Whats up and whats on in the villages of Mount and Warleggan, Cornwall
Sorry folks – tonight’s skittles evening is to be POSTPONED – new date to be announced. Pls help get the word out to any others you know who might have been planning to come. Apologies for any inconvenience caused – more info
The parish lunch on Wednesday is still going ahead ~ remember, today’s the deadline for booking your place – more info
The Big Do is now behind us – it was a great success, everyone seemed to have had a good time, the sun shone brightly (‘though some of us might have preferred the thermostat had been set a touch lower!), and it was great to see so many more activities there – and we raised over £1,000 a year for the hall, too. Thanks to everyone who helped make it go so well, including, of course, everyone who joined us on the day. Check out the over 140 photos on the Warleggan website.
Four oak tree saplings now sit proudly in the new graveyard and parking area next to St Bartholomew Church, planted on Monday in memory of the four from the parish who were lost in the First World War – see photos.
So what’s coming up? Well, the next few days we will have…
Friday 8 August:
~ Village Greens, 9am-2pm at the hall, come for your fresh produce, jams and other goodies, a friendly cup of tea or coffee, or why not try a cooked breakfast or a tasty mushroom soup for lunch ~ latest update
~ Sankey Evening, Mount Chapel, 7pm ~ info
Saturday 9 August:
~ Duck Race & BBQ, Pantersbridge (the bridge between Mount and St Neot). Launch of ducks at 4pm. Enjoy a stroll from the bridge to the weir to finish with a BBQ. Children can run, cycle or skate.

Sunday 10 August:

Arrive by 10.30 at Jubilee Hall – more info
Monday 11 August:
~ Hall Management Meeting, where one of the main items will be to review this year’s Big Do, 7.30pm at the Hall ~ all welcome ~ we had a similar review after last year’s Big Do, and that’s why this year’s was better. So hopefully you can help us make next year’s better still ~ more info
You may have seen the posters for it, produced by children at Cardinham School…
You may have read about in the papers….
Yes, the Big Do in the Field, Warleggan’s small and friendly annual fete, is this coming Saturday, 26 July, on the field opposite the Jubilee Hall in Mount. There’ll be more happening than previous years – so come along! The weather looks encouraging too.
Free entry and free parking, of course.
Events to be held on the day include: Children’s Fancy Dress competition, Children’s Races, a Dog Display, Family Dog Show (see schedule of classes) and Tug of War, and it looks like we may have one or two extra events!
We’ll have our ever popular barbecue tent (a meat one and a vegetarian one), a bar, cream teas, ice creams, cake stall, bouncy castle, bottle stall, tombola, guess the weight, face-painting, candy floss, hoopla… – or you might like to try your hand at Smite, Petanque, or Welly Wanging! We also hope to have a play area for the tiny ones, and one or two (maybe more??) classic cars on display.
There’ll also be some car boots there – to book a £5 pitch, call Jasmina on 01208 821223, who can also be contacted for any other information or if you’d like to help out at our Big Do.
Meanwhile, we’ll have the ever popular Annual Vegetable, Flower and Handicraft Show in the hall opposite – see schedule of classes and entry form.
For all the latest info – see our ‘BigDo’ page on the Warleggan website – www.warleggan.net/bigdo2014
Chairs and tables: folk like to sit down and enjoy their burger or cream tea in comfort – so, if you’re happy to lend an outside table or two and/or some chairs, please bring them along on the morning. You might want to label them underneath, in case we get similar-looking ones. If you need help with transporting them to the field and back, contact John Hammond on 821433

Remember also our regular events:
We’ve got a lot on this coming week at the Warleggan Jubilee Hall in Mount:
Firstly, the ‘What do you want?’ survey: A big thanks to all of you who have already filled it in; it’s really appreciated. If you haven’t yet done so, the good news is that the deadline is extended by a week. It’ll only take a minute or two to fill, and will help us know which activities and clubs there may be a good amount of interest in. So do please have your say, even if it’s simply to say you aren’t interested!
The survey is open to everyone living in or near the parish, as well as all hall users and visitors from neighbouring parishes. See here for more information, and to download the form.
The deadline is now Friday 28 March: so, if you didn’t yet get round to handing in your completed survey form, do it now and hand it to a hall committee member, or you can drop it off in the box in the hall when you come to any of the following upcoming events over the coming seven days…
Wednesday 26 March:
Friday 28 March:
Finally, don’t forget that the ‘new year’ for the ever popular 100 Club is starting next month, so now is the time to take out a subscription – it’s just £12 a year, and each month you’ll have the chance to win cash prizes – see full details
A quick reminder of what’s on in Warleggan:
Lunch Club, 12.30pm this coming Tuesday 28 January – main course, desserts and tea/coffee at £4 a head – hopefully you have already booked, but if you haven’t yet, Gill is willing to accommodate a few more – just let her know 01208 821494 (or email this website and we’ll pass on the message) as soon as possible, but no later than 1pm Monday please.
Skittles Evening is coming up next month (Friday 21 February) – Whether or not you came last time (see photos), you’ll surely want to book your place with Jasmina (01208 821223), or through email. Like last time, we’ll do it with teams of four; there’ll be refreshments and we aim to have a licensed bar for the evening.
>>> and I (Chris) am wondering if people might like a quiet pre-Skittles-Evening Skittles Bash, to hone talents and fine-tune the arm action. If we have a reasonable number of people interested (not too many, not too few), we could set up the alley one Friday evening – we’d need to cover cost of hall and skittle hire between us, so we’d probably each need to chip in about £1 or £2 (e.g. if we get 12 of us were there, £1.50 would cover the charges). We can bring our own refreshments (thermoses or bottles), and agree how we play once we get there – no need to form teams first. How about this coming Friday 31 January from 7pm? If you might be interested, let me know (01208 821409 or email me) – who knows, it could evolve into something regular?
And finally: just wondering if anyone has ideas for new clubs or new events that could be held in the Hall? I’m thinking of drafting a short survey, asking people (amongst other things) to state their preferences on a list of possible events. If you have an idea that you’d like to see included on the list, whether it’s a beetle drive, a cookery club or the production of Warleggan’s own pantomine – whatever – then let me know (01208 821409 or email me) and I can add it to the list of potential events to choose from.
Hi folks – a quick reminder – we’ve got a very ‘different’ pub quiz tomorrow night (Saturday 11 January) at the Jubilee Hall, starting 7pm….
“It’s your round” ~ A Pub Quiz with a Cabaret twist! is being presented by ‘Scary Little Girls’ and is a Carn to Cove production – more details. Lots of tickets have already been sold online; if you want to go and haven’t yet bought or reserved a place, get in touch with Liz 01208 821551 asap; or email this website and we’ll forward the message.
And coming up…
The next lunch club is on Tuesday 28 January; it’s a great deal, at £4 per person, two course meal with tea/coffee to follow – seats must be booked in advance – more info.
With the next Skittles evening approaching (just six weeks’ time – info), why not get some practice in first? You’re welcome to hire the hall and the skittles equipment for an evening (see info: hall hire and equipment hire )
Village Greens re-opens this coming Friday, 17 January. It seems some over-loyal regulars tried to go today but found a locked door! Better luck next week!!! – more info
