A close call with carbon monoxide

Some of our Mount residents (Liz Parr and family) had a close call with carbon monoxide poisoning in their house from their wood-burning stove. Their dog and hamster died, but the family came out OK.  To cut a long story short, a fire engine came to assess the CO levels, and found them dangerously high – and they’ve offered to be present at the hall when Village Greens is next open, to help raise awareness on this issue.  So  – come along to Village Greens this Friday – not only for teas and fresh produce, but a necessary wake-up call.  Have you got a carbon monoxide detector?  and are the batteries OK?

The fire brigade will be at Village Greens this Friday (9 November) from 10 til 12 –  they’ll bring plenty of info, leaflets etc., and you are welcome to discuss your concerns

Some words of wisdom from Liz’s Facebook page:
 
well it goes like this…..we had the dog and a hamster die within 2 days… some would say unlucky, well that’s what we though until we discovered the truth………
co poisoning………. we have been very lucky. we were told by the fire crew that came out to us and then by the doctors at the hospital that we have had a lucky escape.. the doctors told us that 1 maybe 2 nights more with our fire lite would have been all it took…..
we have a wood burner as our form of heating and in our ignorance and I suspect many others you can get c o poisoning from these as well.
our flue needs replacing as it was leaking the co gasses in high levels.. enough to kill….
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look around your homes… have you got co detectors because I bet you have smoke detectors.. go to your nearest hardware store and get one. go now. I am… it can and will SAVE YOUR LIFE……
if you are worried about or think you may have co in your home call the fire brigade and they will come and test for you….

Games evening Friday and more…

In case you haven’t checked out the Warleggan website* recently, here’s what’s happening…

  • This Friday 18th Oct, the day after tomorrow, we’re having our TableTop Games evening at the hall, starting 7.30pm.  Free entry. Come along and play a few games – and if you have games you’d like to bring along, then please do!  Come and play, or come and watch. There’ll be refreshments, with a licensed bar, hot pasties, and snacks. Plus a raffle.  It’ll be a great relaxing fun evening, a chance to show off your skills, or develop new ones.  Amongst the games we hope to have:  Dominoes, Chess, Drafts, Backgammon, Cards, Othello (or ‘Reversi’), Darts, Cluedo, Bingo, Tri-ominoes, Poker, Jenga,  Connect 4, Kerplunk, Card-Monopoly ...  Bring along your games (including any of the above), or other ones  – Does anyone have table football, for instance?
  • Then, next Wednesday 23 Oct, we have the  History Club Talk on the Pentewan Valley Railway (The Tea Treat Train) by Rob Evans, Jubilee Hall, 7.30pm – if you’re not a member yet, come along anyway – the more the merrier.
  • Some of us may be joining the Farnworth family for Roger’s Day on Sunday 27th October – see details
  • The next Lunch will be on Tuesday 26th November –  all seats must be booked in advance;  £4 a head, two courses – call Jasmina on 01208 821223, or Gill on 821494.
  • Hall hire – remember, anyone is welcome to hire the hall anytime – just check out the hall hire pages on the website.
  • Why not organise a quiet skittles evening for you and your friends (the skittles set is now kept in the hall, and is available for use  –  £10 plus standard hall hire charge)  –  or why not hold your birthday party there?
  • And we’ve got a great kitchen, so if you want to cook a meal for your friends, or get someone in to do it, then get in touch.  If you do it before the end of the month, it’ll be just £5 on top of the hall hire charge, which doesn’t even cover the likely electricity charges  –  be advised though that from 1st November, the charge for use of the full kitchen will be £10 for regular users, and £20 for occasional users, still great value.
  • And Christmas is coming soon  – book now if you’d like to hold a party at the Jubilee Hall.
  • Oh, and remember to keep New Year’s Eve free, as we shall be bringing the new year in at the hall with a Ceilidh – with refreshments, and we’ll be applying for a licensed bar to stay open til late.

