---------------------------------- Protecting & Reviving Traditions The Fun Pages

Following an approach from the administrator of the Cornish Gorsedd, Colin Roberts, we have added a new page to the web site this month. It features the "Cornish Diaspora" and brings together the web sites and newsletters of Cornish Associations and Groups scattered around the World. We have also listed some groups that don't currently have a web presence and hope it won't be long before we will have news of what they are getting up to also. I hope that the members of Old Cornwall will visit the page to read their newsletters and view the web sites. To those of you who are visiting our web site as members of the Cornish Diaspora may I suggest that you first visit the article which was written by Robert Morton Nance in 1925 in which he lays out what the aims of our movement are. Some of the things which he referred to in article are now looked after by the Cornish Gorsedd which arose out of the Old Cornwall movement. You can visit the Gorsedd web site by clicking on the link in the left hand panel. Last month I mentioned that the Federation is running a competition on "Life in Cornwall in the 1950's.". This was due to end on the 30th of January, however, the Executive Committee have decided to extend the date of this competition to the end of January 2011. Click here to go to the competition page and to view some news clips which may help inspire you to take part. I have put these together, courtesy of Pathe News. The Winter Newsletter is now on-line and you can read it here If you have been recording the post boxes in Cornwall and have not sent your information in to Andrew could you do so as soon as possible in order that he can prepare his report for the Spring Meeting. Anyone is welcome to help in this task and by clicking on the letter in the postbox below you will get the details of how you can take part.
Finally, If you live in Cornwall or are just visiting, why not come along to one of our meetings. You will be made welcome and hopefully will enjoy the company and the things we get up to. Just click on the box below and choose one of our societies to get the details of their meetings. George Pritchard 6th February 2010. Web master.
