Hello from the Carnival Committee!<br />

We have had two meetings this year and have been working hard to put<br />

together the events for our wonderful fun filled Carnival Week in <strong>Delabole</strong>.<br />

At our last meeting in March we were very pleased to welcome two new<br />

committee members, Lisa Bates and Mel Vercoe.<br />

Please help us carry on!!<br />

We still have some places on the committee to fill so if you would be<br />

interested in becoming a committee member, you can either call on<br />

07798587608 or send an email to info@delabolecarnival.org.uk<br />

Not long to go – are you working on your Carnival entry yet? Last year the entries were fabulous – not being biased<br />

procession the best ever, your effort is so very much appreciated....... Let’s be the talk of Cornwall again and have the<br />

longest procession ever.<br />

Part-time Traffic Warden<br />

At the February meeting of the Parish Council it was agreed to employ a part-time traffic warden for <strong>Delabole</strong> from this<br />

month onwards. I welcome this decision, as one of the key issues I have tried to address since coming into office is that<br />

of the safe access in and out of Pengelly for our Community Fire Engine. Last year there had been a spate of incidents<br />

when illegally parked cars had impeded the access which could have had life threatening consequences. There is no<br />

easy answer to the parking problems in the village, but the yellow lines which are in place are all there for good safety<br />

reasons. My hope is that by enforcing parking regulations people will be more inclined to park safely and legally, and<br />

will reduce the inconvenience and danger placed upon other road users and pedestrians every day. Double yellow lines<br />

along the edge of the road mean no waiting at any time. However, you may stop while passengers get into or out of the<br />

vehicle and to load and unload goods - ie anything that is of sufficient bulk, weight and or value that cannot be<br />

reasonably conveyed other than by vehicle. If a delivery is being carried out to a trade or business premises by a<br />

commercial vehicle this will be seen as compliant with the above. It will also be recognised that application of this<br />

definition will be dependent on the individual. For example an elderly person is unlikely to be able to carry the same<br />

items that a younger, healthier person might. Loading/Unloading involving the vehicle needs to be observed by the<br />

Traffic Warden whilst the vehicle is parked. The observation period shall be for at least five minutes for a private vehicle<br />

and 10 minutes for a commercial vehicle, and a PCN (ticket) shall only be issued if no activity is seen during this period.<br />

Single Yellow Lines along the edge of the road mean you can't wait during the times shown on the adjacent sign.<br />

However, you may stop while passengers get into or out of the vehicle and to load and unload as above. Pedestrian<br />

Crossing Zig-Zags – you must not park on a pedestrian crossing or in the area covered by the zig-zag markings. These<br />

markings are installed specifically to maintain pedestrian safety Yellow zig-zag markings outside schools indicate the<br />

length of road where you should not stop, not even to pick up or set down children or other passengers. These markings<br />

are to ensure that children can see and be seen clearly when crossing the road. If you have any questions about<br />

regulations or appeals process, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me.<br />

Alison’s putting an item of clothing she no longer needs<br />

someone who could horde for Englan Cornwall, I could<br />

certainly learn a lesson from that!<br />

<strong>Delabole</strong> School<br />

This Term has been extremely busy at <strong>Delabole</strong> School with our children taking part in so many memorable experiences.<br />

The most memorable milestone for our children was the residential visit to London. What a fantastic experience it was<br />

and the children were superb ambassadors for the school. Meanwhile, the Year 5 and 6 pupils who remained in school<br />

were lucky enough to experience a drama workshop with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Treviglas School in<br />

Newquay. They were then mesmerized by a performance of ‘The Tempest’. It is my absolute pleasure to inform our<br />

community that since that experience, our school has become an affiliated school to The Royal Shakespeare Company<br />

as a result of our pupils’ commitment and skills on the day. This means that two members of staff will have the<br />

opportunity to train with the RSC to deliver the highest quality drama and English skills.<br />

