St Day W.I The group meets on the second Wednesday of each month in the church hall. We have a very varied and interesting programme to suit all tastes.

Recently Sarah Reed, the Methodist minister's wife and a florist, gave a demonstration of floral art creating two delightful arrangments on the theme of Spring, whilst keeping us entertained with stories of her family.

Our last meeting was a most interesting talk by Esther Gilbert and Elizabeth Triggs accompanied by a photo show by Debbie Goldsworthy .

They spoke of their recent trip to the Holy Land where they visited all the historic sites and where some of the group were baptised in the river Jordan. A most memorable and moving experience for them all.

The coming months meetings will include Microwave Cookery, Handbell Ringers and an outing to Heligan gardens in August.

We are a very friendly and welcoming group, do come along and join us for an evening and see that we are not just “Jam and Jerusalem.”

A visit to The Holy Land ‘Would you write a bit about your trip to the Holy Land?’ said Nigel, ‘What was the highlight of the trip for you?’ Well, when you have been lucky enough to spend a week in Israel and see so many wonderful places that you have read about in the Bible, where do you start? Visiting Nazareth, Jerusalem or Bethlehem or being baptised in the River Jordan? Yes - all amazing. But the place that I really remember was one we were not originally scheduled to be at. Our hotel in Galilee had to be changed to a holiday village that was actually on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. On the last morning there, before breakfast at 7 a.m., I made the effort to go down to the shoreline and have a paddle. It was so serene, the shallow water stretching out to a gap between the reed beds and beyond that to the Sea surrounded by the hills. As I stood on the pebbly ‘beach’ I had the real feeling that this was the sort of place where Jesus might have walked. This was the sort of place He would have come and joined his friends or simply enjoyed peace and reflection. And then a small fishing boat came into view from behind the reeds and it was perfect. Joyce Basset

_________

We went on a Holy Land pilgrimage with Reverend Danny Reed in March. This was special for me as I had always dreamed of walking where Jesus walked. But I was not prepared for the blessings we would all receive. We could feel the presence of The Lord with us. Our two Grandsons were baptised in the River Jordan by Reverend Danny Reed and his father William (Bil) Reed. Eleven were baptised on that Spring morning at 8am at Yardenit Baptism Site. This was special for us as our daughter Deborah was baptized there 16 years ago. Esther Gilbert

Reflections on our visit to Israel On 20 March we were privileged to make a second trip to Israel; our

previous visit being almost 16 years ago. As a group, of 44, a quarter of us were from St Day, we had met together a few times to become more acquainted with those we did know before we travelled. Our base for the first three nights was in a kibbutz hotel beside the Sea of Galilee. It was a fantastic setting

overlooking the lake, and on an early morning visit, before breakfast, we were delighted to find a little fishing boat with its net cast, as if it was there just for us! From here, we visited many of the Galilean sites that Jesus would have been familiar with while he was growing up and throughout his ministry, as well the Church of the Annunciation, which marks the place where Gabriel appeared to the young Mary and told her that she would bear a son, Jesus. One of our highlights of the trip was a boat trip across the Sea of Galilee. In the middle of the lake the boat’s engine was stopped and, in the stillness and a gentle breeze, while the boat drifted, we all shared in a communion service together Before leaving Galilee we visited one of the baptism sites on the River Jordan, at Yardenit, where a number of our group, including our two sons, were baptised by Rev Daniel Reed. From Galilee, we travelled south to Jerusalem which was to be our base for the remaining four nights of our trip. From here, we travelled to Bethlehem where we visited the Church of the Nativity as well as the Shepherds’ field. The highlight, in Jerusalem, was a visit to The Garden Tomb. This site is owned and run by British Christians, and according to protestant tradition is believed to be the place where Jesus’ body was placed after the crucifixion. Here, despite the hustle

and bustle of the busy life surrounding the garden there was a sense of peace and calm and here, despite the rain, we all had a sense of God’s presence with us as we shared together in a time of communion. Keith & Deb Goldsworthy

________

It was the most wonderful trip of my lifetime, to actually be where Jesus was born, lived and died. His presence was everywhere from the Sea of Galilee to the Dead sea. Our guide was able to tell us so much about every place that we visited it all came alive. Everywhere was such an emotional experience. I shall never forget my Holy Land holiday.