The Big Do to be done – this Saturday

Yes, the Big Do in the Field is fast approaching – tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon, 27 July.  Across the parish,  rhubarbs are being inspected, lettuces titivated over, and runner beans talked to.  Someone out there is practising the Madeira cake recipe for the 17th time. Photos will be flying out of printers, and anxious youngsters will be adding their finishing touches to the animals they are making from vegetables – now where does that parsnip go?

It should be a good year, not just for the Annual Veg/Flower/Handicraft show to be held in the hall, but the Big Do in the Field  promises, too, to be lots of fun:

  • We’ve got the children’s fancy dress contest, the dog display, the dog show and the children’s games (and maybe something for adults too, I hear!)
  • And then we have the stalls, cream teas, hot and cold food, BBQ, beer, wine and non-alcoholic drinks, ice-cream, bouncy castle, games, the raffle, and who knows what else?

A few reminders:

  1. Please bring entries for the Veg/Flower/Handicraft show to the Jubilee Hall latest by 10am Saturday  – download entry form.
  2. If you’re bringing a cake for the cake stall, that’s great – please suggest a price for it with a label if possible.
  3. Children, please make sure your parents (and you)  take care when crossing the road between hall and field;  and drivers, please take care too.

See you there!

PS – different subject, but if you might like a budded copy of Rev. Densham’s cooking-apple tree, and thereby help conserve these unique species (Densham’s Delight or Warleggan), then let Cathy know latest by 31st July –  more info

Coming up in Warleggan

The days are getting longer and brighter – time to get out!  Here are some ideas…

  • The History Club is heading off to Pentewan this Wednesday 22 May – there’ll be a walk around the village and old port, guided by knowledgeable local man Rob Evans.  We’ve been asked to get there by 6pm prompt, and it’ll take more than half an hour to get there  –  some of us might want to stay back for some refreshments at the local  afterwards?  Hopefully we can share transport?  – see history club page for more info
  • Music is coming to Warleggan on 31 May and 6 June –  You know how buses come two at a time, and then there’s nothing for ages?  Well, we’ve got two real treats coming up within days of each other, and then nothing til December.  These two performances are supported by Carn to Cove, and there is already quite some interest  being shown from outside the parish, so don’t leave it too late to book your tickets:
    • ‘Bach Pilgrimage’ –  a violin recital in Warleggan’s St Batholomew’s Church on Friday 31st May 2013, 7.30pm  –  Thomas Bowes will play Bach’s Six Sonatas and Partitas, and there will be readings of poems too.  Thomas Bowes is an accomplished player, and has led many of the UK’s finest orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra, Philharmonia,  London Sinfonietta, and the  BBC Symphony Orchestra – see our C2C page for more info and ticket info
    • “Hoagy, Hornpipes, Handel & Hoedown” with musicians/entertainers Mayor & James performing a range of songs and more, mixed with a ‘unique brand of off-beat humour’ –  anything from a ballad version of the Queen of Sheba, to Flanders and Swann –  will be at Jubilee Hall on Thursday 6th June 2013, 7.30pm – see our C2C page for more info and ticket info
  • And finally a date for your diary:  the Big Do will be on Saturday 27th July, and we’ve already got some info about it up on our new ‘Big Do 2013’ webpage, including schedule of classes for the Annual Vegetable, Flower and Handicraft Show –  find out more about the Big Do 2013

Belated Happy Easter!

OK, it looks like I have just missed Easter by minutes, but thought better to send this out now before the holiday period is completely over!

So what’s in the news for Warleggan?

  • First and foremost, a belated Happy Easter!!
  • Finally, if you haven’t yet subscribed for the coming year, now is the time to invest £12 in the Jubilee Hall’s 100 Club, giving you the chance of winning up to £30 in any of the monthly draws (or even £50 if you strike it lucky in the Christmas draw) – and all the time you’ll know you’re helping us keep the Hall going, and keeping our hire-out rates amazingly low.  It’s worth thinking about!

Keep warm and keep smiling

Chris
