Traffic calming on Trevone Road

Those observant ones among you will have noticed the new 'SLOW' signs in the village. Richard Griffiths, representing TaWRA and Tony Doherty representing PATCAG met with Peter Darrock from the Highways Services Dept of Cornwall Council to discuss the installation of additional road signage in an effort to curb the long-running problem of speeding and consequent hazards to pedestrians on Trevone Road, particularly on the section from Windmill down to the Village Hall. The traffic trio duly inspected various locations on this section of road and marked agreed locations for a variety of signs. Painting of the two ‘SLOW’ signs has now been done, with locations just before Southway looking downhill, and just after the Village Hall looking uphill. There will also be a number of additional roadside signs on posts on this section of road including two appropriate hazard signs at each end, and some small 30 mph-limit repeater discs. Mr Darrock was sympathetic to the idea that even 30 mph might be too high on Trevone Road given its narrowness and lack of pavement.
NB Regarding speeds on Trevone Road, please take things slowly and set a good example to those people - especially commercial vehicles - who feel the need to race in or out of the village at top speed and who treat the speed limit as something of a joke.

Country pleasures in Trevone

Those of you who might be puzzled by the strange brown rectangles on the fields sweeping up across the other side of the valley from Trevone Road might be intrigued to learn that on October 24th Trevone - Porthmissen to be precise - was the site for the Wadebridge and District 36th Annual Ploughing Contest. John Bullingham managed to get some great shots of the event and once again they remind us how privileged we are to live here surrounded by idyllic countryside. Enjoy!

Happy Birthday Ray!

Ray Mills at the Well Parc Hotel, Trevone, is celebrating his 65th birthday on Halloween. Don't forget to pop in to the Well Parc to give him the bumps - or just to say happy birthday.

Trevone Trick or Treating

Saturday is Halloween and due to the popularity of the Village Halloween Fun, the numbers last year grew considerably. This year the children are being split into three groups so that they can cover different areas of the village. This means that each household wishing to participate will be visited by only about 20 children. Halloween is not for everyone, so if you would like to be called on by the children, please let Ros Roberts know (520-469). Many people are displaying the pumpkin poster here in their window to let the children know it is OK to knock the door.
Happy Halloween everyone!

Happy Birthday Kay!

Huge congratulations to Kay Guy, Stan Burgess's mother-in-law, on the fabulous achievement of reaching 99! We had a great party in the village hall thanks to Pat Hall and her team of helpers. Kay was on excellent form as ever, and, apparently, loves surprises, so this surprise tea party was a great way to hold the dress rehearsal for next year! Kay is an inspiration to us all and could probably beat quite a few of us in a daily brisk walk to the village store.
Best wishes to Kay from everyone in the village.

END OF SUMMER BEACH DOG BAN

Spike is thrilled that October has finally come round again and sent us this photo to show how happy he is to be back on the beach. His writing is quite neat - for a dog....
