Pillaton Village News
No. 210 November 2020
As I write this editorial, due to the pandemic, we
are still in the middle of lockdown with future arrangements
unknown. I imagine a prisoner sitting out a sentence in
Wormwood Scrubs (not that I have any personal knowledge) must experience
something similar. Life is a bit dull and monotonous, and he hopefully awaits the
verdict of the parole board in December. Even more grounds for optimism is that
new evidence (in the form of a vaccine) has been found which may eventually
lead to his acquittal.
In recent days I’ve been experiencing an earworm. Not an unpleasant tropical
disease, but a catchy tune that keeps repeating itself in your head. It’s always easy
to remember the first few words of the song, but then all the rest is ‘la, la, la.’
Speaking of another earworm, there’s always Brexit (I’m sure I’ve mentioned this
subject in the past), but let’s just hope someone can finish the lyrics soon.
In early November we saw the US election play itself out, with victory for Joe
Biden over Donald Trump. I wonder whether Mr Trump would now appreciate
a conciliatory tweet, along the lines of, ‘It’s the taking part that really counts.’
In this country we don’t tend to like bad losers, possibly because we never seem
to win crucial penalty shootouts in the football and until recently, when we
started to take everything seriously, achieve anything in the Olympics. All the
time I was growing up the most team GB ever seemed to aspire to, was a Bronze
in the modern pentathlon or a medal in the dinghy sailing. Then of course there
is the Eurovision Song Contest - talk about rigged elections and voter fraud,
its MASSIVE! Perhaps the UK should have gone to the European Court of
Justice back in 1968 when there were allegations of bribery by General Franco’s
government. Cliff Richard and ‘Congratulations’ might have actually won. Just as
a matter of interest the Spain’s winner that year was ‘La, La, La.’
Of course, Christmas is now fast approaching. I don’t envy the Government with
the decisions they have to make next month. Can they risk a travel corridor to
the North Pole; has anyone confirmed that Santa’s toy factory is Covid secure
and have the elves maintained rigorous strict social distancing in their support
bubble. Fortunately, we won’t quite have left the EU so there is no risk of Santa’s
sleigh having to park up in a Kent lorry park to clear customs, with veterinary
checks made on the reindeer to ensure they fulfil livestock regulations. Anyway
I’m sure it will all work out in the end and the presents will arrive on time.....
just remember to remove the Amazon packaging!
The next copy date is 11 January 2021 - full details on page 23, and as this is the
last issue before Christmas, Seasons Greetings to all readers of the Village News.

Minutes of PARISH COUNCIL Meeting 6 OCT 2020 ATTENDANCE Cllrs Dolley, D Floyd, S Floyd, Warne, and Bridgman. APOLOGIES County Councillor Adam Sturtridge. COOPTION OF NEW COUNCILLORS Following a ballot Mr I. Bunkum and Mr G. Moore were co-opted as Councillors. PUBLIC FORUM There were eight members of the public present. Mr Edwards accused the Council of failing to have drains cleared, not having the roads swept, failing to seek the cooperation of the farmer from whose fields water was draining (all of which lead to flooding at the top of the Village) printing false minutes and coercion by the Chairman. It was explained to Mr Edwards that he was incorrect in his assumptions and that all members of the public could inform Highways of blocked drains. Concern was expressed from the floor that any attempt by Cornwall Highways to prevent a recurrence of flooding at the top of the Village must not result in creating a problem further down the Village. The Chair assured the public that the Parish Council were aware of the danger of transferring the problem and would work closely with Cornwall Highways in any alleviation of flooding works. ELECTION OF CHAIR AND VICE CHAIR Cllr Warne was unanimously elected as vice chair. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST None. MINUTES The minutes of previous virtual meetings were accepted unanimously. MATTERS ARISING None. DEFIBRILATOR The Council agreed to take over the guardian role of the defibrillator and Cllrs Warne and Bunkhum kindly offered to carry out the necessary checks. PLAY PARK a. The Council agreed to place an order with Wicksteed Ltd in the sum of £13,360.19(net of VAT) to be paid £11,029.44 from the Howton Solar farm grant and £2,330.75 from funds held by the Council. b. The Council agreed to place an order with Andrew Inglefield in the sum of £970.56 for safety matting to be paid from the Howton Solar farm grant. PLANNING PERMISSION Planning: PA20/06886 Conversion of barn into residential unit at Briston Orchard for Mr B Mills was approved by the Council. 6
LETTERS OF COMPLAINT FROM Mr I EDWARDS
The Council noted Mr Edwards’s allegations of the Council contributing
to flooding, making a false statement, coercion, concealment, deceit and
malpractice. The Council agreed a written response to Mr Edwards refuting the
allegations.
FINANCE
The meeting approved a payment of £239.30 to Andrew Inglefield for repair of play
equipment.
ANY OTHER BUSINESS
The Clerk was requested to
a. Ask Cornwall Highways to maintain the verge and trees at Briars Ryn.
b. To check the salt bins.
c. To suggest to the Village Hall Committee the moving of trees from the
bottom of the playing field.
d. To contact the County Councillor with a view to examine overhanging trees