Other news includes the extraordinary Garden Project being run by our KS1 pupils in collaboration with some very<br />

talented members of our local community. As always, the enthusiasm, energy and sheer determination of our local<br />

families and trades will help the children to realise their beautiful ideas for a wildlife and sensory garden in the school<br />

grounds.<br />

Many of our friends and neighbours will have noticed that a new perimeter fence has gone up over the past few weeks<br />

and the front of the school continues to look even smarter. This also means a huge improvement in levels of safety which<br />

is paramount on our busy road. We hope that you agree that the school is beginning to look like a community building<br />

we can all be proud of.<br />

Finally, the school had a very significant monitoring visit from a school improvement officer linked to the Regional<br />

Schools Commission at the start of March. He has validated the judgements of the leadership team and acknowledged<br />

that standards at the school have risen dramatically over the past months. Truly, the <strong>Delabole</strong> School community can<br />

be proud of its achievements.<br />

(children’s playtime, in Cornish)<br />

At last it’s <strong>April</strong>! It’s nearly the Easter holiday and hopefully the start of<br />

much nicer weather so that we can go outside exploring and investigating.<br />

This is the time of year when new life is starting everywhere. One of the<br />

things that we might then notice is lots of different kinds of eggs. Not only<br />

birds lay eggs of course – what else can you think of that lay eggs?<br />

What lays<br />

these?<br />

Or these?<br />

These eggs are<br />

from a creature<br />

with a shell.<br />

This<br />

creature<br />

can fly<br />

Can you work out what laid which egg?<br />

Some eggs are very small, you may need a magnifying glass to see them<br />

properly. Most insect and amphibians don’t make homes for their eggs, or<br />

look after them, but birds do. They make nests out of wool, twigs, mud,<br />

moss and lots of other things, to keep their eggs safe. If you find a nest<br />

hidden in your garden or a hedge, please don’t touch it, or the eggs inside<br />

– if you do the mother bird may leave them and the eggs will die. Just<br />

watch from a distance and you may see the chicks hatch, feed, grow and<br />

fly away. As it’s nearly Easter, enjoy your Easter eggs and leave the wild<br />

birds to look after their eggs! J

An Easter Tale: the Women’s View<br />

It was still dark when we got up - not that any of us had slept much, it was a restless night going over and over what<br />

had happened - it had all been so quick and so unexpected, so beyond our control. Was there something we could<br />

have done, to keep him away from the city; to protect him from the authorities; to persuade him of a different way of<br />

doing things? But we never thought it would come to this - nailed up there, right in front of us!<br />

We had travelled with him, cared for him and listened when we could and now this one final task of preparing his body<br />

for burial was all that remained to be done and so we gathered the spices, the cloths and the water jars and set out for<br />

the place we had seen him laid, before the Sabbath had begun and confined us to our lodgings. We pulled our shawls<br />

over our heads, afraid to be seen, afraid of the authorities who had done this to him - would we, be next? Afraid of<br />

trespassing, we didn’t know this wealthy man who had carried the body of our Rabbi to this place: we didn’t have his<br />

permission to be there. Were we afraid of our task? No, we were used to death, had seen it before, but this was a<br />

fearful death and we were not at home in safe and familiar surroundings, but in this strange garden in the misty half-light<br />

of early dawn - we were jumpy, who could deny it, but once we were there with the dear body of our Lord, then we would<br />

be fine, in a way it was a comfort, one last thing we could do for him.<br />

We were worried about the stone - two of us had seen it rolled to seal the entrance and it was huge - would we be able<br />

to move it? And if not, what then?<br />

And so we arrived at the place, but something wasn’t quite right. In the growing light we could see that the great stone<br />

was pushed to one side and the entrance of the tomb was open. With relief we rushed to the doorway, but relief quickly<br />

turned to apprehension as, with a movement in the gloom of the interior, it dawned on us that someone was here before<br />

us!<br />

My heart was pounding as my eyes adjusted and in the light from the doorway. I could see a young man in white, I<br />

scanned the room - where was Jesus’ body? We were all panicking now, hands clutching at one another, struggling to<br />

comprehend - he spoke and we did hear, but barely understood, his words seemed so …so unbelievable,<br />

incomprehensible, Risen? Tell the others he is risen?<br />

To be honest, we lost it - can you blame us? We turned and ran out of the tomb through the dew-soaked garden, down<br />

the narrow streets of the city. We ran for our lives and didn’t stop to speak to a soul until we were safe home again in<br />

our lodgings, door slammed behind us. Time to catch our breath, to look around, to think. What did he say? Risen?<br />

