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…