The Nazareth Village The Nazareth village was the first site we visited. The Village is a mock-up of how Nazareth would have looked 2,000 years ago. Inside there is a shepherd

tending his flock of sheep and goats, an authentic first century winepress, a carpenter/stone mason (see picture), an olive press and a synagogue like the one where Jesus would have spoken in Luke 4 v 14 -21 . We worshipped and read from the Bible in the synagogue before we left. It was very interesting to see how things would have been in Jesus’ time and helped us to imagine how other sites would have been.

By Sam and Joe Goldsworthy

The highlight of a very full tour was a visit to the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. After visiting the tomb and also he place of the skull, where Jesus was crucified, we held a Communion service where all forty five of our group shared the bread and wine in a circle. Then Reverend Danny Reed, our leader asked me to sing “I Walked Where Jesus Walked”. This song I have sung many times and have always attempted to put emphasis on the meaning of the words. In the final verse; “I took my heavy burden up and with him by my side, I climbed the Hill of Calvary where on the Cross He died” took on such a reality that I felt He was there with us.

With the onset of "growing your own" I hope you find the few tips, helpful.

If you are thinking of growing your own vegetables for the first time, a great soil conditioner in the first year are potatoes (it is not to late to plant for 2011.

Please do not be in a rush to plant crops; many a failure is due to an early planting.

Courgettes, Runner Beans, Marrows, can all be started from seed in May and planted out in late May and early June, the same applies for Tomatoes and Cucumbers, and patience is a virtue in the garden.

Carrots, Lettuce, Beetroot can all be started from seed into the ground in May, along with Spring Onions, and Radish for a crop in August/ September and later if you do 2/3 week successive sowings.

Fuchsias, originated in South America and New Zealand, and to get a spectacular showing of blooms, keep pinching the growing tips out until the 2" week in June, yes you will miss the early blooms but the subsequent display will be worth more than the wait, Tomato feed works well in helping the plants establish.

Roses, when they have bloomed, cut the dead flower head back to the main stem, it will promote vigorous new growth. The same applies to Dahlias.

Have a happy and successful growing Season

St Day Football Club is getting used to the feeling of success with two of its three teams gaining promotion and reaching cup finals this month.

The reserve team not only gained promotion but also became Division 2 winners while the third team finished its division in third place and will, as a result, be promoted. With the chance of more silverware coming our way in the form of two semi finals and two finals, the club is going from strength to strength. Let’s not forget however that this is a small village club which is achieving big things and is striving to succeed all the time. Next season the Falmouth/Helston League and the Mining League will merge and instead of being three separate leagues each, there will be 6 leagues, known as the Trelawney League. This will bring us in line with the rest of the football leagues right throughout the country. At the start of the season we set out to stabilise our first team in the Jolly’s Combination League and put our main focus on gaining promotion into our reserves (Div 2) and our thirds (Div 3). This wasn’t a good thing in everybody’s eyes, however with promotion we would be in the new Divs 2 & 4 respectively. If we didn't achieve this, the second and third teams could have been as low as leagues 4 and 6 which, when we aim to feed the first team with players from these teams, would have left too large a gap between the teams. Having closer ability players to senior standard makes the club work as a whole that much better. The 1st team has had a very difficult season, losing the manager and a lot of players at Christmas, and the team needed almost to rebuild. Mark Etherington, the club’s Vice–Chairman, stepped in to take the team along with Garry Kay who gave up his playing career to help get the team through while we appointed a new manager. We took our time with this selection as we didn’t want to disturb our reserve sides and most managers couldn’t understand this idea, however we have appointed a man who not only understands a great deal about football but understands the committee’s ambition, which is to grow the club gradually through our youth sides to become the club of the future. The club has been through a very tough time publicly in the last two seasons through the world of the internet and newspapers. This came through saying that we were going to achieve big things and not succeeding. At the start of this season as a committee we decided to put


