ST MABYN GARDEN CLUB
“Hands off our Schools” Coffee Morning 8
A huge thank you to all those who supported our coffee morning on the 14th November.
A magnificent £326.35 was raised. Thank you to Jo, Petra, Jane & Julie who baked, manned the
Bring & Buy, served teas, washed up etc. Congratulations to Angela Hocking who won the limited
edition picture kindly donated by Jane King. The weather could have been kinder to us, but despite
this we had a pretty good turnout. Thanks again everyone. Sue & John Dibble
ST TUDY PARISH COUNCIL The full Parish Council met on Wednesday 28th October. Cornwall Councillor Cllr Jeremy Rowe and Ms Sara Simms, Cornwall Council local network manager, also attended. Ms Simms gave a short report on the network and its functions. There was discussion on the St Tudy/ St Mabyn schools situation. It was unlikely that there would be a new school at Longstone because of Highways objections. Cllr Rowe stated
that where a village loses its school, the
village shop and pub are adversely affected. A study on a new school was being made, to be sited
in St Mabyn, not at St Tudy. After Cllr Rowe left, discussion on the school continued. On the
instructions given at the previous Council Meeting, the Parish Clerk had written to the St Tudy
Head Teacher with copies to MP Dan Rogerson, Cllr Rowe, the Diocesan Board of Schools and
Cornwall Council expressing St Tudy Council views. Another letter had been drafted addressed to
the Diocesan Director of Education agreeing that here had been much misinformation talked about
in the village and some cases of intimidation and aggression directed towards members of the
school governing body. Our Council wants a school in the heart of St Tudy.
Copies of
relevant correspondence to date in this matter may be seen on the St
Tudy website ww.sttudy.org.uk/School/StT&StM.htm . There were no
planning applications outstanding at the date of the meeting.St Tudy Parish Council meetings are held in the Village Hall at 7pm on the last Wednesday of each month except in the months of August and December. Members of the public are always welcome to attend, to raise matters of concern at the beginning of the meeting or to stay for interest's sake. The Chairman and members of the Parish Council take this opportunity to wish all villagers a Happy Christmas and hope for a peaceful and prosperous New Year. MEv Shelley
W I NEWS
We thank Lilian once again for organising our trip to the Theatre Royal to see Aled Jones in White Christmas. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Our New Year Dinner is on 16th January at Trethorne, when we will be joined by the Short Mat Bowlers and anyone who would like to join us. Please book with Lilian.
Our December members evening is Friday 11th – we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

RETIREMENT PARTY
PUPILS, parents and other well-wishers, who have known a popular local headteacher are invited to a retirement party celebrating her 13 years of service. Mrs Daphne Puttock has led St Mabyn Church of England Primary School for more than a decade; last December she gave the year’s notice required of head teachers. Parents, staff and governors of St Mabyn School are organising a leaving party to be held at Lanarth Hotel at St Kew Highway on Thursday, 17th December at 7.30pm. “Mrs Puttock asked us not to do anything formal,” said Anne-Marie Irons, a parent, who has headed up the school’s Home School Association (HSA) for several years. “It’s going to be an informal buffet party with a festive holiday theme. I know that Mrs Puttock would be happy to see some of her previous students and their families, so we’d like to encourage them all please to come.” Guests are requested to bring some party food to contribute to the buffet: pasties, dips, mince pies, cheese and grapes, or anything tasty and seasonal. Jane McDonald, present chair of the HSA, said: “We hope that even if people can’t come, that they will spread the word among past parents and students. This event is completely separate from the events surrounding the federation of St Mabyn and St Tudy schools; it’s a straightforward retirement party to mark the years that Mrs Puttock has spent as our headteacher.” If you have any questions, contact HSA secretary Gillian Molesworth on 01208 841453; people are welcome just to show up on the night. Lanarth Hotel and Caravan Park PL30 3EE is off the A39 between the St Mabyn turning and St Kew Highway. Their number is 01208 841 215.
CAROL SINGING AROUND ST TUDY
Once again we invite you to join us for the annual Carol Singing in aid of the Macmillan Hospice Care (weather permitting). If you would like the singers to visit you please ring me on 851253. Those wishing to join us will meet at the bus stop at 6.30pm on any designated evening. Children are most welcome. Experience the real meaning of Christmas!
The dates and venues are as follows: Sunday 20th December Wetherham Lane, Redvale and Tremeer Lane. Monday 21st December Hengar Lane and Bodinnick. Tuesday 22nd December Wadebridge Road and Tremeer House. Thursday 24th December Church Town. BRIAN BUNCE

