I'm excited to announce the speaker for our July Meeting Ken Kelly.

WOMEN at WAR

MEET THE WOMEN WARRIORS OF BLETCHLEY PARK

This country estate housed the beating heart of Britain’s intelligence war against the Axis Powers in WW II. It was staffed - mostly by women recruited from both the armed services and high society. All were united by a sense of duty, an unwavering desire to play their part and an unimaginable commitment to secrecy.

Visitors welcome.

Step into North Cornwall art club exhibition starting on Saturday 4th July at the Memorial Hall, Padstow. Jenny, Val and myself are exhibiting.
Lots of our art explores the rugged beauty of the Cornish coast. Through vibrant acrylics, oils, pastels and watercolour. Our artists capture the raw power and quiet stillness of the sea.
We also embrace monoprinting botanical art, colourful contemporary abstract art and vibrant colourfully painted driftwood.

Adam Skerrett, Mythwalker was our first speaker in the Methodist Church. He is a great storyteller of the myths and legends from the land of Cornwall.
We all had a really nice evening and enjoyed lots of space to set up properly...

Exciting times😀
As our membership has almost doubled in the past few years, it is now time for a larger space.
We have been looked after so well at the Betjeman Centre, but have simply outgrown the available rooms.
The newly refurbished venue that we will be moving to is the Methodist Church, by the Regal Cinema.
Our inaugural meeting will be on Wednesday 24th June, from 6.30 till 9.
Myself and our enthusiastic regular ladies will be there, and visitors (£4 fee) will be most welcome.
Our speaker for the evening is Adam Skerret Mythwalker of North Cornwall

For our June meeting we welcome Adam Skerrett.

He is a wandering storyteller, recently returned from a bardic quest to walk the South West Coast Path, trailing the story-lines that run through the great myths of this land.

You are invited to hear the wonder-tale of his walk, woven into the stories of the coast.

Expect poetry, myth-telling, and adventure; for magic is afoot upon the path!