18

this right and set our ambitions correctly and made them achievable in the best long-term interests of the club. As you have read, that’s exactly what we have done this season. The club understands that it needs youth to develop and feed the teams in the next couple of seasons. Over the past couple of months we have, with the help of Cornwall County FA, established a club link with Redruth School: A Technology College. This is a process where we coach students for a number of weeks in school and then invite them back to the club for further training and build their skills and confidence to play football and be involved in sport. We will then look to affiliate them into a youth league next season. Along with this we have been contacted by teams possibly leaving current clubs which want to set up at St Day. These age groups would be U13 & U14. With the season approaching its end and with silverware becoming almost a certainty the club has organised a special Dinner & Dance. We have decided to have a marquee at the ground dressed to the highest specification with a three course meal and great entertainment. This will take place on Saturday 4th June and will be a ticket only occasion. However tickets are available to anyone who would like to come and join in the celebration, players, sponsors and especially you, the supporters. Tickets are priced at £20 PP and can be obtained from Adrian Walters on 07940318797 or Mark Leah 07875596798. Finally we would like to make you aware that, every month in the football season, the club issues a Newsletter keeping everyone up to date with what’s going on at St Day FC. It covers everything from the previous month’s results and the coming month’s fixtures to how the club is progressing in its aim to be the club of the future. It also has a players’ question section which brings up many funny answers about players’ favourite soaps, food and hobbies. To get your free copy you can pick one up from the clubhouse or have it e-mailed to you by sending an e-mail request to: [email protected]. Thanks once again for reading and please be aware that everyone is welcome at the club at any time and any game. Please come and support your very SUCCESSFUL village club and be a part of the club of the future. We are going to try to write a short article in every Parish Newsletter and be a part of the community from youth to men's football, keeping you the readers up to date. Kindest Regards & Best Wishes St. Day Football Club Committee

Police news Redruth South and the mining villages now have an additional PCSO. Jenny Northcote has joined the team after working as the gypsy and traveller PCSO for the past 18months. Prior to that she was working in Redruth North for 6 years and brings a wealth of experience to our team.

Unfortunately, as many of you will be aware, play equipment at Wheal Jewell has been damaged by mindless individuals. Two pieces of play equipment have suffered extensive fire damage, along with the flooring and a litter bin. It appears that this has happened on two separate occasions and both are being investigated. We would ask that any parishioners with any knowledge contact the police on the numbers below, alternatively you can contact crime stoppers

You may or may not be aware but a number of station enquiry offices are closing due to the


22

fact that approximately 90% of enquiries to the Police are received via the phone. Redruth enquiry office is closing however there will still be neighbourhood officers working from the station. There will also still be patrol officers on duty 24/7 so policing of St Day will not be affected. Camborne and Truro enquiry offices will remain functional and open to the public between the hours of 1000-1900, Tuesday to Friday and Saturday 0900-1400.

A number of Partners and Communities Together (PACT) boxes have been distributed around the village and are located in the General Stores, Children’s Centre, Premier Shop and the Post Office. Please feel free to add any comments you wish to make on the cards and place them in the box. Comments do not have to relate to policing issues as the idea of PACT is to involve all agencies working to improve the local community. Cards will be collected on a fortnightly basis and forwarded to the relevant authority for action. It is vital that you make us aware of your issues as we may not always be aware unless we are informed.

These things have been in St Day and Gwennap

By Richard R Blewett Part VIII (cont)

