In past times, people from Cornwall have travelled and settled in places all over the world.

Church Matters, July 2015
At the time of writing the news is just breaking of the further bail out for Greece from the European Union. The situation in Greece seems somewhat unbelievable, with people unable to withdraw their cash from banks, and banks themselves mostly remaining closed.

THE BIG PAINTING CHALLENGE – THE REAL STORY
Anthea Lay, one of our members, gave us a very interesting talk on her experiences as a contestant on the BBC art show. This was not Anthea’s first foray into art competitions, as she had been a regular contributor to the BBC’s Sketch Club programme in 1959. She and her family were delighted to see her efforts on their back & white TV.

From our Cornwall Councillor, July 2015
I am going to have to start with a little grumble this month, which is litter at the side of the road. It is bad for wildlife and it looks terrible. We are all paying for this mess to be cleared up and there is really no need. Maybe it is because this is a beautiful time of year with all the signs of Spring and Summer but it does seem such a shame that a very few people can’t appreciate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful part of the country and so respect it. Please take your rubbish home with you. I’m sure most of you already do.

I am writing this article to explain what agricultural goings-on are happening here at Church Park, when, and why.
