"Down your Way"

Dean Evans was welcomed and thanked by the Chairman at our November meeting.

Of the 71 public buildings sponsored over a period of 14 years, 20 of which are in Cornwall, in the centre of Blackwater is the recently refurbished reading room, opened originally in 1890 by John Passmore Edwards (1823-1911), the first of many donations to public life by this renowned Cornishman, where else but in his home village.  

Dean estimated that in todays money, his contributions - recognised in Court papers as well as by English Prime Ministers of the day - totalled around £200 million.

Only a dozen or so 2019 Village Calendars remain from Derek, Pat and Muriel served refreshments at the close, members were thanked for completing their menu selection for our January luncheon.

Our speaker on Fri 25th January will be Clive Benney of St Agnes, his subject will be: Sammy Solway, the miner with a camera.

Visitors will be made very welcome at a charge of £1.00 admission.   The village hall has a large car park and disabled access.  

John Jackett – Chairman,
