LostFest - Lostwithiel Festival this Sunday


May 7th 2012

Lots going on this Sunday in Lostwithiel at their "Lostfest" festival, now in its 6th year.

LostFest is the annual arts, crafts and music festival in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The 2012 festival will take place on Sunday May 13th from 10am to 7.30pm. It's a free event with all money raised going to FLEET, The Front Line Emergency Equipment Trust which supports the emergency teams in Cornwall, 999 Ambulances, Coast Guards and Helicopters (http://www.fleet.org.uk/home)

It will be the usual hugely popular day of street arts, crafts, antiques, music, dance and entertainment all over town. It's a family event with arts and crafts stalls, workshops and demonstrations, acoustic music and dance in the streets and venues, plus craft activities for kids.

The Plant Sale is going to be bigger and better than ever this time, as we know people are already putting in lots of effort to bringing on their plant donations for the sale. 

We hold this important event each year to raise money to stage the Produce Show later on in August. Your support enables us to keep the annual show alive and well in Lerryn.

We are very grateful to Penny Philp who has agreed to fill the post of Show Secretary and to Rita Dunn who is our secretary. Thank you both. 

So please make a note of this date in your diary – May 19th - and show your support by coming along and buying a plant or two, and enjoying a cup of coffee and a delicious slice of WI-made cake.

 

And don’t forget, the Plant Sale is also the perfect opportunity to join the Association or renew your membership. At only £1, membership opens up the opportunity to win a cup in the specific member-only classes. All details about entries and classes can be found in the 2012 Show schedule, which will be available at the hall. This is also a good time for last years’ Cup winners to return their cups to Sue and John Hancock .

Mugs and a letter from the Queen


May 2nd 2012

As part of Lerryn's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, the committee arranged for the children of Lerryn School to create a design to commemorate the occasion. The winning design by Joshua Franklin was chosen to appear on the commemorative mug which would be given to the children at the school.

The Committee also decided to send one of the mugs to the Queen, and a letter was sent by Flynn Pearce to her Majesty. Much to Flynn's delight, a reply was received 2 days later, and this letter will be on display in the Red Store during the Jubilee Celebrations.

The mugs will be presented to school-children and Parent and Toddler Group during the week commencing 28th May. Any remaining mugs will be sold for £5 each. There will only be a limited number available, (first come first served), so come along to Lerryn Memorial Hall on Monday 4th June if you would like to purchase a unique memento of the Diamond Jubilee.
