need for calor gas stove for teas - all facilities in
place.
Individual bags of change will not be provided this
year, but Mrs Roose will hold a central ‘float’
which stall holders can access, if required.
We will obviously lose out on ‘passing trade’ visitors to Lanhydrock House walking past the
marquee. However, hopefully more local people

plenty of parking space. Please, everyone come
along and support our ‘leap into the unknown’.
Tenders for phase 2 of the works; treatment of
damp walls and re-plastering as required, and
ventilation of the roof space, have been invited.
Quotes to be in by the end of May.

Report on
Lanhydrock Meeting with Superfast Cornwall
��
Andrew Williams and Robert Ellis arranged a
meeting with Julian Cowans, Superfast
Cornwall’s Programme Manager at Cornwall
Development Company, on 28 April to explain
the planned rollout in the Lanhydrock area of
Superfast Broadband as well as talk about future
developments for further programmes and the
options for people who are not currently included
in any plans.
Here is a summary of what Julian spoke about:
"There are about 32,000 premises, covering
hundreds of clusters of 10-50+ premises and
thousands of more isolated areas, that cannot yet
get superfast broadband. A follow on programme
funded by BDU(Broadband Delivery UK), Cornwall
Council and the Local Economic Partnership (LEP)
is now underway. This will aim to upgrade a
further 8,600 premises by the end of 2017. The
initial postcodes for this activity, covering the first
1,700 premises, have now been published at
http://www.superfastcornwall.org/futureprogramme, and we will be aiming to publish
further postcodes in the coming months once
further modelling has been finalised.
The first phase of this programme includes a new
fibre cabinet at the roundabout on the B3268,
which will provide an uplift to over 50 premises
on the Bodmin exchange that lie within about
1.5km of the roundabout and are connected to
the new cabinet. You can see which exchange
you are connected to
usinghttp://www.dslchecker.bt.com/. We are
hoping that this work will be completed by the
end of Sep 2016, so keep a lookout for the cabinet
appearing soon!
Unfortunately it is not possible to prioritise areas
(such as Sweetshouse, which is connected to the
Lostwithiel exchange) in the planning process. We
find that virtually every community on slow
speeds can make a strong case to be included,
such as there being key businesses, a school,
children needing access for homework, people
with medical reasons etc. and the guiding
principle is to upgrade the maximum number of
premises possible with the available funding.
We are also working on development of a further
part-EU funded programme. This is still under
development, and as a contract has yet to be
signed we do not yet know what actual coverage
will be achievable with the funding available.
However, Cornwall Council are keen to ensure it
includes a scheme so that any businesses or
community that cannot be covered under the
rollout can apply for funding to help with
alternative technologies.
In the interim, for areas with very slow speeds,
there is some information about the subsidised
satellite scheme at:
http://www.superfastcornwall.org/satellite. At
the bottom of that page is a link to the Ofcom
mobile coverage checker, and as we heard at the
meeting people can sometimes get a much better
connection over mobile broadband. Although it is
not a supported part of our programme, we do
have an indoor mobile device called a WiBE that
can work in weaker signal areas and can typically
deliver around 8-10 Mbps on a 3G network, or
even 20+Mbps on a 4G network – 4G is becoming
more widespread in Cornwall. If you would like to
test this device, please contact Rosie at
[email protected] with name, address,
contact number and we will add you to the
waiting list."

