Following in the footsteps of sadly discontinued The Bolster, its aim is to serve the community with updates from around the parish.
If you'd like to contribute any local news or announcements (be that a sports club, community group, or personal story), please get in touch.
At some point in the future we hope to create a printed version of the news for those not online but this will depend on the success of the online version.

Hi everyone,
We wanted to drop you a quick email about a very exciting event we’ve got coming up at the MMI.
On Saturday 11th July, we’re hosting a Live Auction Fundraising Evening and transforming the MMI into a gala venue for a truly special night to remember.
With fantastic prizes, a buzzing crowd, great food and drink, live entertainment, and a shared purpose at the heart of it all, it promises to be an unforgettable evening full of atmosphere, generosity and plenty of excitement.
We’ll have arrival drinks, photographs to capture the glitz and glam, a delicious two-course meal from Adam Vasey, a live jazz trio to set the mood, and plenty of fun surprises up our sleeves. And to top it all off, you’ll have the chance to bid on a brilliant line-up of prizes in an auction hosted by none other than Cornish comedian and actor Kernow King.
So why not get a table of friends together, come along in cocktail attire, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy a brilliant night out, and bid on some fabulous prizes?
All profits from tickets sold, and every winning bid on the night, will go towards sustainable energy solutions at the MMI, including solar, as part of our mission to keep the building open and thriving for years to come.