CAMHAYLE THEATRE CLUB OF WADEBRIDGE PRESENTS…
Following on from a very successful summer season of Betjeman Poetry and other activities, I am now extremely pleased to announce the forthcoming performances of “Allo! Allo!”. The cast have had a lot of fun in rehearsals and are now busy adding the final touches ready to present the well-known characters to Wadebridge.
So, if you fancy a night out that’s full of laughter and a flavour of France then join us at the Town Hall on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, 3rd, 4th, 5th December at 7.30pm. All seats cost £6 and are on sale at One Step Ahead. There will be a raffle each night with some ooh-la-la goodies so get tickets early as seats will not be numbered and you won’t want to miss out on being transported to Rene’s café, ready for the fun.
Another date some of you might be interested in is Wednesday 9th December at 7.30pm in the Betjeman Centre when there will be reading and casting of the one-act play for our entry into the Cornwall Drama Association Festival next year. Our regular play reading evenings have proved to be very popular and a chance to enjoy a wide variety of plays. If anyone is interested in finding out more about 9th December then please do ring Janet on 01208 76962.
Camhayle is a very active, friendly theatre group with a wide range of social activities. We are always pleased to welcome new members.
ST TUDY VILLAGE HALL CHRISTMAS FAIR The Fair will be held on Saturday 5th December starting at the Christmas Tree at 5-30pm. Follow Father Christmas, arriving at the Village Hall at 6pm. Come and enjoy the festivities - Christmas

Nancy Arthorpe de Lacy Williams
Nancy died very peacefully at Windmill Court Nursing Home on Saturday 10th October aged 95. She loved living in Glebe Parc and had made so many friends in Cornwall since moving here from Lincolnshire in 1996. She often said it was the best thing she’d ever done. We are very grateful to Pastor Brian Parkman for his care, to Ivy for playing the organ at her “celebration” at the Chapel and to Rev Ray Avent for his kind words about “A Windmill Girl in her 90’s!” Nancy would have loved it – and her “party” afterwards. Thank you, everyone, especially her friends at St Tudy Methodist Church, for your kindness and thoughtfulness to her and to us. We know what a special little lady she was but we have been quite overwhelmed by all your messages, cards, flowers and love. This truly is a remarkable village. Jane and Bob

ST TUDY VILLAGE HALL The Hall Management Committee wish to thank all of those of you who worked to make the Bonfire Night Celebrations such a success. The Hall made a total profit of £564 after all the fireworks and other
expenses were paid.
Special mention must be made of the hard working bonfire fuel gatherers who collected £512, of the vendors of the hot soup and the pasties, of the fireworks team, of the first aiders and of the collectors of the gate money. The School and Pre-school kindly organized the prizes and the Guy Fawkes of which there were eight assorted entrants. It was difficult to judge but a lady guy won the competition. Well done, all of you. Margaret Shelley
HELP FOR HEROES
The talk given on 9th November by Major General PG Williams CMG OBE was a great success. An audience of well over 70 enjoyed a fascinating glimpse of life in East Germany seen through the eyes of one who spent many years there before the fall of the Berlin Wall twenty years ago.
Peter William’s commentary on the events as he experienced them will live long in the memory and be a reminder, if one is needed, that we have yet to arrive at a time where real security is more than an aspiration. The charity, Help for Heroes, will have benefited from this talk to the sum of £570, a clear reflection of the concern felt for those in the armed forces who have suffered and will yet suffer from their service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
* * * * * * * * * *
Thank you
David, Jane, Mary & Nina would like to thank everyone for all the many cards, letters, flowers and condolences we have received on the tragic death of our son Keith. These are a great comfort to us and will sustain us in the months to come. We are indeed privileged to live in this lovely village.

SERVICE OF NINE LESSONS AND CAROLS
On Sunday 27th December at 10am in St Tudy Church, an augmented choir will sing the traditional service in which there will be carols both for choir and congregation.
As you will note from other items in this Magazine, this will be the only service in the Benefice on that date and it is hoped that it will attract a substantial number who will wish to take part in this celebration of the reality, rather than the glossy, TV, and supermarket version of Christmas.
The day is more appropriate than some; in past years it was more usual to sing carols only on Christmas Day and during the twelve days thereafter until Epiphany on 6th January. As this note is being written we can already hear on radio and TC the Herald Angels at work six weeks early!!
EXTRACTS FROM (OTHER) CHURCH MAGAZINES
· Low Self Esteem Support Group will meet Thursday at 7pm. Please use the back door.
· The ladies of the Church have cast off clothing of every kind. They may be seen in the basement on Friday afternoon.
· Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
· Please place your donation in the envelope along with the deceased person you want remembered.

