On Tuesday 15th November four of us from St Sampson’s joined a Save the Parish event at The Houses of Parliament. Not quite a Trelawny uprising, but we did our bit! One hundred parishioners and clergy from around the country and MPs and Lords were in attendance. The speakers did a great job outlining the problems parishes are facing, the finances behind the scenes, and just how parliament can help change the tide.

South Hill Climate Change Action Group
The next meeting of the group will be at 7.30pm on Tuesday 8th November at
the Parish Hall, Golberdon.
The purpose of the meeting is to write a Climate Action Plan for our parish.
We have plenty of ideas of what could be done.
Now is the time to turn those ideas into a practical plan with clear targets and timescales.
All are welcome.