in any such examination.
Chairman: Mr Dave Dolley

PUMPKIN
FESTIVAL
One of the very few village events to
take place this year was the Pillaton
Gardening Club’s annual Pumpkin
Festival on Sunday 25 October.
With the recent run of seemingly
persistent rain the event was perhaps
fortunate to be blessed with dry
conditions. This was especially
important as due to the pandemic
the festival had to held outside the
Village Hall to allow families to carve
their pumpkins on socially distanced
tables. On the day a total of 34
pumpkins were used.
Special thanks go to Ian Edwards
for growing the pumpkins, to the
Gardening Club committee for
preparing them and to all those who took part. See you next year.

VILLAGE
HALL
100 CLUB
The first draw for the above took place
on Monday 9 November and was drawn
by Trina from The Weary Friar.
The prize fund was £99 and the winning
number is 16. The lucky winner is Pete
Francis.
We are very pleased to say that we
managed to reach our target of 100
tickets and we would like to thank all
of you who have participated in this
monthly draw to help raise funds for the maintenance and upkeep of the Village
Hall. The very slightly lower amount for this month’s prize was due to fact that
the overall prize fund had not been
completely paid up at the time of the
draw. All future 100 Club prizes for the
next year will be the full £100.
Currently the membership is now
closed. If, however, you wish to
contribute in the future and be placed
on the waiting list, please contact
Chris Ley either by email (chris@
chrisley.plus.com) or mobile: 07972
817086.
The December draw will take place on
MONDAY 7 DECEMBER.
Trina with the winning ball, number 16.
10CHRISTMAS DRAW
To enable us to raise some much needed funding for the Village Hall, which
is once again closed due to the latest lockdown. Helen Smith has arranged a
Christmas Draw with a First Prize of £150 (which has been donated) and this
will take place on FRIDAY 18 DECEMBER, hopefully in the Village Hall.
We would like to thank all the people/local businesses (as listed below) who have
kindly donated raffle prizes for this event, for their support and generosity:
Plymouth Gin, Howells Butchers, Trehill Farm Shop,
Smeaton Farm, Tamar Fresh, Crocadon Good Earth Growers,
Paul the Fishman, Popham Alpacas, Greenhouse Spa Retreat,
Tartendown Nurseries, West Country Baskets,
Riverford Organic, Dundee Cake.
All the prizes have been donated so that the money raised is clear profit for the
Village Hall and its general upkeep/maintenance/oil/insurance etc.
Tickets are £5 for a book of five tickets and are available from all Village Hall
Trustees as follows:
Lesley Allibone 208562 Dave Dolley 350159
Robin Dwane 351560 Shirley Floyd 350683
Ann & Brian Henderson 351289 Carole Hoskin 350063
Peter Johnson 351409 Jo King 350890
Chris Ley 351033 Helen Smith 350147
Sue White 350065
Any remaining tickets will be sold around the village during December.
It is not yet clear when the Social Committee will be able to start fund raising
again, so the above two fund raisers have been a tremendous help to keep the
hall going at this difficult time.