Thank you to all who attended and here’s to the
first stage of the rollout, we will continue to push
for further areas to be included!"
Andrew Williams
The last few months on the parish council have
been a time of fond farewells and welcome returns.
Firstly, in March, we said goodbye to our Chairman,
Jeff Chapman, who departed Lanhydrock for
pastures new in Devon, to be closer to his
grandchildren.
His tireless work for the parish of Lanhydrock made
him a hugely valued member of the council and it
was with great sadness that we bid him farewell
but, as a long standing supporter of Lanhydrock, we
hope he’ll remain true to his promise to remain a
regular visitor to the parish. His enthusiasm and
energy will be sorely missed!
With Jeff’s exit leaving the council in want of a
councillor, into the breach has stepped Jonathan
Coode who, with thirty years on the council already
behind him, has been coaxed from retirement to
return to the helm. He was unanimously voted in as
Chairman at the Annual Meeting on 17�� May and
has already set to work, helping us navigate the
often choppy waters of running a council! There
are few people who have been as involved in the
life of Lanhydrock and as committed to its residents
as Jonathan and the council is delighted to have
him back on the team.
In order to make sure that the council IS supporting
the parishioners of Lanhydrock however, it’s vital
that we know of any issues that you think we
should be discussing. A section of every parish
council meeting is devoted to ‘Parish Matters’ and
this is your opportunity to put the council’s focus
onto the local topics that affect you.
This month, one of the main subjects up for
discussion was the push to get Superfast
Broadband to Lanhydrock and the recent visit by
the Superfast Cornwall team. Andrew William’s
article in this newsletter goes into much greater
depth on the outcome of that meeting, but the
council were pleased to hear that positive steps are
being taken towards getting Superfast Broadband
for the entirety of Lanhydrock, within the next
three years.
A decent internet connection is more important
than ever as increasing amounts of our daily lives
are carried out online. The parish council is no
exception to this and, at the moment, we are in the
process of setting up a Lanhydrock Parish Council
website, which should hopefully be online within
the next few weeks. The intention is that, once up
and running, it should serve as an online version of
the noticeboard, giving you all the latest news,
agendas and minutes from the parish council
meetings, in the comfort of your own home (albeit
broadband capabilities dependent!).
The next Lanhydrock Parish Council meeting will be
in July and all members of the parish are welcome
to come along. Meetings are held every two
months, generally on the last Monday, and are a
great way of finding out the latest Lanhydrock
news, having a say on things that are happening
and getting involved in the life of the community. If
it matters to you as a resident, it matters to the
council, so if there’s something you think the
council should be talking about, you can get it
added to the agenda by dropping me a line at:
[email protected].
I look forward to hearing from you!
Sarah Knight
Parish Clerk
I have mentioned in previous Newsletters the
links that I feel bind our church at Lanhydrock with
the wider community in which it resides. Links that
are important for all of us and you may be
wondering why am I returning to the subject in
this Newsletter. The reason is that I see similarities
between a season of the church’s year that we
have recently embarked on and those links.
Almost a year ago I explained how the church’s
year was divided into seasons and how each of
those seasons was marked by a particular colour.
One of those was the season of Trinity, a period
that we entered just a couple of weeks ago. It is
one of the longest in the church’s year and is
followed by Advent, the four weeks that lead up to
Christmas.
This season starts with special celebrations on the
Sunday known as Trinity Sunday and preachers
throughout the Anglican community endeavour to
explain to congregations, in words of one syllable,
the concept of a God who can be both a single
entity but also comprise three separate elements;
God the father, God the Son and God the Holy
Spirit. Needless to say this has taxed eminent
minds throughout many centuries and continues
to this day. Indeed the authors of our declaration
of faith, the Creed, which we say in church every
