Town Forum meets
THE next meeting to the Looe Town Forum to which all members of the public are welcome to attend and participate, is on Wednesday, April 24, at the Community School, at 7pm.
Boat Owners
Association
THE newly formed Looe Boat Owners Association will be meeting on Wednesday next, April 10 at 8pm at Looe Sailing Club. The organisation exists to further the interests of boating of all kinds in Looe and is open to all owners of boats kept in the port.
The Association wishes to be a sounding board for the views of boat owners who it will represent with the various local authorities, including the Harbour Commissioners. It plans to be interested in contributing to the debate on all the potential changes in the town which will affect boat owners, and is also likely to promote ideas of its own.
Chairman Dave Peat said: 'It's early days for the Association and we need all our members to help shape it for the future. We especially welcome Looe boat owners who aren't yet members but who want learn more about us'. For further details contact the Membership Secretary, Richard Gegg, on 01503 272180.

Fears for swans
A concerned Looe resident has contacted the police over her fears for the safety of the swans on the port's river. She has encountered on several occasions a number of youngsters throwing stones at the swans at the Polean end of Millpool, and is particularly concerned about one of the birds which seems to be targeted more than the others, because it is usually alone.
She is appealing for anyone who sees the swans being worried to contact the police as soon as possible.
'It is a disgrace that these youngsters have nothing better to do than to worry these wonderful creatures' she said.
