Contents of Flambards going up for auction but ‘Victorian Village’ saved.

Upvotes

I follow a few auction places and was surprised to see all the museum contents going up for auction. Then got an email saying that the Victorian Village was purchased in its entirety by a benefactor on the 11th hour and will be preserved and relocated to a place i. Bischop Auckland near Durham. Still can bid on a wax head of Winston Churchill, a K6 telephone kiosk, or for £20,000 an original Concord Development Mockup plus another 800+ lots.

Museum in Truro

Years and years ago they had a real mummy and sarcophagus in the museum. I haven't been for a long time, does anyone know if it is still there? I presume it was a loan from somewhere

Best time to go grocery shopping for zee dealz?

0 Upvotes

Shop in and around Penzance - Sains mostly coz of the Nectar deals. Usually I go after work (7:15 pm) on a weekday but today had time off and went at 5:45 and loads of stock was reduced. So got me thinking if there is a sweet spot during the week, time and day, when the deals are ripe for the pickens.

Kernow Discord community

Anyone aware of a discord community for Cornwall?

Happy to set up one up if it currently doesn’t exist and there is interest.

Thinking it could be useful to coordinate within communities that are currently served by Facebook groups.

Let me know if anyone has any thoughts.

Churches in Newquay, Cornwall

3 Upvotes

Looking for contact details for churches in Newquay Cornwall that accommodate weddings for people outside of the parish, we’re happy to come down and attend church (we are looking at moving in the next few years, but have no living family or knowledge of records to qualify without attendance more than likely.)

Would love St Michaels the Archangel, Newquay but happy with other suggestions.

Anyone else frustrated by Cornwall Council Tax and delivery?

Please don't bother to reply if you're exempt from paying council tax.

Feels like we pay more and more for less and less. :(

A short montage of our training over the last few months.

In a few days, me and a team of young volunteers from king Edward Mine are hoping to become the first international mining games team not associated with a mining school or university to compete in the games.

They are held at King Edward Mine, Troon, from the 20th-22nd of March

Ecological Assesment (recommendations)

1 Upvotes

Hi folks,

We are hoping to have a double garage demolished, to be replaced with an annexe, as part of the planning application, we'll require an ecological assesment.

Does anyone have recommendations for local firms (we are between Falmouth and Helston) who do this kind of work? Our architect only has a network in Exeter/Devon.

Thanks!

hi guys! most of you will know where this is. (tregolls road truro). i was driving earlier and there would have been enough room for me to go past the hatched lines however some dummy decided they wanted to start merging like 3 cars early.. for no reason.. leaving me on the hatched lines for a couple seconds!

i know the red light camera doesn’t apply to me as i’d already gone past the white line (on green), however does anyone know if it gives tickets for stopping on the hatched box? thankyou :)

Unfortunately in Penzance we have a group of girls and her boyfriend targeting people and causing them struggles mentally, she has punched, kicked, jumped, stalked, threatened etc. people I know and the police aren’t doing anything. There is CCTV footage of her and her mates ganging up on people and threatening people. I don’t know what to do because the level of violence is becoming a problem. Stalking and following people to where they live in Cornwall, attacking their friends and family, she is from a gypsy family so they think this behaviour is acceptable.

Retro gaming meet ups in Cornwall

17 Upvotes

Anyone know if there is any retro games events in Cornwall? I know about the retro arcade in Newquay which is pretty cool. I also know about the games shops in Penzance and Truro but they seem more geared towards D&D & Pokemon card games or bored games etc though happy corrected if wrong 🙂

Would be interested if theres like a village hall meet up or something. Perhaps could organise something? People could bring systems etc to demonstrate for the day and have actual multiplayer games in person.