Sunday, expended much time and energy on the
subject and even then weren’t fully in agreement.
Their deliberations resulted in three Creeds, the
Nicene, the Apostles’ and the Athanasian. This
meant that we have a choice of three to use, and it
gets even better. In the glorious way in which the
Church of England wants to be all things to all
people, if you look at “Creeds and authorised
affirmations of faith” on the church of England
website then there are another twelve options for
the ways in which those three Creeds might be
used!
But I digress and need to get back to what I
wanted to say in this piece. It was while I was
pondering all this, in anticipation of writing my
sermon for Trinity Sunday, that it occurred to me
that this concept of three in one, of one entity
with three very separate but interlinked parts,
could very easily
be applied to our
parish of
Lanhydrock.
Perhaps not
quite so strongly as in the past but still there, still
an influence on our lives and still relevant.
The single entity, and the first part of our trilogy, is
of course the parish itself, the place in which, if I
could slightly alter a sentence from Chapter 17 of
the book of Acts, we live, move and have our
being. The parish is the place that defines and
shapes our lives. It is a place to live; it is a place to
work; and through the presence of the Memorial
Hall it is a place to socialise. But there are two
other places, two other elements, within the
parish that influence the way in which we live,
whether we are aware of it or not.
The second part is the house. As I said earlier, now
that the family are no longer in residence, it
doesn’t have quite the same impact on the
community, not so many people are directly
employed by it and it doesn’t own as much of the
land. Yet it and the estate still have the ability to
be an important part of our lives. People from the
parish are still employed there, people from the
parish enjoy the recreational opportunities, the
walks the cycle trails, and possibly the fishing on
the river Fowey. The estate and the farming
community provide care and stewardship for the
land and the countryside. They have a profound
effect on its nature and character. What we see
and what we enjoy are there because of them. The
house and the estate provided the materials for
the creation of the Memorial Hall and the estate
contains the parish church. Indeed at one time the
house had the church in its care.
Which, of course, brings me nicely onto the third
element, the church. This has also had a profound
effect on the life of the parish. Well you wouldn’t
expect me to say otherwise would you? But it is
not just the church of St Hydroc, it is the other
places of worship in the parish as well. These have
all been available to the people of the parish for
hundreds of years; as places of worship; as places
for the rights of passage, baptism, weddings,
funerals; as places to visit and just sit; and as
another community building, just like the Memorial
Hall, where people can gather to be together and to
socialise.
Loveny Male Voice Choir
And there will be an an opportunity for church,
Memorial Hall and community to show that they
are three in one in June. On the 12th we are
holding a service in the church at 0945 to mark the
Queen’s 90�� birthday. This will be followed by a
Bring and Share lunch in the Memorial Hall. So do
please come along and join us as we gather, as one,
to mark the special birthday of a very special
person.
On Saturday 30th April 2016 a Concert by the
Loveny Male Voice Choir, together with two
soloists Rosemary Turner and Maggie Holden, was
held at St Petroc's Church in aid of St Hydroc's
Repair Fund.
The concert was well attended and everyone
enjoyed the varied music on offer. The generosity
of the people attending increased the repair fund
by a magnificent £570.00.
And finally, after nearly a year without someone at
the helm of the Bodmin Team of churches, we
welcome, in July, the Revd Paul Holley and his wife
Denise. His licensing will take place in St Petroc’s
church on the 18�� July and more details about that
will be available in due course.
St Hydroc’s Day Service
A service to celebrate St Hydroc's Day was held on
Thursday 12th May 2016. Afterwards the
congregation adjourned to the Lanhydrock War
Memorial Hall, where they enjoyed a good chat
whilst eating the excellent Bring and Share Supper.
I am sure that you will all join with me in wishing
them well as they start their new life among us.

