Follow-ups from last meeting: 

Johnny - the website has been updated and the newsletters are now sorted under the date of publication.

Dot - She is getting Johnny a debit card and able to sign checks. She also proposed laddering some of the monies in the checking account since it doesn't get any interest.$3000 now for 5-7 months at highest rate available probably around 5.5-9%. Another 3000 for 1 yrs and another one for 2 yrs. That would leave us with $4000 in the account. It was moved by Dot and 2nd by Tom and passed.

Membership: Bob - New in July= 5, and Aug = 3, 290 total. Discussion about Toronto Cornish Association and John Webb was asked to wait until Global Cornish was presented.

Gathering updates: Tom - none.

Bob Wareham let us know that we are gaining members with 3 in January and 6 in

February for a total of 272. We thought that was excellent information. He would like to

know how many hits the events get on Facebook and how to find out. There was a short

Several months ago, my sweetheart, Holly, and I listened to an audiobook of "The Salt Path," by Raynor Winn. It's a memoir about her and her husband, Moth's, walk of the 630-mile South West Coast Path after they lost their home. It was a good 'listen' and a movie of it, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, is due for release May 30, 2025. Holly and I got a small taste of the South West Coast Path during a visit to Cornwall last fall, so the book expanded nicely on our experience. Surely everyone's Cornish ancestors must have spent time walking it, too. I recommend the book and eagerly await the movie. When a trailer makes me laugh and cry, I know the movie is going to be good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQ7RJCOm-c8 Is anyone else familiar with The Salt Path book? If so, what did you think of it?

Hello everyone and greetings from Cornwall!!

I recently discovered CAHS through family history contacts in the US and Tom Rusch has kindly asked me to join CAHS as a 'friend' seeing that I hail from Penzance, Cornwall. I am delighted to be able to post on your fascinating website and find out about the Cornish Heritage communities and people in the US.

The reason for posting is because my mother, Muriel Laity has recently re-published on Amazon a book about the villages of Crowlas and Ludgvan in West Cornwall. This book may be of real interest to anyone that has family connections to Ludgvan Parish or is just interested in stories, yarns and the social history of this lovely Cornish village.

The earlier edition of the book was only available for sale as a paperback in the village itself and sold out quickly so my mother (who is now…

When visiting Goldsithney in September, my sweetheart (Holly Odgers) and I wandered into the town's community center when we heard music coming from inside. It was a rehearsal of Rock Choir Cornwall, under the direction of Marcus Alleyne. Alleyne lives in Cornwall and leads seven Rock Choirs in the area.

We were excited to learn they will be performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the invitation of Distinguished Concerts International New York. My understanding is that the concert will feature other Rock Choirs from the U.K. Below are relevant links:
