for once again allowing the use for changing facilities and registration of the dippers, the Rame Gig club for opening up and supplying hot food and drinks and also the judges who without all of this support it would be a struggle to organise this event.

Our local MP and Lion Sheryll Murray was once again a judge and of course being a local to the area made sure that plenty of donations ended up in the collecting buckets, well done Sheryll.

Torpoint and Rame Peninsular Lions Club carried out their annual daffodil picking and selling to coincide with Mothering Sunday. The Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend February 27 and 28 was as cold as it could get for picking at Penlee with the wind coming up from the sea, but with woolly hats warm clothes the daffodils were picked, bunched and ready to sell at Kernow Mill and Cremyll ferry terminal.

On the second weekend March 5 and 6 the weather was slightly better and a bonus on the Sunday was a group of Torpoint Community pupils from CATS (Community Action Through Sport) who kindly volunteered to assist in the picking and selling which made life a bit easier for all. A steady stream of buyers made the effort worthwhile.

The Lions would like to thank the farmer Jeremy Oatey for supplying daffodils and for offering the fields for the picking and to Kernow Mill and Cremyll ferry bosses for allowing the sale of daffodils at their premises and all the volunteers who are not Lions, including the CATS youngsters for their valuable assistance.

We are so lucky to have the support of the local schools particularly CATS and also Lion’s Young Leaders in Service Awards Scheme, both from Torpoint Community College.

These students give up their free time to work and support the local community and have clocked up a staggering 450

Daffodils for Mother’s Day

On March 18 a group of the youngsters from that group turned up at a beach at the Chappledown-Marine Drive area Torpoint along with Chris Goodman, a teacher and Claire Wallestein from the Rame Penninsular Beach Care group to carry out a beach clean.

The students enjoyed a lovely sunny evening as they filled their bags with plastic bottle tops, polystyrene, tyres and so on, but the best and most unusual piece was a brightly coloured garden gnome found among the rubbish! Maybe he will be given a new home and be loved again. Well done team for your efforts to help the community and others that need that extra help.

Dates for your diaries: May 2 Black Prince, jointly organised by the Lions and the Black Prince committee; June 19 Father’s Day walk at Mount Edgcumbe and July 16 the annual Lions Summer Fair at Torpoint Community College sports field.

Thank you all for your continued support which without we could not commit to donating funds to the local community in need of our help.

Anyone interested in joining our club and give up some spare time to raise money please contact Lion President Steve Morris on 01752 816427 or even help with some of our bigger events - help is always appreciated.

Raleigh lose out in sporting Royal Marines band in India challenge HMS Raleigh narrowly missed out to Britannia Royal Naval College in the clash of the South West training establishments competing in the Tamar Games.

Over a range of sporting events, designed to bring the rating recruits and officer cadets together for a competitive, but fun, afternoon, HMS Raleigh were beaten overall by just two points.

The games, held this time at HMS Raleigh, included seven events; gig rowing, an assault course and shooting competition, indoor climbing, football, indoor hockey, Swedish long ball and finally a Superstars competition.

Three points were awarded for a win, two for a draw and one for the losing team in each event.

HMS Raleigh dominated the football against the Naval College’s second team, leading by one nil at half-time and were unlucky to concede an equaliser in the second half.

The gig racing, won by the Naval College, took place on the River Lynher and for most of the Raleigh team it was their first time in a gig. Trainee logistician supply chain Emily Sennett and trainee writer Heather Kitcheman are both undertaking their specialist Raleigh players in red attempt to training at break down a Britannia attack the base and were among the Raleigh crew.

The Naval College also won the Swedish Longball in a closely fought match with Raleigh winning the indoor climbing by a two minute difference in timings.

In the assault course and shooting competition the Naval College achieved the fastest time over the course, while HMS Raleigh won the shooting.

In the final event, the Superstars, Dartmouth were the early leaders in the competition which featured 10 different stances ranging from tyre flips to power bag relays.

Raleigh managed to pull it back and just maintained their lead in the final event, a one lap of the parade ground stretcher run, with Britannia closing in on them for the last 100 metres.

Event organiser, Leading Physical Training Instructor Joe McGarry from HMS Raleigh, said: “Overall it’s been a great event. All the participants showed great determination and commitment throughout and in the end HMS Raleigh just missed out to BRNC.”

The bands of the Her Majesty’s Royal Marines and the Indian Navy presented a joint sunset performance at the iconic India Gate in New Delhi.

The band of HM Royal Marines is based at HMS Raleigh in Torpoint, the premier training establishment of the British Royal Navy.

The very same band has given rise to great composers and music directors such as British March King KJ Alford and FJ Ricketts. The Indian component comprised of musicians from INS India augmented by musicians from the Indian Navy Central Band.

The bands performed a wide repertoire of stirring martial music like Colonel Bogey, The Thunderer, Heart of the Oak, Jai Bharti, Life of the Ocean Waves, Sare Jahan Se Achcha. Popular movie theme tunes like Dragon Music, Pink Panther, and James

Bond will also feature alongside Amazing Grace.

Popular Indian pieces like Vaishnava Janto, Jeena Jeena and a medley of old Hindi music from the 1970s will also be played.

The programme will culminate with the National Anthems of the two countries. The bands performed under the baton of Cdr VC D’Cruz and Major Richard Long respectively.

The Royal Marines band had earlier played at various locations in Delhi, including the local schools and the Gymkhana Club, and held a workshop with the Indian Navy band.

The visit of the Royal Marine Band was part of a broad and deep collaboration between the UK and India. During Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Brtain in November 2015, the UK and India agreed to deepen Defence and International Security Partnership across military capability,

counter terrorism and cyber, as well as consolidating strong cooperation that exists already in many areas of defence and security.

The UK and India are elevating their defence relationship by establishing capability partnerships in strategic areas, through which both the countries will work together across the spectrum of doctrine, training and other elements upon which military effectiveness depends.

These partnerships would enable support to ‘Make in India’ and transfer of strategic capability between the two nations, including defence technologies and manufacturing in areas of mutual interest.

In support of India-UK technology capability partnerships, the two countries are set to develop research into new areas and progress their defence science and technology collaborative projects.

Brownies fund-raising appeal for Disneyland trip A fund raising appeal has been launched to take a group of Brownies from Torpoint and Downderry to Disneyland Paris.

Organiser Helen Bunston said: “I have wanted to take my Brownie units from Torpoint and Downderry to Disneyland for several years. This has now become a reality as I have booked the trip on a bed and breakfast basis for the Whitsun half term in May. “I believe that this is the first times that Brownies from Torpoint and Downderry will have been abroad and as you can it is a very exciting time. We are now working hard fundraising for the cost of food, insurance and travel to London and back.”

She said that because of timings they were unable to use public transport and decided to hire a coach for the trip as although it was more expensive it was by

far the better option for the girls.

She said that the coach hire was costing £1800 and food and insurance a further £2500 - on top of the cost of staying at Disneyland.

“We have already organised a series of fundraising events with more planned,” said

Helen. “So far we have raised £2500, but we still have a long way to go.”

She added that they would welcome support and help from businesses, organisations and individuals who could help make the dream come true for the Brownies.

Torpoint WI hear about work of Shekinah Mission President Rosemary Slee welcomed members and one visitor to the meeting and introduced the speaker for the evening, Laura Frazer-Crewes, who gave a talk entitled ‘Building Lives and Futures ’on the work of the Shekinah Mission, Plymouth.

Laura gave a most interesting insight into the Mission which helps homeless and vulnerable people who need vital assistance. The Mission has a drop-in centre in Plymouth for the homeless and otherwise socially excluded or vulnerable people, providing a learning programme, access to an employment training programme as well as showers, clothing and food.

They target homeless people, people who are isolated, lonely or have addiction problems and ex-offenders, helping them back into society. They also provide soup kitchens in the City. The Mission is supported by many well-known companies who help with employment and they have two charity shops in Plymouth where donations of clothing and bedding are always needed. We all learned so much more about the work of the Shekinah Mission from Laura’s very informative talk.

