Many thanks to all who came to the meeting about the village Jubilee Party!!
We plan to hold the party on Monday 4th June, in the car park field (thanks to Jonathan and Emma)
We plan on having a BBQ, with Stewart from the Victoria Inn (with help from village volunteers) on the cooking!!
Tickets will be by Invitation only and will be sent to households in Perranuthnoe prior to the event.
Fundraising activities are the first priority.
We have a quiz and Easter egg raffle (donations of Easter eggs would be appreciated) to be held in the Victoria Inn on Wednesday 21st March 8.00 pm.
On the 28th April we will be holding a special breakfast event at the Victoria Inn - details to follow at a later date

Missing Cat
Have you seen Carla who is a white affectionate tom cat, neutered, lost since Wednesday 7th. He has fawn patches on ears and a tabby tail. He came over to us from France a month ago, has Michrochip number 250269801854851 with French address.
I have a fear that he may have been sitting on car engine and fallen off on the 394 bypass. So if picked up dead or injured, caught by fox, we are desperate to know.

Churchway Footpath Alterations And Animal Welfare
Today I received the following email:
Hi Perranuthnoe, I understand that the Churchway footpath alterations have been giving cause for concern.
Since the beginning of Feb my cows have escaped three times from their field. In escaping, end up in one of the two empty fields with the footpath in. Because there is nothing in there, they hop the stiles into the broccoli fields at either end. I have seen them do this as have Gill and Frank Tanner. I have never put the cows in these fields on purpose. So, having added additional fencing to their field I needed an insurance policy just in case they got out again.
I spoke to Gareth Griffiths of the Parish council who advised me to contact the County Council footpath dept. This I did, and last Thursday Colin Bayes visited the stiles in question. The County Council do not provide labour or materials to make modifications, but he came up with the idea of the upright posts which is what I have done. I don’t have the wherewithal to provide gates, hanging posts or closing posts but if anyone in the village would like to donate some then I could approach Colin Bayes again to get written permission to install these instead (gates need written permission apparently). At no time have I added or removed stones from these stiles.
Today I learnt that these modifications have been causing concern so I have spoken to Colin Bayes again. He said if anyone had a concern they should speak to Dan Senior at the County Council. He can be contacted on 0300 1234 202.
Moreover, it would seem like my dairy venture is likely to die before it has drawn its first breath? Why? Someone in the village has been very vocal about the lack of welfare of my animals. Would I buy from a retailer who apparently takes matters into her own hands when it comes to footpaths and the welfare of her stock is suspect? No I would not. I would say no smoke without fire and avoid that person and her wares. So, for that reason I extend an open invitation to anyone to come and look at my animals so they can see for themselves. It would be good to phone me first (07980 313739) so I may accompany you. I will answer any questions you may have so you can come to your own conclusions based on facts rather than assumptions.
Daisy, Guinevere and Primrose have enough space to roam. They have three sources of water and a choice of hay or silage to eat. Their barn has 20mm rubber matting on the floor for insulation and covered in straw. At milking Daisy has dairy nuts and sugar beet shreds for additional protein and carbohydrates. After milking her udder is rubber with a peppermint and Camomile salve, her teats have a moisturiser/ waterproofer so she doesn’t get chapped and her teat tips are sprayed with an iodine ointment as protection against mastitis.
Thank you for reading this.
Karen
I would urge all you photographers out there to please go along and take photos of Karen's animals and the posts and anything else that is causing concern so that others, who may not be able to walk there themselves can make their own judgements.
This needs to be sorted as quickly as possible,. The dairy is a positive move and will be great for the village as well as for this rare breed of cow the Whitebred Shorthorns!
Please feel free to send me your photos, pics@perranuthnoe.com
As always, comments welcome.

Trenow Cove Dairy
Trenow Cove Dairy has started production of real fresh unpasteurised milk following a DEFRA inspection on Friday.
Its remarkable in lots of ways. Its the only milk being currently produced from a Whitebred Shorthorn cow in the world, (despite being a dual purpose breed), - its a first for at least half a century. Its a promotion of this very rare breed of cow with approx 152 registered females in the world. Its probably the smallest dairy in Britain. It is also the first dairy production in Perranuthnoe village for many decades, having last been produced by Joe Laity at Lynfield farm. Also a rarity is that it is milk that has not been homogenised. So, like old fashioned milk the cream comes to the top of the bottle. There is some evidence from the Soil Association that homogenised milk contributes to heart disease, (fat molecules have been made smaller and therefore more readily absorbed from the gut into the blood stream).
Chilled milk will be available daily in 1 litre or 2 litre tamper proof milk containers, selling at £1.20 & £2.20 respectively. Karen can be contacted directly by phone or mobile to place orders tell: 711875 or 07980 313739. Milk will be available for collection at 11.30am in the village.
Production will double in August when Buttercup gives birth. However, by this time it is anticipated that milk will be available pasteurised along with the current unpasteurised form. Other products such as plain and fruit yogurt, butter and buttermilk will also be available. Pasteurised products will be made available in Perranuthnoe Village Crafts with milk prices remaining at current values.

Beware BT Infinity
As you are all probably aware BT Infinity is now available in Perranuthnoe. This is just to let everyone know that all is not what it seems.
Although the 40mg speed offered by BT Infinity's fibre network is reaching the cabinet at the crossroads opposite the Dynasty as soon as it starts to travel through the village it is a completely different story. In the words of a BT engineer, the equipment in the village is out of the arc and not capable of the job.
The speed gradually decreases so much so that by the time it reaches us (The Old Chapel) it is only running at 12mb. The BT Infinity hub will not even connect at this speed as it is expecting at least 15mb.
Bt however still expect you to pay Infinity prices and are not offering any discounts.
If any of you have signed up for BT Infinity or any other service providers super fast broadband it would be great if you could let everyone know (via the comment box below) what speeds you are getting and whereabouts in the village you are so others can make an informed choice.
You can use this link to test your speed:
