Perran Voices



Perran Voices is a friendly local singing group which meets fortnightly (1-3pm) in Perranuthnoe. We sing beautiful, easy-to-learn songs from around the world (and closer to home), for relaxation and the joy of singing in harmony. There is no pressure to perform, or attend every session.

All ages and voices are most welcome. We've had 3 lovely sessions so far and sung songs as varied as 'Dem Bones', an Orthodox version of 'Kyrie Eleison', a 3-part arrangement of 'The Nightingale, 'Back of the Bus' (a song from the American Civil right movement) and a West African lullaby ...

Forthcoming dates are as follows (all 1-3pm):

- Thursday 26th May (then we swap to Tuesdays...)
- Tuesday 7th June
- Tuesday 21st June
- Tuesday 5th July
- Tuesday 19th July

We meet in the newly refurbished 'Church Room' community centre in Perranunthoe.
£3.50 per session. If you would like to come and see if it's 'your thing' please let me know by ringing 01736 763766 or emailing pipjanewright@gmail.com

Yvonne's Gambian Holidays!

In January 2009 Yvonne Groves, along with a friend, went on a (cheap) holiday to the Gambia.
She fully expected to have an interesting visit, but was not prepared to be bowled over by the love, happiness and generosity of the Gambian people.

She returned again this year and met up with the same families and tried to understand how they managed their lives. Yvonne sponsors the education of a little girl called Phlomen as well as helping 3 other families.

If you would like to hear a personal account and see images of Yvonne’s “Gambian holidays” please come along to the Coffee morning in Perranuthnoe’s Church Room on Saturday 28th May 10am – 12.30pm.

Short film of the Street Party by Ben Mankin

Ben Mankin has made a short film of Perranuthnoes Royal Wedding Street Party which can be viewed here: http://vimeo.com/23342039
(People may want to make sure 'HD' is off - ie greyed out, not blue - in the control bar at the bottom of the film screen. If it is blue, it takes for ever to download....)

He has entered it in to The Times 'Smile' competition - the challenge was to 'make us smile'. This is the link to some info about the competition. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/public/smile/article3006157.ece#tab-4

Good luck Ben and thank you for sharing

Art Club – next session 11th May 7-9pm

For those who want to, we will be working on the pieces cut from the Big Art we made last time.

If you do not want to do this, I would suggest you bring something you would like to do (still life, working from sketches, other) or give me a buzz beforehand and I can try to make some plans...

Royal Wedding Street Party

A street party open to all residents of Perranuthnoe is being held on the afternoon of 29th April around the Churchroom.

Because of this, the road past the Churchroom from the junction of Cemetry Lane and Churchtown House to the junction of Church Farm Hill and Boatcove Lane will be closed from 08.00 to 19.00 on the day.

The alternative route for vehicles during this time will be....past Penlayree, right at the junction with the Mews, to bottom of Church Farm Hill, then right up to junction of Boat Cove Lane and vice versa. Some parking restrictions will apply in this area during the stated times.

To comply with Cornwall Council's conditions or road closures, appropriate 'Road Closed' signs will be put in place and 'obligatory' Traffic Stewards positioned at either end of the closed section. Also to comply with council conditions and insurance requirements, the section of road past the Chuchroom will be closed to all members of the public who are not attending or helping with the street party, between 13.00 and 18.00. During these times members of the public should follow the traffic diversion route.

We are seeking volunteers to act as Traffic Stewards between 12.00 and 18.00 for at least one or more 1 hour shifts. Anyone who can help with this task will be greatfully recieved and should contact Kevin at Village Crafts on 711808 at home on 710587 or via e-mail at perrancrafts@gmail.com An appropriate 'street legal' safety vest will be provided.