Poverty and the Poor Law (Continued) – first published in February, 1963

Famine is defined as ‘extreme and general scarcity of food’ and it seems clear that the Parish of Gwennap was the victim of a visitation of famine in 1846 and 1847. In Ireland half the population of 8 million subsisted on potatoes – some for human and some for the pig popu-lation. In the summer of 1845 Irish potato fields were visited by a hith-erto unknown disease of the crop which rendered it useless. The full story of the famine that followed is one of the horrors of history. By 1846 the people of St Day and Gwennap were in a similar economic situation. In a limited area of a few thousand acres, to be exact 5,291, with a crowded population of 11,000 people and almost entirely sub-sisting on the mining of copper and tin, danger was a near neighbour. Nearly all the eggs were in one basket, the bottom of which was be-ginning to fall apart. The period 1840 – 1850 was a difficult period for the whole country – the ‘Hungry Forties’; in our parish it was more than hunger – it was starvation. On February 9th, 1847, the Parish Vestry called a public meeting ‘for the purpose of considering the pre-sent distressed condition of the poor and adopting such means as might be thought best for its effectual alleviation. It was unanimously resolved: 1. To solicit subscriptions from the landed, mining and other proprie-tors; To mitigate the severe suffering which now threatens to be universal; ‘the fund to be immediately laid out in the purchase whatever is con-sidered conducive to the relief of the poor’. The collection amounted to £570. How far could that be made to go? We have seen that the Vestry was spending 2s.2d (11p) to maintain a pauper for a week. At that rate £570 would help to keep 500 starvelings alive for 10 weeks. ‘And after that, the dark’. The Poor Rate was raised to 2 shillings (10p), having formerly been 1 shilling and even as low as 6d (2½p). Production from the Williams Group of mines (Poldice, Wheal Jewell,


25

Wheal Gorland and others) between 1844 and 1849 was nearly halved. A two year production, 1844 and 1845, of £103,540 had fallen by 1848 and 1849 to £61,052. On June 7th, 1948, appeared in the Vestry Minute Book this entry, ‘In consequence of the depressed state of the mines of this parish owing to the low prices of copper and tin caused by the troubled state of the Continent, a great many men, boys and women are thrown out of employ and those that are at work are so, at very reduced wages’. And again, the Assistant Commis-sioner is sent for ‘to enquire into the state of this district and to decide if it might not be desirable for the Redruth Guardians to loan bread to the able-bodied men’. This seems to suggest that the men’s wages were insufficient to give them energy enough for the arduous labour of mining. The discovery of ‘calorie intake’ was far in the future but low calorie intake was a matter of painful experience before it became a subject of scientific research. Will there ever be an ending to the ‘Martyrdom of Man?’ Over the world it continues unabated. Gwennap and St Day made ample contribution to its history and even a century later, in the 1930s, it added to the tragic story! On June 7th, 1848, it was decided ‘to employ the able-bodied poor in breaking up crofts at such price as the Assistant Overseer and High-ways Surveyor may fix’. It was during this period that certain houses in the west end of the St Day township became Vogue Terrace – sev-eral feet above the level of the road and certain houses down the hill, further west, found themselves several feet below the road level. The hill was very steep so the ‘able-bodied poor’ lowered the top of the hill and carried the material to the bottom of the hill to raise the road level. Using the Parish Tithe map of 1837 and the Annual Summary of rat-ing of agricultural land (it is no longer rated) I found that for the half century ending about 1930 an average of 16 acres of land had been reclaimed from crofts and mining waste each year. From a suitable vantage ground overlooking the bleak and dreary waste of the United Mines it is pleasant to look at the green islands of cultivation that men have laboured to reclaim. The readers of discernment of this history have noted the frequent references to child labour in the mines, ‘The younger children, as they grow up, are instructed in that labour which becomes immediately available’ (mining). ‘The children will be taken away from the scene of their natural employment and in most cases lose that preference

St Day’s Fourth Lantern Procession!

On Friday 4th March 2011 the streets of our village were lit up by the 4th St Day Mid-winter lantern celebration. This year the celebration was a little later than previous years but wonder-fully coincided with St Piran’s eve, providing a theme for the proceedings and the inspiration behind the huge St Piran pup-pet lantern!

St Piran Hayley

Led by Cascade’s Kit and Carol in full ‘Day-Light’ costumes the procession was accompanied by the fantastic Haylestorm Samba band. It started at the clock tower at 7pm before mov-ing along Telegraph Street, up Mills Street, along Scorrier and Church Street to the Old Church, which was beautifully lit with tealights and illuminated art works made by our community during the Day-Light project last year showed off pieces of stained glass from the old church. The two large puppet lan-terns, the white St Piran and green ‘Hayley’ (Haylestorm Samba’s puppet), made by members of our community, then

danced outside the Old Church watched by over 100 visitors, many carrying lanterns. Everyone was then in-vited to the school where soup, tea and cake were enjoyed with a light hearted ap-proach to the St Pi-ran’s story by Kit and Carol, and music by

Mike and Barry, against a backdrop of more of our community art.