May 25th 2016, was the Emerald Anniversary of
our group. 55 years of wonderful flowers of
various styles and the talents of arranging were
celebrated.
We had a stunning demonstration by Elaine
Reynolds from Bruallen Flowers of Delabole based
on the theme of our emerald anniversary,
followed by a celebratory tea. Our monthly
competition also followed the same theme and
showed how talented so many of our members
are and what we have learnt over the years.
Nearly 50 members were present including seven
previous chairmen of the club. A wonderful
“birthday” cake was made by one of the
members, Lorna Curtis.
Margaret Johnson invited Elaine to cut the cake
with her.
We are proud to be such a successful club and
wish for many more years of the enjoyment of
flowers in the future.
Meetings are on the 4th Wednesday of the
month, (excluding August, December and
January), at Lanhydrock Hall at 2.30 until 4.30 pm.

H.M.S. “Coverley” - update !
Some readers may remember that in the Aug-Sep 2013 edition of this Newsletter I included a potted history
of the WW2 armed trawler H.M.S. “Coverley”, whose adoption by Lanhydrock Parish is commemorated on a
framed Admiralty certificate in the Memorial Hall.
Although I could find little evidence of the wartime service of such a small vessel at the time, by a strange
coincidence I recently came across a reference to her in a dusty paperback which I unearthed from a box stored
since our last house move 5½ years ago !
“Gunboat 658” (first published in 1955) was an autobiographical account by her last captain, Lieutenant L.C.
Reynolds RNR, of Royal Navy small boat operations in the Mediterranean from 1943-45.
The opening chapters, however, detail the MGB’s inaugural operational voyage in convoy from Milford Haven
to Gibraltar, in which the escorting H.M.S. “Coverley” played a not insignificant part ….…
The events described therein by (then Midshipman) Reynolds took place in the early hours of 4th May 1943:
“
The biggest surprise came at dusk. A signal was passed back from the Coverley
(the leading trawler) :
‘Estimated time of arrival Gibraltar 0730/07. Rig for entering harbour, ratings half
blues, officers blues. Prisoners will be met by escorts.’
The word ‘prisoners’ shook everyone. We flashed up Doug, but he knew
nothing, so we tried ML 240 to starboard. He pleaded ignorance, but tried the
ML in the next column. Eventually, and at fifth hand, we discovered that
Charles Jerram in 667 and Tom Fuller in 654 (the two Dogs at the end of the
starboard column) had picked up survivors from a German U-boat on the night
of 657’s clash. So that had been the commotion we had seen! The searchlights
had been the Aldis lamps of the Dogs sweeping the sea for survivors. But how
had the U-boat been sunk?
We heard the next day the whole thing was rather a mystery. The trawler
Coverley had picked up a submarine by Asdic, and had turned sharply to port
to attack. She may have rammed the submarine. On the other hand, survivors
from two U-boats were picked up, and stated they had been in collision with
each other. Apparently this was the price of hunting in packs!
Admiralty records, however, attribute one sinking to the trawler by ramming
and the other to aircraft attack, which in the circumstances of that dark night
hardly seems likely.
“a
Later records confirmed that this was indeed a
collision between U-439 and U-659 whilst
shadowing the convoy on the surface. The upshot
was that both submarines sank with heavy loss of
life: from a total of 84 crew, there were only 12
survivors.
”
So although “Coverley” was denied her “kill”, it
reminds us that those thousands of unglamorous
small naval vessels, and their gallant crews, also
played a vital part in protecting our maritime
communications during those desperate days.
H.M.S. Coverley
Including our very own adopted ship!

Careless clicks give criminal kicks: get switched on
to cyber crime
Devon & Cornwall Police has launched its new
cyber crime campaign - aimed at raising awareness
of this increasing problem and encouraging our
communities to get safe online.
Cyber crime is increasingly affecting the
communities of Devon & Cornwall. Cyber crime is
not a victimless crime and does not discriminate.
The young and old, the computer savvy and the less
so can all fall victim to cyber crime.
What is cyber crime? Cyber crime is any type of
crime which uses an element of the online.
It includes fraud involving banking, identity theft,
dating, tickets and online shopping. In addition
harassment, grooming, online bullying and even
drug dealing are all part of cyber crime if any
element of online is used as part of the crime.
The victims of these crimes don’t have to be duped
over the internet to fall victim – many cyber crimes
begin with face-to-face contact while others are
initiated over a landline, mobile or on a tablet. I
myself received a call at home recently to tell me
there is was a ‘fault’ with my computer, needless to
say they hung up pretty quickly!
We are encouraging everyone to
pick up a free copy of our scam
booklet The Little book of Big
Scams, to download it, to share it
online, to read it to your family. Our
message is clear: protect yourself
online.
The booklet is widely used across the country and
has proved a really useful guide with the most
common scams and tricksters methods detailed. It
is available to download from or to collect from
your local station or district council office.
As always if anyone needs any further advice please
feel free to contact me.