Did you hear him say risen? Risen! This changes everything!<br />

154th Chapel Anniversary<br />

We did have a fantastic day for our birthday - well, when I say ‘day’, it actually included most of the week-end and<br />

involved hours of work. Marie was there at 9am on Saturday arranging flowers, moving chairs and preparing (!). We<br />

did stop mid-morning for coffee and biscuits, although Mary ate one of the carrots she was peeling instead and Marie<br />

said her dentist had said she wasn’t allowed to munch on one. Marion was up at 5am on Sunday cooking, Marg<br />

seemed to be constantly in the thick of things, whilst Barbara remained serenely calm (ish). The rest of us mucked in<br />

and did what we were asked to do. So THANK YOU (1st) to everyone who helped in any way.<br />

During the day, we were reminded that 154 years ago Queen Victoria was on the throne, life was very different and yet<br />

our forefathers by some miraculous means managed to make sacrifices to find the funds and determination to form<br />

Christian congregations and places of worship in our village. It’s good for us to stop and consider all those hundreds<br />

of villagers who have gone before us and maintained the faith. THANK YOU (2nd) to all those we recall and all those<br />

we never knew.<br />

Morning Worship on Sunday was led by Mrs. Sue Ede, who did a totally excellent job. THANK YOU (3rd), Sue - you<br />

make it look so effortless and I know the PowerPoint was being a pig to start with. Where she gets her ideas from is a<br />

wonder. The talk was split into three short sections and included needing me to lie across a chair whilst Nicky taught<br />

me to swim and Viv had to wheel an imaginary wheelbarrow across an imaginary tightrope. I was so engrossed with<br />

her acting that I dropped my ‘playing’ glasses through the organ pedal-board and had to scramble around on the floor<br />

in order to fish them out (covered in fluff). Viv was being interviewed by Barbara and was trying to convince her to sit<br />

in the wheel barrow and be pushed across the tightrope. You needed to be there to appreciate it. The message was<br />

remembrance of and gratitude for the past and trust and faith in God for the future. We ended with the hymn ‘Your<br />

hand, O God, has guided your flock from age to age’.<br />

Next came our celebration dinner. It was great to see everybody enjoying<br />

themselves and chatting to their neighbours. THANK YOU (4th) to all those<br />

who came and supported the occasion. Also THANK YOU (5th) to all those<br />

who organised lunch - you were truly marvellous.<br />

By the time everyone had picked up the debris, there was an hour to spare at<br />

home before it was ‘turn around’ and get supper ready for after the concert.<br />

The feet were beginning to feel the strain by then but we did have<br />

reinforcements when Daphne, Hilary and Wendy turned up trumps. THANK<br />

YOU (6th). It would be good to have a second team to take over in the<br />

evening - perhaps next year some of you might like to volunteer?<br />

The 6 o’clock Songs of Praise was well attended and led again by Sue who’d<br />

researched various hymns that might be chosen and where they ranked in<br />

the popularity stakes. Maria and Stuart did manful (am I allowed to use that<br />

word?) work at the organ and piano - THANK YOU (7th) both - and the<br />

congregation didn’t do a bad job either!! THANK YOU (8th).<br />

This was followed at 7.30pm with a concert by Nankersey Male Choir and Roger Nicholls and Stuart. If you weren’t<br />

there you missed a treat. It was the nicest concert I’ve been to for some while - relaxed and definitely entertaining. The<br />

Choir’s repertoire was engaging, the accompanist, Michael Uren, knew what he was about and the Musical Director,<br />

Elaine Tangye (who also conducts the Trelawney Choir) had things well in hand and had already worked with many<br />

of the men from other choirs who all joined together for the final rousing Morte Christe. THANK YOU (9th) all.<br />

What can I say about Roger and Stuart? They brought flair, talent and total enjoyment to the proceedings - plus having<br />

us in stitches. Roger even included a monologue by <strong>Delabole</strong>’s talented comedian, the late Boxer Rowe, who travelled<br />

far and wide with The Optimists Concert Party. There were shouts of ‘More!’ when they finished and we were treated<br />

to an encore which Stuart had never played before but he improvised along and Roger had us all joining in with gusto.<br />

