TV switchover

The Community Police have asked us to remind everyone that the digital switchover will take place on August 12th. There is a Switchover Help Scheme for the most vulnerable people in the community and is available to anyone who is over 75, disabled, or in a care home. Many of these people will not actually know what to do, so if you know of anyone who needs help, get them to call (free) on 0800 40 85 900 or help them yourself by reading www.helpscheme.co.uk In particular the Community Officers want to make sure that people such as the recently bereaved, victims of crime or people who are living alone are given maximum assistance.
In addition, if you are very technically adroit and have technophobe pals who are experiencing difficulties re-tuning their televisions, please be generous with your expertise.

Natalie's Challenge

Pirate FM are involved in a ‘Cash Mountain Challenge’ to raise much-needed funds for a special children's hospice in Cornwall. Trevone’s Natalie Olivey is one of three finalists who have been challenged to raise as much money as they can by the 1st Aug 09. The winner receives a prize of a family holiday to the Rocky Mountains, but the main winner will be the Precious Lives Appeal which helps terminally ill children and their families. If you want to support Natalie, with a donation, go to the following link: http://www.justgiving.com/cashnatalie/ or call at Trevone Village Store.
Natalie is also looking for local products and produce to sell at the Pirate FM garden party on Sat 25th July at the Wadebridge show ground, where she has a stall. Knitted items, home-made cards, jams, preserves or home-grown vegetables and plants to sell on the stall will be most gratefully received. As part of Natalie’s fund-raising events, there is also a Bush Tucker Trial on the evening of 18th July at Newquay Zoo with James Martin, Pirate FM DJ and Jo Olivey plus a line-dancing evening and sausage sizzle at the Well Parc on the evening of the 25th July.

Photograph of the Week

The weather and the quality of the light has been amazing during the past weeks in the village. Lots of us have been out snapping the glorious yellow fields (although they have sent the hay fever sufferers scurrying indoors). Here are two photos taken recently, one by me showing the evening light from Trevistas looking across to Padstow Farm Shop, and one by John Bullingham with the Round Hole in the distance. Click on each one to show a full-screen version. Please send me any of your Trevone pictures from now on and you can share them with everyone who reads this blog (jane@myles5700.fsnet.co.uk). We can add them all to a Trevone photo gallery on the blog.