Allen Valley Singers
Suddenly the school half term was over plus Halloween and Bonfire Night. I wonder if Guido Fawkes, mercenary as he was, thought that we would still be remembered for a failed attempt at blowing up the Houses of Parliament, some 500 years later.) More pertinent to the choir, we are on the run towards Christmas and all the intervening concerts. Old favourites and new songs are being practised and programmes devised for the variety of concerts and venues.
Our next performances were scheduled for Marshgate W.I., on the 12th November and at Wyndhurst Orchard, Association, Wadebridge on 17th November. We look forward to our performances at Tintagel, in concert with the Orpheus Male Voice Choir on Sunday 8th December and to singing at St. Tudy Methodist Church on Thursday 17th December. We have also been invited to sing at Eden but at the time of writing, the date is still to be arranged. All of these concerts will be reported in the January publications.
Current details about these concerts can be obtained from our Chairman and Musical Director. We look forward to 2010 and another year of good music, fulfilling singing and friendship. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and all best wishes for a happy and peaceful New Year.
If you would like to join us, you are always welcome to contact our Musical Director, Janette Man. Telephone 01208 841784. Other queries to our Chairman Kym Hall. Telephone 01208 851723. Publicity Officer, Joyce Hargrave-Wright (Dr.) Telephone 01208 264004
St Tudy Garden Produce Association
It was a great shame that there was a clash of events on Monday 9th November when Mr Mike Rowe came to tell us about beekeeping: several members wanted to go to both talks, which were equally informative. Hopefully with the village calendar of events now up and running on the village web site this sort of conflict will not occur in future – if people bother to check first!
Anyway, a good number of members did choose bees and were rewarded with an entertaining evening learning about these amazing creatures as well as being able to purchase jars of Mr Rowe’s own local honey. There may well be a few more hives being set up around the area in the next few months, as people were very interested in keeping bees themselves.
Our next meeting is on Monday 14th December in the Village Hall, which will commence with Christmas refreshments prior to the usual “brief” AGM – Brian Lamerton always tries to limit this to as short a time as possible! Then we shall have a quiz set by Sue Dibble, followed by hot mince pies etc. Subs will be due that night, but don’t let that put you off what is always a good do! See you there by 7.30. Jane King

BIRD BOX COFFEE MORNING RESULT
We had two sample boxes on show and have been able to order further boxes from Mr Ian Borton at Nanstallon. Having raised the magnificent sum of over £230, there may be money to purchase a camcorder and also plant labels to identify those recorded in the churchyard. Thanks to everyone who helped to make this such a success. JENNY MUIR
FROM REVEREND MARGARET
Advent Sunday is the day when the Christian year begins. It is a sombre season when the colour of purple is used. It is a time to look back at the previous year, reflecting on its happenings and a time to look forward in hope and trust.
It has not been a particularly good year for some people and quite a few in our communities will be spending their first Christmas without their loved ones. Please remember them in your prayers.
Advent is of course a time of waiting and of preparation for the new birth at Christmas. It often gets lost in the run up to Christmas. One way of keeping it is to spend 5 minutes extra each day in prayer.
I have listed most of the Christmas services but I am sure lots more events will be happening so please look at the posters around the villages.
Please encourage the children to come to the Christmas services and on Christmas morning to bring a gift from Santa to show everyone.
There will be a Christmas Tree Festival on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th December in St Tudy Church. This will be a joint occasion with St Tudy School and the church. Please feel free to bring a decorated tree. Offers of refreshments and volunteers to act as stewards in the church will be greatly received. For further info contact Jo at the school.
31st December will be a bittersweet day this year as it is the day on which Mrs Daphne Puttock retires as Headteacher from St Mabyn School. Her vibrance, dynamism, enthusiasm and her wonderful teaching will be greatly missed. St Mabyn School has always been a very welcoming place thanks to Daphne and her staff and I know that she will be greatly missed on a personal level. We wish her every blessing in her retirement and say “thank you” to her. We are very fortunate in the fact that Mrs Karen Holmes, Headteacher at St Tudy will become Executive Head of the two schools of St Tudy and St Mabyn as they “federate” on 1st January. We wish Karen the very best of luck.
Please let me know of anyone who would like communion at home at Christmas.
May the joy of the Christ Child and the true spirit of Christmas be in all your hearts. Alan joins me in wishing you all a very blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year REV MARGARET

We are continuing our fund-raising and on Saturday 12th December, 10am – 4pm – staff and parents will be Bag Packing at Asda! This has proven in the past to be a highly successful fundraiser – and contrary to popular belief actually quite good fun!!