Thanks to EVERYONE who helped plan and support this year’s event, making, lighting or carrying lanterns, making posters, making and selling cakes and soup, stewarding to keep everyone safe, pro-viding entertainment and music, and in enjoying yourselves, which is what it’s all about! We are a community to be proud of! Big thanks to the Parish Council for funding this year’s event. We hope this ever evolving and changing celebration will be an an-nual event, as it seems to get bigger and better each year, bringing a little cheer to those dark winter nights. If you have any ideas for next year’s event or would like to get involved please let us know; it’s al-ways a lot of fun and generally includes tea and cakes throughout. Thanks everyone! Kim and Clare P.S. Packs of lovely postcards featuring 8 different images of the art-work made by our community last year during the Day-Light Project are now available to buy for £3 in Make Do and Mend and the Post Office. All money raised will go towards future art events in St Day.

of plastic, vodka bottles and oil drums which people dumped in his field by the road to Pink Moors at Tolgullow. We would remind resi-dents that it is an offence to deposit litter and Mr Slack is prepared to take action against offenders. After a long period of complaining the Parish Council persuaded Cornwall Council to clean up the main roads to Scorrier and Redruth which are too dangerous for volunteers to litter pick. Unfortunately within days litter has been deposited in the lay-by at the turning to Busveal. Vandalism. Two pieces of play equipment at Wheal Jewel Playing Field have been damaged and have been removed. This costs us, the council tax payers, money to repair, which in the current situation is difficult to find. If anyone has any information as to the identity of the vandals please contact the police or the Parish Council. Dog Mess. The Parish Council continues to get complaints concerning dog mess not being picked up. Two of the main areas for complaint are Bar-racks Lane and the private parking area by the Mills St Community Room, where somebody allows their dog to mess outside the patio doors. The majority of the complaints to the police placed in the boxes in the Post Office and shops have been about dog mess. The police are treating this as anti-social behaviour and are calling in the dog wardens. Bulky waste. Cornwall Council is introducing standard fees and services for bulky waste collection. This covers most items that are too big to be col-lected by the normal refuse collection service. There are currently dif-ferent arrangements and charges across Cornwall. The Council’s Cabinet agreed to charge one flat rate of £15 for the collection of up to four items with an additional £7.50 for each additional item and with a maximum of eight items per collection. Householders can take items for free to the Household Waste and Recycling Centres (HWRCs) in Cornwall, our nearest is at United Downs. There are many ways to recycle or reuse bulky items includ-ing charity shops, furniture recycling companies, local adverts, freecy-cle, junk swaps and car boot sales. Most companies will remove furni-ture or white goods when they deliver new replacements. Newsletter.

The newsletter which has been published jointly by the Parish Council and Action St.Day will now be published by a committee of the Parish Council. It is a big disappointment that many local clubs etc. do not make use of the newsletter to publicise their events. There is no charge to community groups and articles are always welcome. Bus Services. The First Bus service 47 has been replaced by Western Greyhound service 543 from Truro via Perranwell and now continues through Illo-gan and Portreath to Camborne, with a modified timetable. Western Greyhound still runs the 540 service 2 hourly via Chacewater to Truro. First Bus is still running the evening and Sunday services 14 and 18 through St.Day and also a bus at 8.25am to Truro College. All these services are subsidised by Cornwall Council. Services through Scorrier are not affected. Lantern Procession. Our thanks to our local artists, led by Claire Summerson and Kim Pil-grim, for their latest project of organising the Lantern Procession on St.Piran’s Day (see article elsewhere in this newsletter). It was an im-pressive display and brought together a band of helpers many of whom are new to the area. Our thanks go to all who helped to make this community event such a success. Horticulture Spring Show. Thanks to the loyal band of helpers who helped to make this a suc-cess again this year. Empty Houses. Cornwall Council is trying to get empty properties occupied to reduce housing lists. The council is able to help financially with renovations, etc. Anybody with a property which has been vacant for a long period should contact the Housing Dept at Cornwall Council. Improve your Fitness. Walk the Town Trail around St.Day (leaflets are free at the Post Office and some shops) and learn something of St Day’s past. Longer walks are detailed in a booklet ‘Walks around St.Day’ costing £1 (available as above). Spend half an hour on the exercise equipment at Wheal Jewel play-ing field and enjoy a picnic on the tables.