Sue Hale, Sylvia White and Sheila Crook will be attending the Spring Countdown Meeting to be held at the Hall for Cornwall on April 26. Rosemary requested donations of beads, brooches and scarves for the Royal Cornwall Show and Rosemary and Pat will be attending the 4 Corner Craft Workshops to be held in May. Members were given two copies of the new programme, one to keep and one to hand to a friend in order to encourage new members. The Craft Group which meets on Tuesday afternoons in St James Church Hall had great fun this week making felt rabbits with guidance from Lorraine England from Wilcove WI. The Group Tea will now be held on Wednesday May 11 in the Kingsand Community Hall. The Macmillan Walk will take place on April 20 at Mount Edgcumbe and will include lunch in the Canteen, Maker Heights. Sue has arranged trips to Caerhays Castle and Gardens, to Blacker Yarns and is finalising arrangements for our Birthday Dinner in November.

The next meeting entitled Cornish Bards and Traditions will be held on April 27 at 7.30 pm in St James Church Hall and visitors are always welcome.

The annual meeting was held in February and Rosemary welcomed and thanked Marilyn Legget for coming along as our Federation Adviser.

Rosemary reported that the Craft Group on Tuesday afternoons is going well. It was decided that the Group Meeting, which includes Crafthole, Maker with Rame, Wilcove and Torpoint WIs will be a

tea to celebrate the Queen’s Birthday and this will be held on Thursday May 12 at the Kingsand Community Hall. Members were invited to wear their ‘posh frocks’.

Entertainment will be provided by Maker & Rame Choir. Rosemary also asked for ideas for a speaker for the Group Meeting to be held in the Autumn.

Rosemary then read out the decisions which were accepted at the inauguration of the Torpoint WI 41 year ago and Sandra Hocking read the Financial Report for 2015.

In the absence of secretary Barbara Brimacombe, Secretary, due to illness, Rosemary read out the Annual Report for 2015 which covered the many successful activities which Torpoint WI have been involved with, including teas provided at the Carnival and the Lions Fair.

We now have 30 members and a new Craft Group was formed in April which is proving very successful. We went on many very popular outings and took part in the Christmas Tree Festival at St James Church, our tree theme being ‘WI - Stars for 100 years’ and were delighted to be awarded 3rd place. Our group continues to be involved in many Torpoint Town activities to promote the WI.

MAKER WITH RAME

This month it was the dreaded annual meeting but nonetheless it was a very pleasant afternoon. Sarah reported on the visit to the Falmouth Maritime Museum, an outing arranged by the Cornwall Federation of the WI to see the Viking Exibition, have lunch and have a talk about the Vikings. Easy parking, perfect weather and good company - a lovely day out.

Carole was voted President again and the Committee agreed to stay. Local Adviser, Pat Paxton, oversaw the annual meeting and said she was impressed by the amount of things we took part in to say nothing of the wonderful location of the Institute.

After the business proceedings, we each showed and spoke about a piece of jewellery which was special to us. Out came rings, chains and pendants with really interesting and moving stories.

Then we had tea, served and provided by Sarah and Sue P with carrot cake and lemon drizzle - a great treat.

Last month our speaker was Margaret Edwards. We thought she would demonstrate the art of painting on silk. But no. It was us that did the painting! Margaret had prepared white silk squares on which she had drawn the outlines of butterflies in gold and silver for us to fill in. A huge selection of dyes were at our disposal and we painted out own butterflies which was surprisingly good fun.

Our next meeting is on April 15. Our speaker will be Claire Wallerstein who will talk about Marine Conservation. As always our meetings are open to visitors and we would love to have you join us.

Cast your cares upon Him...

What things are important in your life? Is it the fact that you have a good job or a nice house or a decent car or money in the bank or food in the larder or have had a good education or a nice family etc. etc?