Really, really THANK YOU(10th) both.<br />

Then we have Eva Paynter, who chaired the concert and what an excellent job she did - putting everyone at ease and<br />

delivering memorable stories including the one about … no I’d better not tell you, in case she wants to use it again. It<br />

also turned out that she’d visited many parts of the globe with Elaine whilst they were travelling with the Cornwall Choir.<br />

THANK YOU (11th) Eva.<br />

The concert was very well attended - which you’re never sure about nowadays - but people came from far and wide.<br />

including some members of the Stowford Meadow Singers. So, THANK YOU (12th) to all who made the effort to be<br />

there. I’m confident that you enjoyed it.<br />

Tricia gave the vote of thanks - THANK YOU (13th) - and we all applauded loudly in response.<br />

Some of the helpers<br />

After the supper was served, Diana (our Treasurer, who was very pleased with the financial outcome and says THANK<br />

YOU (14th) to everyone for their generosity - but we do need to order more heating oil), Eva and a few old friends,<br />

congregated around the table and were able to reminisce about their childhood at Dizzard. It really was a happy<br />

occasion!<br />

We arrived home at 11pm (ish). It had been a long couple of days - but as Granny used to say, ‘It’s better to wear out<br />

than rust out!’<br />

Tintagel Orpheus Male Voice Choir<br />

The choir held its first concert of the year, together with The Minstrel Choir, to an enthusiastic audience in St Genny’s<br />

Church on Saturday, 4 th March.<br />

The following day, to celebrate St Piran’s Day, some members of the choir performed at the Tintagel Arms Hotel. An<br />

afternoon of hearty, sing-a-long Corrnish songs was enjoyed by customers and choir members.<br />

Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 29 th from 12.25pm onwards, sees us competing at The Hall For Cornwall in Truro in the International<br />

Male Voice Choir Festival. We are placed in the category for choirs with fewer than 40 members.<br />

As part of this festival, Tintagel is ‘hosting’ a concert on Sunday, 30 th <strong>April</strong>, starting at 7.30pm in Bude Central Methodist<br />

Church. Three other choirs will take part with us, Wadebridge Male Voice Choir, Hampshire Police Male Voice Choir<br />

and Melbourne (Australia) Welsh Male Voice Choir. 139 choristers promise a ‘night to remember’. There are still some<br />

tickets available.<br />

Looking ahead, on Sunday, 7 th May at 7.30pm we are at St Kew Church for their Flower Festival.<br />

This year, instead of our ever popular Cabaret evening, we are putting on a ‘Variety Concert’ at Otterham Village Hall.<br />

Loosely themed around the ‘swinging 60s’, entertainment will be provided by choir members with solo performances,<br />

duets, groups and the full choir. Refreshments will be a pasty supper followed by various gateaux. Please bring your<br />

own wine and glasses.<br />

Booking essential as numbers are limited. Tickets at £10 can be ordered through our Hon. Secretary, John Sadler on<br />

01840 212583.<br />

Any other enquiries to the Chairman, Bob Metters on 01840 212736.<br />

At the time of submitting this article, the choir is due to compete in the Wadebridge Music Festival on Friday, 10 th March<br />

from 7.45pm onwards.<br />

STOP PRESS. Tintagel choir performed well at the Wadebridge Music Festival and carried off the cup,<br />

beating Wadebridge in the Male Voice Choir section.<br />

Roscarrock Revival.<br />

We will again be presenting two performances of their ‘Tenebrae’ concerts, which tells the story of Easter in music and<br />

narration.<br />

On Palm Sunday, 9 th <strong>April</strong>, at The Bodmin Christian Centre at 7pm and on<br />

Good Friday, 14 th <strong>April</strong> in St Teath Church, again at 7pm.<br />

‘Tenebrae’ was very moving and well received last year. This year we have introduced some small changes to the<br />

music which we are sure will further enhance the listening experience. Looking forward to seeing you there.<br />

and how it was funded - but if<br />

Memories of <strong>Delabole</strong> - Part One<br />

Our next instalment of memories of <strong>Delabole</strong> comes from the late Mr. Jack Stephens.<br />

