News from Porthleven
Porthleven will have an 80 seater cinema in a harbourside complex with a bar, family restaurant and bowling alley due to open next summer. Work is underway in the old timber store at the back of the harbour and the company which owns the building hopes to be able to upgrade the artistic attraction of Porthleven. There will be quite a large screen and at the other end of the building will be a children’s room with a smaller screen for them to watch kids’ films.
The venue’s restaurant will have more than 100 covers and is claimed to be due to offer high-quality but cheap locally sourced food. Builders are working on the internal upgrade when the tide or weather stops them from reconstructing the face of the inner harbour wall.
The director of the Cornwall Film Festival and recent chairman of the British Federation of Film Societies said independent cinemas were valuable to any community. A cinema in Porthleven would be really welcome, especially if it will be an independent cinema and perhaps a local film society could be started up or maybe community events would be great for the people.
Young people’s groups get a boost from big cash handout from lottery
One of the men behind Helston’s highly successful Phoenix Project has hailed a £10,000 boost as “brilliant news”. It was one of two major grants handed out to groups in Helston and The Lizard by the Big Lottery Fund.
The Phoenix project is based at Helston Fire Station, with other agencies such as the Police also involved. The Station Manager said it mentored young people, instilling in them a sense of aspiration, achievement and team building.
A number of courses have been held for students from Helston Community College over the years and this week’s grant will mean it can be expanded to other schools in the Helston-Lizard area.
It was announced officially when members of the Helston Phoenix Project visited the Falmouth School of Sailing. The project and the sailing school have initiated a new mentoring project which will enable local youngsters to have a day or a week’s sailing tuition as well as other maritime-based experiences.
There could also be more money on its way to Helston. The project to set up a youth cafe in the town but also for adjoining villages gas now been officially accepted by ITV’s People’s Millions award in which the public vote on a number of schemes in the south west region.
Search and Rescue Future in Question
Question marks over the future of search and rescue services at Culdrose continue, following media reports that possible privatisation, either in part or full, were still under consideration.
A scheme under the previous Labour government which would have led to a part private service was axed by the new coalition government.
However, as previously reported Helston’s MP, Andrew George remains concerned that the Ministry of Defence “wants to get shot of search and rescue” and it could therefore be transferred to the Department of Transport, a move that has led to fears that any new look privatised search and rescue service might not even be based at Culdrose. He reminded the Minister that search and rescue helicopters were needed in areas such as ours and in the south west that meant RNAS Culdrose.
Tall Ship back to safe harbour after losing masts
A Tall Ship that got into trouble off the Isles of Scilly is safely back in port after a dramatic three day rescue. The Frederyk Chopin, which had 47 Polish people on board including 36 teenagers, limped into Falmouth on Monday.
A small boat transferred people from the ship to the marina to be greeted by media, particularly from Poland. A mayday call was issued on Friday morning after it lost its mast in stormy weather. The captain of the ship, Ziemowit Baranski, blamed a “freak gust of wind”. After an alert for assistance from the coastguard in Falmouth, three vessels headed for the stricken ship 99 miles south west of Scilly.
Two container ships, Andromodar and Cornelias, sheltered the Polish registered Fryderyk Chopin from the severe weather until the Nova Spiro based in Newlyn, arrived to tow her.
The lifeboat from St Mary’s, The Whiteheads, arrived at 8 pm after a five and a half hour trip in force nine gales to reach the boat, which by then had lost its second mast.
The ship was rolling heavily in a big swell with all the rigging hanging over the starboard side, said the coxswain, whose lifeboat stayed with the boat until 7 am on Saturday. At almost 20 hours, the trip was one of the longest in recent years for the lifeboat crew.
The Nova Spiro towed the 48m vessel to Falmouth, later accompanied by Sennen Cove RNLI’s lifeboat and her volunteer crew for a 15 hour stretch until 7 am on Sunday when the Falmouth Lifeboat took over.
