2023 St IVES COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS CHRISTMAS DINNER

A 'thank you' to but a fraction of the many who gave freely of their time throughout the year to help others, only made possible by the generosity of the Pedn Olva Hotel and staff. Cork an Barbor, here singing Harry Glasson's rousing ode to Cornwall's proud industrial heritage, provided wonderful cabaret .
HARRY’S SONG FOR CORNWALL (Harry Glasson)
When I sing of Cornwall, there's one way to begin
To tell the story of the men of copper, fish and tin
From the sea that's all around us, to way below the ground
The memory of these mighty men is gathered all around
(Chorus)
Let’s hear it for Trelawny may his army never die
Let's hear it for Trevithick with his engine steaming by
Let's hear it for the farmers and for the fishermen
Let's hear it for the miners who we hope will mine again
From the engine houses, scattered round Carn Brea
To the white St Austell landscape sculpted in the china clay
From the harbours here at Newquay, at St Ives and at Looe
The lighthouse on the Wolf Rock shows what Cornish lads can do
(Chorus)
Cornwall’s past is mighty, it was built by mighty men
And as Cornishmen we hope those times will come again
Or do we let our mining and fishing round us fall?
Not if we stick together with our motto “One and All”
(Chorus)
Now when you cross the Tamar into this promised land
There's one thing to remember, one thing to understand
Cornwall's not a county, just sited in the west
Cornwall is a COUNTRY
The one we love the best.

That looks like so much fun! That's the Cornwall I remember! Who's that handsome guy at 0:53? Say hi to Heather!

[@Cornishpastyman]

No idea, he must have blagged his way in.

[@debra13]

Lol- clearly, had to look up "blagged." We don't use such terms over here! He did a good job though! @@Cornishpastyman
