John Harry's Christmas medley will be stories and poems, mostly in dialect,

Members’ Night

Members' night consists of our own members doing their "party pieces". We usually have some dialect stories, maybe a poem in dialect and some kind of sketch. So far no-one has sung, but I don't rule that out as we now have a working piano in the hall. Refreshments such as sandwiches and bits of cake are served with a cup of tea afterwards.

St Ives Museum is run by enthusiastic local volunteers who are on hand to tell you everything you could want to know about the history of this West Cornwall town. The museum has a wonderful collection of art, mining, fishing, railway and farming artefacts, and old toys. There is also a replica of a traditional Cornish kitchen, a display of Victorian clothing and a fascinating insight into the history of the Hain Steamship company. It is a must for anyone interested in Cornish history.