Summer Worries
A few years back
when we were
looking to buy a new
pup, there was some
disagreement in the
household. Every
breed the kids
suggested was met
with ‘joint
problems’, ‘skin
issues’, ‘dodgy
temperament’ and so
on until the kids accused me of seeing problems with
everything.
It is unfortunately true. I try not to be a glass half
empty sort of person, but when you see the things
that go wrong every day, you tend to have a skewed
world view.
It’s the same with the onset of summer. I write this
on a beautiful May morning sitting outside in my
shorts- I know, a thought to put most people off their
elevenses, but I can’t help but think of the pet related
issues that a long hot summer brings.
My biggest concern is dogs and cars. Dogs cook
very quickly in cars, even on an over cast day.
Always when heading out for the day, think about
whether it’s appropriate to take the hound, and even
if it’s allowed where you’re going.
The standard advice has to be don’t leave the dog in
the car, but I am a realist and realise that sometimes
you get caught out. If you do end up having to leave
the dog in the car, even for a short time, don’t rely
on leaving one window open an inch. Open all of
them as wide as possible, after all, who’s going to
nick a car with a dog in it.
There are numerous devices on the market to
increase ventilation, one of the best being a clever
little locking mechanism that allows you to leave the
hatchback open but with the car still secured.
However, I would advise anyone to park the car,
open the windows and sit there without the aircon on
and see just how quickly it gets unbearable. Heat
stroke is a very real problem and we get to deal with
the end result; it’s not pretty.
The RSPCA understandably get very heated about
this problem, and will happily break a window to
free the dog and prosecute you afterwards.
The advice has to be don’t, but if you have to, think
shade, as much ventilation as possible, water and
regular checking. A dead dog, broken window and a
prosecution for animal cruelty is a real damper on a
lovely summer day.
Rant over, I realise I’ve used up my allotted words
so will spare everyone the delights of itchy dogs and
all the other heat related issues. I also acknowledge
that by highlighting a hot summer issue, I’ve just
booked the wettest and coldest summer on record,
but if we do get a good one, enjoy it but think of the
pets.

The 23rd annual West Country property exhibition organised by Webbers Fine & Country, recently took
place at the G Live complex in the centre of Guildford.
The event welcomed buyers from across Surrey and gave them the opportunity to browse a range of
stunning properties from across Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. With such an impeccable standard of
properties the West Country has to offer, including rural homes, inland village settings and ever-popular
coastal homes, and with a large variant in property prices, £200,000 - £2m+, the West Country roadshow
once again proved it had something for everyone.
Andrew Jeffery said, this event was another great year in Guildford and whilst directly market to
Guildford, Surrey and Home Counties buyers week in and week out, the exhibitions continue to add
another dimension. Most visitors enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and the fact that there is no pressure,
and we are just happy to let people browse if that is what they want or help them with any questions.
Recent years had seen a shift to Coastal homes but it was noticeable that there was at the weekend a big
shift back to more rural living (but still wanting the coast within an easy drive), but there was a continued
demand for homes with cottages and annexes for families and certainly good interest for homes with
adjoining letting cottages, continuing the trend for the past few years.
Most buyers were seeking properties between £400,000 and £1.2 Million. There were a good number
seeking bungalows for retirement under that price, but in the main, the majority of interest was for
period property in rural locations (within half an hour drive of the coast), with large accommodation for
extended family or for a home with letting accommodation. Almost all of the buyers were seeking
homes for permanent use and looking to fully relocate to the West Country.