A few weeks ago, I received a parcel from David and Edwina (they’re settling into their new home) who’d been<br />

unpacking some boxes and found Mr. Stephens’ collection of reminiscences and thought ‘The <strong>Slate</strong>’ would find them<br />

interesting.<br />

Many of you may remember Mr. Stephens as a teacher here at <strong>Delabole</strong> and a former Head of Camelford Primary<br />

School but his youth was spent growing up in the village. In fact, my mum and dad, Hazel (Hill) and Cyril Hicks, were<br />

in the same class at <strong>Delabole</strong> Primary as Jack Stephens and his future wife, Nancy Popplestone, the daughter of the<br />

then Head of the school.<br />

I haven’t been able to ask permission to use these extracts from his recollections, which we hope to include in the next<br />

few issues, but if you’re a relative of the Stephens’ family I hope that you’re happy to share these memories that bring<br />

the village’s past to life. Helen<br />

My father was William Alan Stephens, the son of John Stephens, a butcher who owned his own business in the village<br />

of <strong>Delabole</strong>. My mother, who came from Torpoint, was called Kathleen, the daughter of John Bull, a naval officer.<br />

They met when mother moved to <strong>Delabole</strong> as a teacher in charge of the Girl’s Department at <strong>Delabole</strong> County School.<br />

My father had served in the Artillery throughout the First World War and he was an accomplished horseman, having<br />

dealt largely with horses which were used to pull the heavy guns. As a result of the constant firing he became profoundly<br />

deaf later in life.<br />

They married in December 1919.<br />

I was born in 1921 at Claremont, High Street, <strong>Delabole</strong>. I don’t think we lived there for long as the only memories of my<br />

very young days was of life in a cottage. This would have been 3 Tor View Terrace, High Street, which was the largest<br />

of a row of four cottages owned by my Grandfather and situated at the rear of his house, Tor View.<br />

In the first cottage lived Mr. and Mrs. D. Haynes and their son, Kenneth, who became my best friend. Mr. Haynes was<br />

the village cobbler and his shop was a tin hut on the opposite side of the road on a bank just outside the Fair Field. In<br />

the second cottage lived Mr. Spry, who was a quarry worker, with his wife and daughter, Gladys.<br />

Gladys’ claim to fame was that she never travelled outside the village until when in her fifties, she had to visit Plymouth<br />

for treatment to her eyes. On returning, her comment was that Plymouth was a terrible place and that she wouldn’t go<br />

there again – and she didn’t.

Free Lessons at Camelford Martial Arts Clubs<br />

If you have ever thought about giving Martial Arts a go but<br />

never had the chance, Camelford Karate, Judo and Aikido<br />

Clubs are offering a first lesson free for any Child or Adult<br />

wanting to give a Martial Art a try. You don’t need to have<br />

done any training before and all ability levels are<br />

welcome. The Clubs are all run ‘not for profit’ which<br />

means the training fees are used just to cover the cost of<br />

the training hall and any remaining funds are used for the<br />

benefit of the club.<br />

All are taught by Shihan (Master) Roger Tarrant 6th Dan<br />

black belt in both Shotokan Karate & Aikido, and a 3rd<br />

Dan black belt in Judo supported by numerous Black Belt<br />

instructors. Roger has also taught the Police and<br />

American Armed Forces, as well as numerous selfdefence<br />

courses. Shihan Roger established the clubs<br />

twenty years ago when there were very few Martial Arts<br />

clubs in the area and is the highest qualified Multi<br />

Disciplined Instructor in Cornwall for Martial Arts which<br />

teach the traditional pure form of each discipline.<br />

Camelford Shotokan Karate club is held at Sir James<br />

Smith’s School on a Tuesday at 6pm for Juniors and 7pm<br />

for Adults.<br />

The Aikido club and Judo club are held at Camelford<br />

Leisur Centre on a Monday and Wednesday respectively,<br />

both beginning at 7pm.<br />

The evenings are a fun way to get fit and build confidence<br />

whilst learning effective self-defence. The Club is looking<br />

to build on current numbers and are looking forward to<br />

some new beginners, so why not give it a go! Just turn up<br />

on the evening of your choice and join in for a free ‘taster<br />

session’.<br />
