Jenni and Lisa have decided to cancel this event. They wanted it to be something nice for the village and not something that would cause upset.
Jenni and Lisa are holding a traditional family evening of fireworks and food in the field opposite the car park on Thursday 5th November. Please see Village Events for more details.
There is concern in the village about the proximity of the fireworks with particular reference to pet owners.
Jenni and Lisa have said they do not want to cause upset. They are asking if anyone has any ideas for an alternative site.
Please send in your suggestions. You can use the contact form on this website or post you comments and suggestions below.
Personal Note:
As most of you know we ourselves have four dogs and although we love the idea and do not want to be killjoys we are very concerned. Our dogs get absolutely petrified by fireworks, not only do they quiver and shake like jelly whilst trying to squeeze in to the smallest space possible they also loose control of their bowels! Very upsetting all round.

Church Room Update
To recap the story so far…
Last February residents were invited to take part in a consultation event in the Church Room. Lots of great ideas were put forward to improve the fabric and use of the building.
The findings of the consultation event were published and are still available on the village website.
A working group was then pulled together with representatives from both the Church congregation and members of the wider community. This group worked hard to research the options, determine feasibility and to form a consensus on which of the ideas could be accommodated in the scope of the project. A strong project was defined.
Over the summer, some ‘quick wins’ were identified and a mini-project was funded to ensure that some action was taking place. The community’s own Open Gardens fundraising efforts paid for the new summer furniture and some small items of kitchen equipment in time for the summer events. Grants from the Parish Council (£622.23) and the former Penwith District Council’s Village Hall Grant (£ 1,377.76) have paid for the garden furniture store to be built to the rear of the building (work in progress), thereby freeing up valuable floor-space inside the building.
Latest news
Now that the summer is over, the hard work begins again in earnest. Applications are being written to the Church and Community Fund, Awards for All and others requesting funds for the all important final phase of the Church Room refurbishment.
This refurbishment aims to maximise the potential of the Church Room for use by all members of the community. Specifically we aim to:

This refurbishment aims to maximise the potential of the Church Room for use by all members of the community. Specifically we aim to:
- encourage more people (beyond the usual Church-going congregation) to use the hall as a general community facility. We hope to bring the room up to a standard which is suitable for the wide range of community activity ideas put forward at the February consultation event
- ensure the building design addresses the practical needs of the very young, the elderly and those with disabilities as far as is reasonably practicable
- maximise and make best use of the space available with bespoke, creative storage solutions, compact equipment and sensible working arrangements

Bus Campaign Result!
The 2b bus timetable from Perranuthnoe to Penzance has just changed:
There will be a bus leaving at one minute to 10 and then every hour thereafter until one minute to 3 every day.
It goes straight through to Goldsithney! (The first bus from Penzance is at 10.30 and then at half past each hour, arriving here about ten to the hour).
Well done all those who strove for a more sensible arrangement all those months ago!

Telephone Fraud Warning
Cornwall Council Information Services has received reports of a telephone fraud being attempted within the county.
The fraudsters are cold calling people claiming to be Windows XP service providers and then advising that they have detected that the person’s computer has problems (slow running, Trojan viruses etc.) This statement is false. They won’t have had access to the computer to identify any problem.
This claim is made with the intent to scare people into paying money to have their PC’s remotely ‘fixed’. They have also been known to infect computers with viruses once attached to prove their ‘repair’ has worked. They call from UK based numbers but all calls to these numbers appear to end up in India. All reports we have had so far involve people with Indian accents.
They appear to go under a number of names Supportonclick, logmein123 and Systemrecure.
As an additional warning. Random website adverts claiming to have found viruses on your computer are equally suspect and no attempt should be made to install any software offered by them.
This warning applies equally to your computers at home. Please ensure your computers at home have their security systems up-to-date, are fully patched and have a firewall in place.

Swine Flu
With the speed at which swine flu is spreading it will come as no surprise that there is a possible case of it in the village. The individual concerned is being treated with Tamiflu which is not a cure but should help to relieve some of the symptoms and reduce the potential for serious complications such as pneumonia.
More than 9,700 people in the UK are known to have caught the disease, but the real figure is believed to be much higher. The Government has warned that the number of swine flu cases could soar to 100,000 a day by the end of next month and estimated that the virus could eventually affect up to 50 per cent of the population. In the majority of cases the virus has proved relatively mild.

In the majority of cases the virus has proved relatively mild.
There are a number of steps you can take to reduce the risk of getting flu and help stop the spread of the virus.
The key is to practise good respiratory and hand hygiene.
- cover your mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, using a tissue and throw the tissue away quickly and carefully
- wash your hands regularly with soap and water
- clean hard surfaces (like door handles and remote controls) frequently with a normal cleaning product
If you think you have swine flu, check your symptoms online using the NHS flu symptom checker , call the Swine Flu information line on 0800 1 513 513 or call your local GP - do not go to the GPs surgery or hospital in person. Your local GP will be able to tell you if you have swine flu over the phone. You can also call NHS Direct on 0845 4647 but they are inundated with calls at the moment so be prepared for a long wait.