Superfast broadband is here!

Great news – St Day is one of the first pilot areas in Cornwall in which superfast

broadband is partly available. This means that you could now take full advantage of being at the cutting edge of technology!

Broadband speeds of up to 40Mbps could

be available to you!

It is expected that fibre optic broadband will be brought within reach of at least 80% of people in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly

by 2014, whilst we are aiming to bring faster broadband to everyone else using alternative technologies, so every single

Cornish home and business can benefit from Superfast Cornwall by the end of the programme.

Superfast broadband will revolutionise the way we all use the internet, changing the way we work and live, opening up incredible new opportunities for everyone - businesses,

communities and individuals.

Superfast Cornwall is a ground-breaking programme managed by Cornwall Development Company (Cornwall Council’s economic

development company) which is working with BT to bring superfast broadband to Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, making it

one of the best connected locations in the world.

NEWS FROM ST DAY AND CARHARRACK COMMUNITY SCHOOL Earlier in March we celebrated World Book Day with pupils and staff dressed as their favourite book character. The School Council organised a very successful secondhand book sale raising £80 towards the purchase of new books for our school library. As part of the celebrations local author Isolde Pullum came in to talk to the children about being a children’s writer. At the end of the Spring Term as part of the topic on the Tudors our children planned, prepared and held a “Tudor X Factor” which included a banquet of Tudor delights. The event which included Tudor dancing, singing and music as well as costume making of a high standard, was attended by many of our parents. A group of 12 children from our School Choir accompanied by Alison Pooley (Choir Leader) and Jo Snell were thrilled to be invited to join musicians from the community providing the harmonies for a CD called “Earth, Fire and Water” (from the people of St Day to the people of Sendai) to be sold in aid of Friends of Shelterbox (Japanese Tsunami). A big thank you to Greg Woods for making this possible. This term we will be busy preparing our Year 6 children for the move to secondary school. Children from our school have places at Redruth, Richard Lander, Pool and Penair Schools for September 2011. We are also starting our Transition Programme this month for the 20+ children joining us in Reception in September. We look forward to welcoming these new pupils and their families. We would like to extend an invitation to all community

A message from our County Councillor, Mark Kaczmarek Dear Resident I have been asked by the parish council to write a regular column in the St Day news letter which will I hope give you some insight of my role as a Cornwall Councillor and keep you informed of just what is happening in your parish and Cornwall.

Locally I regularly receive complaints about pot holes, litter and parking problems in and around the village and recently, I have by working with the parish council been able to get Cormac to patch the many pot holes and whilst doing so, clear the roads of litter . Parking is the more difficult area to sort out as the village was built long before the motor car was invented, some elderly residents especial at Mills Street rely on being able to have parking outside of their homes and have been complaining of the street now being used by others in the

village to park their private cars and work vehicles. All I ask is that the owners of these vehicles are more considerate in future.

St Day, Carharrack and Gwennap have a rich history spanning many centuries of mining metal and played a major role towards Cornwall winning World Heritage Site Status. There is now another mining operation planned out at United Downs which when works start will create a huge amount of interest from around the world.

Five-kilometer deep holes would be drilled in to the ground at St Day to reach rocks with a temperature in excess of 170 degrees centigrade.The steam from the heat will drive turbines which will generate electricity; the surplus steam then could be used to heat industrial buildings bring more employment to the area, and could even be piped to heat houses in the villages. Geothermal systems use the earth's natural heat as a power source, there is significant potential for geothermal energy to


36

encourage investment into the region and re-empower the local community. Unlike wind or wave power, which uses local resources to power the National Grid, the renewable heat generated by the geothermal plant has to be used locally and will therefore have direct positive impact on the local economy and community. I have given this project my full support and look forward to it starting early next year.

