We are glad to support the Rotary End Polio campaign. To mark World Polio Day in October we planted hundreds of purple crocus bulbs in our local park. We look forward to the display in the New Year.

Thank you to all who donated coats, fleeces, tents and other items during our recent collection for the homeless at Deoran Village Hall.

We had a fascinating presentation from Luci Isaacson of Climate Change at our meeting in September. Luci encouraged us to fill in individual plans to help manage our risks in the event of a flood. We also heard that Climate Vision have 400 places available on a 2 day climate change course. To register interest contact Luci by email using the button below.

Members Mike and John proudly installed the plaque in Victoria Gardens in Truro to commemorate 100 years of Rotary in Truro.  The waterfall is a wonderful feature of the gardens and we are honoured to have our club recognised in such a beautiful setting.

The meeting discussed a calendar of varied activities for the year ahead including restoration of a water feature in Victoria Gardens, crocus planting to mark World Polio Day and a display to highlight International Day of Peace.

At our meeting in August w heard a moving and inspiring presentation from Stephen Lay, who has raised £102K in memory of his late wife Carol, for the Siblings Support FundChildren's Hospice South West. This money has funded six community support workers, and helped 450 siblings and 400 bereaved siblings.

We were delighted to assist with car parking at the recent Marie Curie Trewithen Classic Car show.

We were delighted to attend the Rotary Cluster Conference in Exeter at the end of June 2024. It was great to meet members of Rotary from four Districts in South Wales and South West England to share friendship, learning, service and fun.

Evolution Ramblers visited the Crantock area for their regular walk and lunch in June. The poppies at Crantock are a wonderful sight.

At our meeting in June we heard from Simon Allison Founder and Artistic Director of the Charity Drama Express which promotes the performing arts (poetry, stage production, writing, acting and singing). The Charity works with  young people aged from 10 to 25 with a diverse range of needs who might otherwise find it difficult to access mainstream groups. Their next production, Mr FlannelFoot, takes place at the Old Bakery Studios on Sunday 16 June 2024 at 2pm.www.drama-express.org
