Welcome!
Seen on the door of a church, I hope it’s true of ours…
We extend a special welcome to those who are single,
married, divorced, widowed, gay, confused, filthy rich,
comfortable, or dirt poor. We extend a special welcome
to those who are crying new-borns, skinny as a rake or
could afford to lose a few pounds. You’re welcome if you
are Cornish through and through, an incomer or just
passing through.
We welcome you if you can sing like Pavarotti or, like our
Vicar, can’t carry a note in a bucket. You’re welcome here
if you’re ‘just browsing,’ just woke up, or just got out of
prison. We don’t care if you’re more Christian than the
Archbishop of Canterbury, or haven’t been in church since
little Jack’s christening.
We extend a special welcome to those who are over 60
but not grown up yet, and to teenagers who are growing
up too fast. We welcome keep-fit mums, football dads,
starving artists, tree-huggers, latte-sippers, vegetarians
and junk-food eaters. We welcome those who are in
recovery or still addicted. We welcome you if you’re having
problems, or you’re down in the dumps, or if you don’t like
‘organised religion.’ We’ve been there too!
If you blew all your money on the horses, you’re welcome
here. We offer a welcome to those who think the earth is
flat, ‘work too hard,’ don’t work, can’t spell, or come
because grandma is visiting and insists on going to church.
We welcome those who are inked, pierced or both. We
offer a special welcome to those who could use a prayer
right now, or had religion shoved down your throat as a
kid, or got lost following the SatNav and wound up here
by mistake.
We welcome tourists, seekers, doubters, worriers… and
you!”

Have you ever wondered what makes Cornwall so special? Its’
history, folk law, legends, people?
Well, members of Camelford and District Old Cornwall Society
(CADOCS) love to hear about the history of this lovely Duchy
and the people who made it.
We meet on the second Monday of the month in Camelford Hall,
Clease Road at 7.30pm and have talks and slide shows from
experts in subjects as diverse as mining and monoliths, fishing
and farming, architecture and archaeology, boats and
benefactors, legends and lighthouses.
Our meeting on October 8th will be especially interesting, and
entertaining, as Mr Vaughan Williams will talk about Capt.
Samuel Wallis RN, of Fenteroon Farm, (just outside Camelford).
In the 1760s he set sail to circumnavigate the known world
during which time he discovered many South Sea Islands, and
was not always warmly welcomed!
On November 12th we will hear about ‘Old Wadebridge’ from
Margaret Thompson.
Members pay just £8 a year to belong to CADOCS. Visitors are
always very welcome.
We round off the evening with a raffle and a cup of tea.
Our programme of events for 2019 will be available soon, watch
this space, or see our Facebook page. If you have any questions
