Join us for a very special evening celebrating the rich traditions and carols of Port Isaac at Truro Cathedral!

Close your eyes and transport yourself to rugged North Cornwall: nestled along a craggy coastline, the historic fishing village is a cluster of weathered cottages with smoke curling from chimneys, set against a backdrop of rolling waves and frost-tipped fields. The salty air is ringing with seasonal singing, and the beautiful Port Isaac illuminations are reflected in the harbour. A tradition kept alive by the musical director of the Port Isaac Chorale, Janet Townsend MBE.

The Federation of Old Cornwall Societies is delighted to be bringing this Port Isaac Christmas to Truro Cathedral in a free service. Featuring more than 70 singers from four community singing groups originating from this beautiful North Cornish village, come along and hear festive classics like the Sans Day Carol, and soak up local favourites with local tunes such as Love Came Down at Christmas and Hark The Glad Sound and join in with While Shepherds Watched to the Cornish Lyngham melody.

This special performance at Truro Cathedral will also feature schoolchildren from Port Isaac Academy and a lantern parade with the theme: ‘A Starry Night’ – linking in with the village’s traditional lantern parade which celebrates the spirit of Port Isaac’s community shining together and supporting each other. With local artist Caroline Cleave directing the visual content, curated with Port Isaac Heritage group, it will be an evening of shared song and tradition to remember.

One and all are warmly invited to this free service – so come and immerse yourself in a spectacular Port Isaac Christmas.

Retiring collection in aid of the RNLI and the organisers. This service has been supported by Gorsedh Kernow and other community partners.

There will be morning service on Sunday, October 26, starting at 9.30am at Dobwalls United Church.

Saltash Model Club has once again demonstrated its creative spirit and community heart, raising an impressive £750 for St Luke’s Hospice during its ninth annual charitable Model Show.

The two-day exhibition, held on Saturday and Sunday, October 4 and 5, at Ashtorre Rock, Saltash, was officially opened by former Mayor and Freeman of Saltash, Sue Hooper MBE, accompanied by her husband, John. The event was kindly sponsored by Ian Timbrell and Darren Smee.

This year’s show featured a captivating range of models — from military and civilian vehicles to sci-fi creations, RC aircraft and vehicles, and a fascinating model railway display — drawing enthusiastic visitors of all ages who share a love of craftsmanship and imagination.

Among the highlights:

Charlie Crabtree received a special award for his striking WWII tank “Matilda”, which caught the eye of Mrs Hooper. Furthermore, Charlie delighted audience with an engaging account of Matilda’s vital wartime role.

Mark Lane, a long-serving member of the club, was honoured with the Dave Lloyd Memorial Trophy, introduced this year to commemorate the late Dave Lloyd. Mark’s outstanding service — particularly in designing the club’s promotional materials — earned high praise from his peers.

Pete Mills proudly took home the Top Accumulated Score Trophy in the club’s ongoing competitions.

In a touching tribute, Mark Lloyd, son of the late Dave Lloyd, sold many of his father’s unbuilt model kits, raising additional funds for St Luke’s Hospice. Over half of the collection was sold during the event — a heartfelt testament to Dave’s legacy and the generosity of the modelling community.

Refreshments throughout the weekend were provided by Saltash Rotary Club and the Ashtorre Rock Centre, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Club chair David Parsons said: “We’re always thrilled to welcome so many visitors and share the history and techniques behind our models. “It’s especially rewarding to see young people fascinated by how these models work — it keeps the hobby alive and thriving for future generations.”

Founded over nine years ago, Saltash Model Club brings together model enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. The club meets on the last Wednesday of every month at 7.30pm at Ashtorre Rock, with additional workshop evenings every other Wednesday from 6pm. Sessions include open forums for sharing projects, tips, and techniques.
