Do you belong to an OCS? Are you looking to encourage new members? Maybe you should follow the example of The London Cornish Association and hold an annual dinner. The menu from 20 March 1926 lists nine course plus Tedden Tay
Who could resist such food as Teddy-rattle, Dutch sass and dinky biskeys?

Iโ€™m sharing this piece of optimism from the London Cornish newsletter. Itโ€™s by the Cornish poet,
Charles Causley

โ€œO Spring has set off her green fuses
Down by the Tamar today,
And careless, like tide-marks, the hedges,
Are bursting with almond and may

Rugby and Mining in Camborne How the miners came to play rugby for Camborne RFCโ€ฆand never leftโ€ฆ

On this date in 1998, the day after South Crofty, Cornwallโ€™s last mine closed, parades starting at Camborne and Redruthโ€™s rugby clubs culminated at the mine. Mining and rugby has always been closely linkedโ€ฆ

On this day in 1999, South Crofty closed, ending 4,000 years of tin working in Kernow. The preceding day had seen very limited celebrations of St Piran.

Today, South Crofty is returning to tin production and yesterday marked the largest celebration yet of St Piran.

Weโ€™m comin back me ansomes!

Gool Peran Lowen! The parade was brilliant, it was great to see so many of you today, not even the grey skies and small spots of rain could keep you away!

Thank you to everyone from the Federation of Old Cornwall Societies for humouring me & posing for the camera - hereโ€™s a mega thread of photos!
