A total of £105 was raised for funds.

The League will next be represented at St Matthews Fair on September 29, and will also be holding a coffee morning at Stuart House, Liskeard, on October 18 from l0am until noon.

Guitar for

the adults

ANTHONY Rose, a Gunnislake-based guitar teacher and folk singer, is presenting two courses on playing the guitar for the Caradon Adult Education Centre in Liskeard.

The beginners course takes the student through stages from simply holding the guitar to accompanying songs using seemingly complex playing styles. The second course builds on the techniques and skills acquired during the beginners course and develops these further to enhance the knowledge of the guitarist.

The courses are running at Liskeard School.

CARADON council's senior housing officer Russell Hale (left) is pictured with Francis Bassett of the Lake Lane Estate Tenants and Residents Forum. The forum held an exhibition and discussion centre in the Scout headquarters at Castle Park to talk about parking problems in the estate. It is thought proposals outlining a solution to the problems may well be drawn up by next month. County councillor Mike Gillbard said residents and Caradon and Cornwall councils are working together to find solutions. One answer, apparently, could be converting green spaces on the estate into parking areas. However, responses to a questionnaire on the matter would be analysed as part of the proposals.