Adult outdoor training has commenced on Tuesday
and Thursday evening’s at the club from 6-8pm,
anyone wishing to come along and try cricket is
more than welcome as new players are always
welcome.
After the first 4 matches, the new season has
started well for the 1st XI, despite being in a higher
tier of cricket after last seasons second successive
promotion. They are currently unbeaten with
captain Tom Trethewey leading by example taking
11 wickets and new signing Ross Keast taking 8
wickets, winning 3 with 1 being abandoned whilst
in a winning position due to persistent rain. The
2nd XI have not done quite so well winning only 1
of their 3 matches so far and have struggled early
season with availability. However the match they
did win at Bude saw Jason Farrar hit an unbeaten
112, his second century for the club and Brian
Barnicoat taking 9 wickets. All this season's results
can be found at:
Support is also encouraged during home matches.
The bar is open from 1.00pm with tea and coffee
also available as well as a warm welcome.
Junior outdoor training has also commenced on
Monday evenings from 6.30-8.00pm with large
attendances, which is good news for the future of
the club. A lot of investment has gone into the
junior section with 3 ECB qualified coaches now at
the club and enthusiastic support from parents.
The club has also embraced the ECB Chance to
Shine program with one of our coaches entering
local schools to raise the profile of cricket and the
club within the local community. If you would like
to bring your children please just turn up on a
Monday evening, if it is a nice evening stay and
watch the children in beautiful surroundings and
enjoy the hospitality of the club.

The club is always looking to improve facilities and
this can only be achieved with grants, donations
and fundraising. Fundraising has already started for
this season with 4 members of the club, Dave
Attfield, Brian Barnicoat, Simon Benney and Matt
Middleton entering the Bodmin Moor Ten Tor’s
Walk. The 14 mile walk was completed in 4 hours
30 minutes raising around £600, a great start for
the year.
If you would like to donate or have any fundraising
idea's please contact Dave Attfield on

Plants for Free or Almost!
Lidls are selling living lettuce for around 99p
a punnet. I bought
one at the
beginning of April
and carefully
separated apart
the seedlings
which produced
just over 70 plants which I planted in my
raised vegetable bed.
Now just over a month later they are ready
to harvest.
Seventy lettuce
for under a
pound -- not bad.
They are such a
lovely variety of
colours and
textures that
they could have been planted in a flower
bed.
At about the same time I bought a small
basil plant from the salad section of another
supermarket. I harvested the
end leaves pinching them
back to a leaf joint and then
repotted into a larger pot in a
multi purpose compost. Kept
on the kitchen windowsill
and not watering too much it
has now trebled in size with
many harvests to come.
All of the small herbs in pots at
supermarkets can be treated like this . They
are just desperate for some more soil
around their roots ! They also can be
planted in the garden now the weather is
warmer.
In the same vein I
purchased this
miniature rose for
£2. Looking closely
at the stems it can
be seen this is not
just one plant but
four. Gently
separating them
apart and again
potting on into fresh good compost
immediately produced four healthy rose
plants - 50p each!
Give them a couple of weeks to settle down
and they could then be planted out in the
garden and with regular feeding should
flower all summer.
The Lostwithiel Garden society still has
some places on the coach to visit Coleton
Fishacre Gardens in Devon on June 14th.

1
small thin-skinned orange
Self Raising Flour
level tsp Baking Powder
Caster Sugar
soft baking margarine
Eggs
tsp ground cinnamon
tsp mixed spice
Orange Filling
2 - level tbsp orange pulp, reserved from whole orange
50g soft butter
175g - icing sugar, sieved, plus a little extra for dusting
Method
1. Grease and base line two deep 20cm tins with greased greaseproof paper
2. Place the whole orange in a small saucepan and cover with boiling water and cook very slowly on
the hob until completely tender (about 1 hour).
3. When the orange is soft and cold, cut in half and remove any pips. Process the whole orange, including the skin, until medium chunky. Reserve 2 level tablespoons of the orange pulp for the icing,
and put the rest back in the processor. Add the remaining cake ingredients and blend until smooth.
Avoid over-mixing. Divide the mixture evenly between the two tins.
4. Bake in a preheated oven to 180⁰C/350�F/Gas mark 4 for about 25 - 30 minutes. When the cakes
are cooked, they should be shrinking away from the sides of the tins and be pale golden brown.
5. Leave to cool in the tins for a few minutes, then turn out , peel of the paper and finish cooling on a
wire rack.
6. To make the orange filling, cream the soft butter, then add the sieved icing sugar and the reserved
orange pulp. Sandwich the two cakes together with the icing and sift icing sugar over the top.
