Use it or lose it...

Well we are all familiar with the plight of the Village Store, but I came across an interesting statistic the other morning when I went for a paper and pastry...

Turkeys Sold at the Village Store in 2007 = 17

Turkeys sold at the Village Store in 2008 = 2

And one of them is mine!

A thoroughly Cornish Christmas...

Light up Trevone!

Make a special effort to make our village twinkle. If you have some lights which are tasteful and can be put in a prominent position, please help us to make the village come alive this Christmas.

Replacement bench

The bench by the lifeguard hut is going to be replaced by Padstow Town Council with kind permission of the Prideaux-Brunes.

Relocation of the bus stop

Following representations by TaWRA to Padstow Town Council at the suggestion of a local resident, the Council has agreed with the Police and the County Council that (subject to the agreement of the utility companies) the Windmill bus shelter will be moved. The Newquay to Padstow (556 service) bus shelter will be round the corner from its present site in Windmill so that those waiting for the bus are clearly visible to the driver. Also, on the other side of the road, we have requested consideration be given to a better and safer pulling-in and stopping place. If you have a problem please contact Western Greyhound. 01637 871 871.

Christmas shopping taxi-bus

Dave Cowling has kindly offered to do some shopping trips to Truro or Plymouth in his taxi. For details, ring: 520-370 or his mobile: 07970-625-878 if you would like to share a taxi with others. It’s fun to do it in company rather than trudging round alone. Six people minimum. He will also do similar trips to Padstow.

Christmas meal in the Village Hall

This year it will be held on 13^th December. Look out for posters with details on how to book your place throughout the village.

Christmas Carols

A group (including children of all ages) will sing carols around the village.

If you want to join the singers, meet at the Well Parc at 6.30. There is also a Christmas Party from 8.30pm.