PRELIMINARY NOTICE
On Saturday 24th April in St Tudy Church at 7.30pm, Luke Bond, Assistant Organist at Truro Cathedral will be giving an Organ Recital. He is an exceptionally talented musician and the event cannot be too highly recommended. A note in the diary for 2010 would be a usual first step. GEOFFREY GIBBONS
Carnival Committee - Christmas celebrations!
We will be holding a Coffee Morning on the 12th December in The Clink from 10-11.30am. All the usual stalls, raffle and refreshments, and everyone is very welcome to come along and support us.
We are replacing The Clink Christmas lights and adding to the lights on The Forge this year at a cost of £700. We are very fortunate that Mark Orchard of Cedar Croft Nurseries has kindly offered to provide our village Christmas Tree once again this year, so our grateful thanks to him. Our thanks also go to David and Karen of Kernow Metal for their very kind donation towards the Christmas funds.
Another date for your diary is Christmas Eve, when we will be serving mulled wine and mince pies in The Clink from 6.00pm. A warm welcome to everyone to come and join us, we are also looking forward to a visit from Santa then as well!

THANKS
I would like to thank all those in St Mabyn who sponsored me for the Fleet Bike Ride (Front Line Emergency Equipment Trust) in September. I managed to raise the grand sum of £508.10. Trixie Rasmussen * * * * * * * * * ST MABYN MISTLETOE FAIR
St Mabyn’s fourth Mistletoe Fair will take place on Saturday 5th December in St Mabyn Village Hall between 12noon and 4pm. The event will be opened by Tony Dickinson, our very own Village Crier.
Apart from mistletoe and holly there will be books, crafts, hampers, a children’s workshop and bran tub, games, prizes, cards, jewellery, tombola, food, preserves, cakes, plants etc. as well as a raffle with some super prizes. We hope you will stop for a while and enjoy some refreshments and a chat as we intend this to be very much a social occasion.
The Organisers have been working hard to ensure that this year’s Mistletoe Fair will be special, so do come along and join the fun. What’s more entrance is FREE - the proceeds are for Village Hall Funds.
THE FRIENDS OF ST MABYN CHURCH
The ‘Friends’ are pleased to announce that Venning Davey of St Mabyn has agreed to join the committee. He will be a great asset to the team and will undoubtedly make a very significant contribution.
Lady Mary Holborrow will speak on the History of the Lord Lieutenancy at our 22nd January Meal with Wine in St Mabyn Village Hall – further details in the January edition of The Magazine.
Looking ahead to our 5th March Meal and Talk, Giles Clotworthy of the National Trust will be the speaker – details later.
For those who have not yet attended one of our Meals, why not give it a try. We offer a free glass of wine with a delicious main course (vegetarian option) followed by dessert offering a massive variety, plus tea and coffee. The meal is always followed by a very interesting talk by a local speaker.
The end of a year is always a good time to thank everyone who has contributed in any way toward the continued success of the ‘Friends.’ Not only have Members been most supportive, but also we are extremely grateful for everyone who has contributed to the Friends’ success by attending their various functions. Our Meals with Wine followed by a talk in St Mabyn Village Hall are highly popular, and our first venture into Wine and Wisdom most certainly exceeded our expectations. Sadly, the weather took its toll once again and, for the third consecutive year, Jazz on the Green had to take place in the church. Whilst the church has proved to be a wonderful venue for musical events, many people will recall that our first successful Jazz on the Green in 2006 took place on a warm and perfect sunny evening outdoors.
Original ideas for lucrative fundraising can be quite a challenge and the Committee is always pleased to hear from anyone who can make ‘suitable’ suggestions. However, it is doubtful whether Reverend Margaret would react with much enthusiasm were she asked to emulate the actions of an east end of London vicar who, along with her churchwardens, did a sponsored all night camp on the church roof! It has also been suggested that sponsored abseiling from a church tower is a good way to raise cash. However, St Mabyn church roof is very precious and, although the tower is high and mighty, it is definitely not up to the rigours of wannabe Spider men (or women). Pity really as the elf ‘n’ safety jobsworths would have a field day! The ‘Friends’ wish everyone a very happy and peaceful Christmas. AUDREY COOKE