Geothermal Engineering Ltd was set up in 2008 by Ryan Law. The company's technical board includes Tony Batchelor, who ran the original Hot Rocks project in Cornwall that was in operation between 1976 and 1991.

Talking about new technologies, St Day is one of the first places in country to receive Super Fast Broadband the initial pilot areas have now been upgraded for superfast broadband these exchange areas are Leedstown, Three Waters (Chiverton Cross area), St Agnes, Portreath, St Day, Devoran, Stenalees and Par.

members to join us particularly on two occasions this term – firstly our COUNTRY FAYRE on Saturday 11th June starting at 12.30 p.m. and then our OPEN DAY on Wednesday July 6th. Look out in the village for posters. We would love to see as many of our friends from the wider community as possible at school on these days. At the time of writing our Year 3 and 4 pupils are enjoying a school camp at Carnyorth near St just where they are taking part in activities such as circus skills, wall climbing, orienteering and archery. At the end of the term our Year 5 & 6 children will be going to Porthpean Outdoor Centre for their camp under canvas. Activities for them will be focused on water sports – canoeing and sailing. We will, of course, be practising soon for Feast Day and look forward once again to a very enjoyable village day on Monday 4th July.

ST DAY PUBLIC INSTITUTE 2010-2011 SEASON (now finished)

The Snooker Club in St Day has enjoyed a very successful season in the various competitions and leagues in the Min-ing Division Snooker League. The Division 1 team finished in 4th place and the Division 2 side finished 5th. In the County Team Knockout competition the 1st team narrowly lost 3-2 to the eventual winners, W. H. Bond, of Liskeard. Terry Kempe & Chris Isaacs won the County Pairs defeat-ing the Clinton pair, Gary Bray & Graham Denning. With a resurgence of interest in billiards within the club we had three teams in the Falmouth League. This season saw St Day ‘A’ winning both the Team League and Team Handi-cap. Individually Barry Scarlett won both won the Open & Handicap titles with Joe Graham coming runner up in the latter. Barry also recorded the highest competition break of 132. The billiards team also finished runners up in the County League team championship. Charlie Gay’s outstanding achievements continued with him playing for the County 3 aside. They beat Cleveland in the final of the National Inter Counties’ Billiard Champion-ship at Nuneaton, This was the second time that Cornwall has won this contest. The first time was 103 years ago in 1908! Joe Graham’s qualification as a referee saw him officiating at several international events. He was selected to referee the prestigious English Amateur Billiards Final in Derby on the 13th March 2011.

given them as children of deceased or crippled miners’. So a high qualification in a boy’s application for work in the mine was the killing or maiming of his father, probably in the same mine! ‘Ann Williams was given a suit for her boy to go to work and pay for Ann was sus-pended’. ‘… taking the children away from the scene of their future employment’. The British Government appointed a Committee on Factory Children’s Labour and the report was published in 1832. Amongst the witnesses examined was Samuel Coulson of Leeds whose young daughters were working in the woollen mills. Here is a very short summary of his evidence. For 6 weeks in the year we got up at 2 o’clock to dress them. They started to work at 3 o’clock in the morning and ended at 10 or 10.30 at night. The common hours were 6 o’clock in the morning till 8.30 at night. They were strapped by an overlooker if they did not keep at their work. Wages in the short hours – 3s (15p) per week; in the longer hours - 3s 7½d (18p). They were not allowed to sit down. If the Committee could have extended its en-quiry into child labour in the mines of Gwennap and St Day, it might not have been so dreadful as the factories of the North, but many a harrowing tale would be unfolded. After 1848 there are no references to poverty or the poor in the Min-ute Book. Administration was passing more and more to the Board of Guardians at Redruth. It is a source of pleasure to know that by 1850 the mining districts were back to normal and in some parishes there were more jobs going than men to take them. MISCELLANY Law and Order. On the first Sunday in January, 1865, the funeral took place of a young man called Sandow. His death happened in Twelve-heads. There had been a heavy snowfall. As was customary, the cof-fin was carried by hand and the mourners walked. From Twelveheads to Chacewater Church the procession was accompanied by a number of hooligans who pestered the mourners with volleys of snowballs causing very frequent haltings of the procession to regain their hats. No wonder the Vicarage at Chacewater looks like a mediaeval for-tress (Western Morning News). Emigration to Australia. We have probably wondered what life was like on the small ships that carried the Gwennap-Australia emigrants in the 1840s. A diary of a voyage has recently been printed. The writer sailed from Plymouth on July 25th, 1839, in the ‘William Met-calfe’, a ship of 447 tons and 100 feet in length. She carried a crew of