11THE BIG CHRISTMAS
LIGHTS SWITCH ON
This is a follow on from Jenny’s brilliant idea to illuminate the
village at Christmas time with as many lights and decorations
as we can find and we were wondering whether we could all
switch our lights on at the same time.
The suggested date is, SATURDAY 12 DECEMBER at 6.00 pm
(if you wish to switch your lights on prior to that date, it doesn’t
matter), but it would be good on that evening if we could all switch our lights on
at the same time!
The tree outside the Weary Friar is going to be decorated again this year by Ann,
Giles, Charlie & Michelle and it would be great to make this the starting point.
It would be lovely to see the village illuminated at 6.00 pm.
In view of the latest announcement we felt this might also be an opportunity
to have a catch up with our neighbours as we used to do for the NHS clap on a
Thursday evening. There could be a surprise visitor!!
Please check the Facebook Page and the Pillaton.org website for further details.

12O come, all ye faithful...
but please keep 2m apart!!
“Tis impossible to be sure of anything but Death and Taxes.” wrote Christopher
Bullock, an English actor and dramatist, in 1716 (as I just learned from the
internet!). However, for the last forty or more years our society has been very
certain of so many things, in fact almost everything. Developments in IT have
allowed prediction of weather, share prices, election results, even our health over
the years and as a result we don’t cope well with uncertainty and loss of control.
Yet 2020 has been the year where we have fallen prey to a pandemic which has
largely confounded us. We have been forced onto the defensive, incarcerated in
our homes and forced to surrender so many freedoms which would have been
unthinkable less than a year ago.
I wonder if, like me, you have started conversations which began “next spring
we’ll do this…” or “can’t wait for this to happen in January” until we are
overwhelmed by a sense of realism and we add, sombrely, “well, let’s see what
things are like then. Who knows…”.
I’ve been asked by many now about our Christmas services, always a challenge to
organise seven congregations and a worship leadership team, but usually largely
arranged before September. In the last eight months, we have been closed, open
for private prayer, open for funerals, closed for weddings and baptisms, open for
weddings of 5 people, open for baptisms with 6 people, open for weddings with
30 people, open for weddings with 15 people, closed for baptisms, closed for
weddings, closed for all except funerals and streaming worship. It won’t surprise
you to know that when asked about Christmas worship my answer is “I don’t
know” because the situation changes, week by week.
If our buildings are allowed to open, there will be Christmas services with
very reduced numbers and no congregational singing. In fact, the new norm is
congregational listening - to socially distanced musicians. We may need to ask
you to ‘book’ a seat so we can control numbers and protect you. We will also
have a number of Christmas services on Zoom or recorded and available to
watch on the website (check there for information about services too).
This is a time of doubt, fear and uncertainty - what better time to hear the
message of Jesus, whose birth brings hope, light and faithfulness into a dark
world.
Is our church doing anything this Christmas? Whether in the building or on the
internet, the answer is certainly YES. We will help you celebrate - because that is
what we are for!

