Members enjoying this morning’s visit to the Art Gallery, below. Mirrors: Reflecting on Identity is a fascinating exhibition in which artists question traditional roles and challenge accepted norms. It had the added bonus of including a work by international award winning artist Bianca Cork, daughter of our member Tanji, in the company of the work of artists Grayson Perry, Maggi Hambling, Cindy Sherman, Henry Scott Tuke and many others. Our group is photographed gathered round Bianca’s self portrait. The exhibition closes on 26 September, it is strongly recommended so do catch it if you can.

Week of River Action 7th-13th September 2026

The WI has a long tradition of campaigning for the protection of our environment and in Mawnan we have regularly participated in Green Hearts Day which is held nationally to raise awareness of our concerns. We also have supported beach cleans locally and are involved in the national Clean Rivers campaign calling for meaningful change to our water system.
Many of us have enjoyed the beaches along the Helford River this summer whether on the shore or water and we invited members to take “Phone Photos” to celebrate all the work that has been done to protect it. These can be seen in the Memorial Hall.
