Simple Pleasures - getting the village talking

In addition to news of village events and other information, the Newsletter is now running a series of interviews with residents on the theme of 'Simple Pleasures' - what makes life special in Trevone.

This includes 60 different topics. The Cornish Guardian has taken this up and is going to report on TaWRA’s initiative shortly as part of the BBC's 'Love Where You Live' campaign.  The aim of this is to encourage the village to be more socially inclusive.

As a spin-off from the ‘simple pleasures’ interviews, residents are now offering to pool their knowledge and passions with one another, e.g. bird watching walks, gardening skills, cookery, etc. This pooling of skills is vital to keep the village alive and kicking, even more so now that the Post Office has gone as it was a central meeting place, especially for the elderly.  The Newsletter is also a forum for people wanting to do things for the village such as tidying the hedgerows, planting bulbs etc.

Lifeguards now open for business on Trevone beach…

Oli and Barch opened the hut today and braved the wind and rain to flag the beach for the first day of the season. Remember to swim between the flags at all times and say hi when you next go down.

Bird watching walk in Trevone

Come to the Madrips Cafe car park at 9.30 am on Tuesday 16th June where Tricia Davies is taking a group of us along the cliffs to do some bird watching and hedgerow watching. Tricia is an enthusiastic amateur and would love to share her own knowledge of bird life with those of us who know nothing. She would also like to learn something new from those of you who know more. If nothing else, we will all get to know one another better and hopefully learn something about the many wonderful birds that we have the privilege of seeing all around our village. Bring binoculars of course - and a snack if you think you may get hungry. It's an early start as apparently the birds go to sleep or to sea in the afternoon!

50 years of St Saviour's Church, Trevone

Trevone's Got (Artistic) Talent

A stunning exhibition of flowers, arts and crafts filled St Saviour's church this week to mark the 50th anniversary of the church's dedication. The theme of the exhibition was 'Seaside' and the enormous variety of paintings, photographs, sculptures, embroidery, patchwork and models on view proved that Trevone is a hotbed of creativity.