Lockdown Poems 2020
We decided, as we are unable to hold our usual meetings due to COVID-19, to
have a bit of fun at home, writing poems about “Lockdown.”
Here are three for you to enjoy – to spare their blushes, the writers have asked to
remain anonymous! We hope you enjoy reading them.
Poem 1
Lockdown for me was very frightening
It came upon us as fast as lightning
Washing hands till they were raw
In case the germs came in through the door
As time passed by and the sun did shine
It felt that we may be fine
But now autumn is here
We have to don masks and PPE gear
Because the dreaded virus is back and so very near!!
Poem 2 “Virus”
Strange, the impact of a single word,
“Virus”, unseen, invading all the world.
Cruel, unforgiving, chasing joy away
And filling with fear each moment of our day.
Yet greater still, the strength of human spirit,
As shown in darkest times of days gone by,
Will lift endeavour, love and generosity
To heights that bring the sun to light the sky.
The threat will end, of that there is no doubt,
Together we can stamp that virus out!
Poem 3
A virus called Covid-19
Looms ugly and large on the scene.
It's driving us barmy,
Call out Trelawney's Army,
They'll batter the blighter, hear it scream!
Ann Henderson for Pillaton WI
14spectacular light show!
Even Covid-19 won’t stop you from enjoying this – although cloud cover might!
On the nights of 13-14 December, there will be a
stunning meteor shower when the Geminids will
be visible in the night sky. If conditions are good,
you may see around 120 meteors per hour, peaking
at 1.00 am on 14 December. So, wrap up warm and
enjoy a free Christmas light display over Pillaton!
Ann Henderson
I WILL be sending Christmas cards this year!
It’s become rather fashionable over the past few years to say “We are not sending
Christmas cards this year as we will be donating to charity”, and I agree, it takes
an effort to sit down and handwrite dozens of cards for people one hasn’t seen in
ages. But this year is different, and I feel that making this small gesture to send a
handwritten card may mean a great deal to our friends and acquaintances who
have been cut off from their usual social activities and contacts.
The charities are suffering too, with many of the usual fund-raising routes barred
from them, to the extent that some are struggling even to survive.
So, this year I shall be buying my cards direct from charities so that 100% of the
profits go to them. I shall sit down and write them to my friends in the hopes
that, as they drop through letter boxes, the lovely designs bring a bit of colour
and cheer to the recipients, And when they turn the card over to see the name of
the charity I buy them from, it will also raise awareness of the charity.
And yes, I will also be sending donations to charities!
Ann Henderson
15I’m not a WI person! How many times have I heard friends say, “I’m not a WI person”? So, what exactly is a WI person? The popular myth is that WI is all Jam and Jerusalem – although I do confess that a group of us a few years ago stood on the deck of a luxury Bateau Mouche cruising the Seine in Paris to sing the wonderful Blake hymn. Look around here in the village and you will discover that WI “ladies” are everywhere. Knit and natter; PAAC; bellringers; church choir; church congregation; gardening club; Village Hall committee; behind the scenes at the Cherry Feast……WI ladies are doers, participators, joiners-in and the cogs of the wheels that drive this small community. We are a friendship group, we help combat social isolation and loneliness, we support folk, we listen, we campaign. For the past 100 years, the WI has campaigned, not just to empower and support women in society, but also for a better world for us all. From women’s suffrage to banning smoking in public places; from “Keep Britain Tidy” to calling for legislation for net zero carbon emissions by 2050; from equal pay to stopping modern slavery – all WI campaigns that tap into our social conscience. Here in Pillaton, our WI belongs to the Cornwall Federation of WIs, itself part of the National Federation of WIs. Members enjoy a local “County News” and a national magazine, “WI Life”, published 8 times a year. We usually hold monthly meetings with either a speaker or a social event in the Village Hall, as well as organising special outings or trips to the theatre, Sterts, or other venues such as Davidstow Airfield and War Museum and the Air Ambulance base. This has been an unusual and difficult year for us, but we have still tried to keep in touch with our members through email and by organising virtual competitions such as writing a poem about Coronavirus (see three of the poems in this issue of Village News) or sending in garden photos. At both County and National levels, there have been other competitions to enjoy, and there is a virtual WI group to join on Facebook – WI Wanderers - with lots of creative ideas to try at home helped by virtual demonstrations. Pillaton WI member Anne Bartlett, assisted by member Barbara Muxlow and her husband Bob, has just replanted the floral display centred in the village at the junction of Briar’s Ryn. It looks beautiful with the cyclamen, heathers, and ivy, and this small gesture helps lift spirits during this worrying time. And the lights in the Christmas tree at the Weary Friar to be switched on in December? Pillaton WI again – although this year we can’t arrange our usual Christmas Carol singing for charity. 16
If you are feeling a bit isolated at present or would like to try out the WI without
too much commitment, there is a special offer available just now. A taster
membership called “Try the WI” will give you trial membership from now until
April 2021 for just £10.75. Contact Treasurer Trish Bobbin for more details, tel.
01579 350386, or President Heather Troup tel. 01579 351130.