47

26. There were 23 cabin passengers, 19 ‘intermediate’ passengers and 196 emigrants. None of them touched land again for 3½ months after a voyage of 13,000 miles. There were also on board 20 sheep, 30 pigs, 2 cows and around 180 ducks and fowls. They weighed an-chor in the Sound at 1pm, tacked on and off the breakwater till 5pm, were abreast of Falmouth at 8am next day and then spent 10 days tacking against the headwinds – including 2 full gales – trying to clear the Channel. If the voyage was unusually difficult the last days of the voyage were without animal food (Western Morning News). Robert Stephenson and the Cornish Miner. Here is a quotation from a recent biography of Robert Stephenson, son of George Stephenson of the Railway Engine ‘Rocket’ fame. ‘Stephenson went to Santa Ana (South America) in 1820 to take charge of mining for gold. His labour force totalled 160 Cornishmen and when they arrived in S. America such an orgy of drinking and debauchery took place that Stephenson received a furious letter from the Governor. He discovered the Cor-nish Miners were a wild and ungovernable class, recognising no laws but their own. Of the 160 Cornishmen not more than two-thirds were available at one time. The rest were dead drunk!’

LIVING & LEARNING IN ST DAY Action St Day Group to make St Day a better place to !live and work

Two and a half years of work have paid off and St Day is to have a whole new play area at the Wheal Jewel Playing Field. The play equip-ment that is there was well past its sell by date years ago and the Ac-tion St Day Group with the help of Scott James, Bryony Nicholls and Mervyn Smallwood of Kerrier District Council Regeneration team have put together £65,474 of funding granted by the Liveability Community Pot, Cornwall County Playing fields Association, Cory Environmental Trust, St Day Parish Council, the Neighbourhood Renewal Community Chest, Devon & Cornwall Housing, Living Spaces, the Local Network Fund, the Neighbourhood Community Chest Grant Fund, Lt. Comdr. J Mills, the St Day Jubilee Committee and the Action St Day Group. Quite a list but it’s quite a sum of money and it shows that the support is wide based. The project started with the selection of potential contractors and Rolf Necked of Kerrier DC Engineering Service provided a select list and has kept in touch with the project right through and, since the completed play area is to be maintained by KDC, he will always be in-volved. Five contractors were asked to submit a scheme and their designs were exhibited at St Day & Carharrack School to be commented on by the pu-pils and their parents. As well as being shown at the school a public display was viewed at the Action St Day Group Annual General Meeting and from the comment forms completed one contractor came out on top. The prices submitted were keen and "best value", other than just price, determined the final choice. The chosen suppliers are Company, who also supplied the play equipment at Tucking Mill. Up until recently Company were part of the Lego Group so we are dealing with people who under-stand children very well, and adults who like playing, sorry, designing with Lego. The final design is made up of eleven separate pieces that set out to appeal to young people from two or three up to fifteen or sixteen. There are two sets of swings, two twizzley sticks, these are real fun, two very modern roundabouts (one you can sit in and the other you can use in all sorts of ways), a rocking ‘wasp’, a spinning bowl, a ‘stand-up’ seesaw, a play house, come slide , come climbing frame and a mon-ster climbing frame the likes of which you will have never seen before. It is 18 feet (5.5 metres) across and about 10 feet (3 metres) tall and is certainly the most exciting piece of kit you will have seen in a long time. The whole set up is to provide interesting and challenging and exciting "FUN" and it will belong to the young people of St Day and, please can I have a go sometimes. The order for the installation has been placed and completion will be around the end of September. When it has been completed an official opening will be held with all the pupils from St Day School doing the honours. The date for the opening has yet to be fixed but there will be notices giving the date, time and place.