What worries you most? Is it the bills, or being too busy, or not doing enough, or what colour shall we paint the kitchen, or when was the car last serviced, or where shall we live, or an untidy house, or where shall we go on holiday, or relationships within the family etc. etc?

We all deem different things to be important, and we all have different worries, but at the end of the day it’s just life itself that is important – not things.

When severe illness or death comes into your life then the things that were up until a couple of hours ago major problems, are now somehow far less important and relevant.

I hear this time and time again when visiting a family that are devastated by a tragedy that

has come out of the blue and don’t know where to turn, or who to speak to. It’s at that point I remind them about God’s peace, because God’s peace is different from the world’s peace.

It is not found in just positive thinking, or absence of conflict, or sitting in a grassy meadow on a sunny day miles away from anywhere. It comes from knowing that God is in control.

It’s good to remember that prayer connects you with God, and as a result you are connected to his peace. So whatever you are worrying about, try sharing it with God, and let him help you to deal with it.

“The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Philippians 4:6-7

Remembering Elvis March was an eventful month for Maker with Rame Pensioners’ Voice. Firstly the monthly meeting on the March 10, followed by the Easter Party on the 12th and then the Spring Break on the 14th.

More than 35 members and friends were welcomed to our normal monthly meeting which was opened as usual by our chairman, Steve Michael, with the usual hymn and prayer. He then asked for a brief silence in tribute to Norman Channon, who died recently. Norman will be sorely missed as he was a kind and friendly man, and a born helper.

The speaker was an old friend Jack Asquith. He brought with him several CDs by his subject - Elvis Presley - and pointed out that in Elvis’s day the CD format wasn’t available, but these had been edited from various recordings after his death.

Elvis was born 81 years ago (in 1935) of a Cherokee mother and a French father, Vernon, who spent much of his life in jail.

Jack revealed that Elvis was bullied at school, earned a little pocket money running errands for black and white communities, saved up and bought himself, not a bicycle, but a guitar. Music was his passion and he soon became known as the white boy who sang like a black. Unfortunately he fell into the hands of an unscrupulous agent Tom Baker, who exploited the youngster to feed his gambling habit.

He conned 51% from the earnings, and it is reckoned that he gambled away 1.5 million dollars.

Meanwhile Elvis didn’t dodge the call-up, but served to be a credit to his country and rising to be Sergeant in the

Pensioners Voice army, at the same time making seven recordings (one of them Love Me Tender).

When he was discharged from the army, Baker committed him to an extraordinary heavy work-load, part of which was two performances a night in Las Vegas, resulting in the singer taking pills to help him sleep and yet more pills to help him wake up, so he gradually became drug dependent.

When he left the army he married Priscilla, and then in 1975 their daughter, Lisa-Marie was born. In April 1976 the last single ‘Blue Jump Suit’ was released before he died on August 16 his heart worn out by overwork and drugs.

He was only 42 when he died, but during his short life he made 31 films plus two documentaries, recorded 780 songs, and in 1975 it was estimated that his televised concert was watched by 1.5 billion people.

Even into these next generations his fame continues with 150 million people having visited Graceland. As his estate is no longer in the clutches of Baker, it is now being run by his daughter Lisa-Marie.

Jack illustrated his talk with

recordings to remind us of the sounds and the voices of the era, setting many old feet tapping in time with the music. He ended with answering a few questions from his interested audience and was thanked by the chairman.

Spring came to the Kingsand Hall on Saturday evening March 12, as the Committee had used bright yellow to decorate the tables together with posies of spring flowers for the Pensioners’ Easter party where excellent fish and chips were provided by A’Hoy with the delicious dessert served by Mrs Pam Michael.

The music was played as usual by Mr Brimble, and a noisy, happy, sing-a-long, dance-a-long evening was enjoyed by all.

Congratulations to all the brave souls who entered the Easter Bonnet Parade, where a high standard presented a difficult task for the judges. The prizes were ultimately presented to Thelma Gardner and Jack Sinden.

At the close of the evening, Auld Lang Syne was sung and Mr Michael and his committee were thanked for an exceptionally happy and successful evening.
