The 2012 Programme is out and on the programme with members.  It will be on this web in a week or so.

 

Besides the monthly programme, we also arrange Outings and Guided Tours.  Here are the planned events for 2011.  Other Outings are arranged throughout the summer.  Members will also be contacted when new Outings are arranged or dates fixed.   Please come along and support us. All members and guests are very welcome.

Tue 17th May. King Fisher trip. This is an old but very popular regular outing.  Normally about 24 of us go up the West Looe River in two boats.  Nibbles and wine are provided at Shallow Pool, which is  well beyond Watergate, and deep in the jungle with the crocodiles and Piranah  (ha\ve I splet that right)?.  Perhaps even the odd KingFisher if we keep quiet enough! 

 

Wed 8th Jun.  Trelawne Barton Cream Tea.  Again another very popular regular. Carole Vivian is a magnificent hostess and her knowledge of local history is vast.
