Roche News November 2020
Letter from the Editor
It is lovely to see a few more events happening although there are still a lot more
things that need to get back to normal and we have to be patient until that time.
Not that easy when people are getting frustrated not being able to see their friends
and go to their craft or exercise classes.
Four pages were taken out of the magazine this time. The deadline is the same
every month, and I do send reminders, so please try and make the magazine bigger
and better next time. Thanks.
Rachel Wakeman
DEADLINE for DECEMBER/JANUARY 2020 Edition is 15 NOVEMBER 2020
The Roche News is now online at www.rocheparishcouncil.gov.uk under Latest Newsletter
RYF Harvest 2020
Quieter than previous, with no auction, and all donations to our local foodbank
here in Roche.
St Gomondas Church, Roche are grateful and thankful for our continuing support,
as are we, from members, parents and others to ensure we keep going.
Harvest, a time to thank our Farming community for their hard work all year
round.
Thank you to all key workers, wherever you may work and our NHS.
DISCLAIMER: Whilst the magazine could not be published without the support of the
villagers and businesses in the community, the Editor takes no responsibility for any of the
content published.

I have always been very keen to look forward and to try and seek out
opportunities that will benefit the majority. My support for the Eco Village is well
known as is my lobbying anyone who would listen for the need to construct a St
Austell to Victoria link road. I do not deny that I am actively courting a couple of
major employers to re-locate to Roche Victoria bringing much needed employment
opportunities especially for younger people.
However, I respect the workers of days gone by and enjoy celebrating their
achievements hence my involvement with Wheal Martyn where I am their
Chairman.
With others I was dismayed and vowed to vehemently to oppose any suggestion
that the 'Clay Trails' should be re-named the Garden Trails'. I agree that, yes, Eden
and others are now major players in our community and do make a significant
contribution to our economy. They appear to have forgotten that Eden owes its very
existence to the clay industry, the fact that it was to be built in a redundant clay pit
was a major reason for it attracting 'Lottery Funding' all those years ago. Tim Smit,
its founder, made great play of this in all his presentations and their early video
(now that dates me) is all about the pit restoration.
Try denying the importance of coal, or tin, for example. This country's wealth and
prosperity depended on these great industries for without them there would never
have been an industrial revolution.
As we move forward into a new era of environmental awareness and the
importance of horticulture this does not give 'licence' to reduce the importance of
the Clay industry. Look around your home and be aware of just how much you take
for granted. Clay impacts on every aspect of your life: china, paint, paper, medicines,
cables the list goes on and on, china clay is used everywhere. Its excavation has had
a major impact on mid Cornwall reshaping the landscape and influencing the
development of the communities in this area. So please can we celebrate and do all
we can to support the Clay Industry and retain the names of the pits and their CLAY
TRAILS. The impact of clay excavation will be seen by all future generations and
hopefully they will, like their fellows in other parts of the country, be proud to live in
'clay country'.
The Wheal Martyn Clay Museum is open for business; please support it by having
a local's pass. It is well worth a visit and it is a unique destination offering much
more than a traditional museum with spectacular views down into a working pit.
Plenty of safe dogs welcome walking trails with things to do and experience for all
generations and of course easy access to many of the clay trails, one even leads all
the way to Eden.

The following is a humorous poem written by Dr K Phillips, who was a history
professor at Liverpool University, about his experience with his piano and singing
teacher. Ken was born to our village blacksmith next to the Church and has written
bestselling books on the Cornish dialect and other things Cornish.

St Gomonda's Church, Roche
From the Priest-in-charge
Dear Friends
Lest we forget
These words have become synonymous with the
commemoration of war although the phrase was first coined in a poem by Rudyard
Kipling to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897.
The passage of time changes the way in which we use words and phrases and how
we look at things. We remember people and places differently with the progress of
time, our perspectives alter. I am sure that the covid-19 pandemic has caused many
of us to reflect on how we view the world and our lives.
What doesn’t change is the gratitude with which we look back to the supreme
sacrifice of those who gave their lives for us in wars and conflicts. This year our
marking of Remembrance will not have the usual parade and service but we hope to
toll the church bell around 11am on 8th November. You can lay wreaths quietly
throughout the day. There will be an online email-style service with hymns, sermon,
prayers, the Last Post, silence and Reveille on the St Gomonda’s Facebook page and
at 6.30pm there will be a live Zoom service which everyone is welcome to join.
Please contact me for the link to the Zoom service – we’d love to see you – you
don’t have to say or do anything!
On 1st November at 6.30pm there will be Zoom service where we can give thanks
for those who we have loved and lost. Please contact me with any names of the
departed that you want to be read out and for the Zoom link. My email address
and telephone number for this are: kpaclay365@gmail.com and 01726 822317.
Let us also spare some time to remember all of those people who are giving so
much to help and protect us during this current strange and difficult time.
With grace, peace and every blessing. Paul. Revd Canon K Paul Arthur

Roche Cricket
Champions
At one point this year we didn’t think we would play any cricket for the season.
However, against the odds, cricket started in July.
Roche Cricket fielded 2 teams in the league, a team in the evening league, a third
team playing friendlies, several junior matches and a ladies softball team. Our first
team made it through to their league final for a very intense match against St Erne
Cricket Club and after a hard fought match Roche won the game and were crowned
champions. Our ladies softball cricket team entered and won three festivals and
remain unbeaten for the season and our evening league team made it through to
the league final.
Following our AGM on the 23rd October, the committee and members will continue
with the winter maintenance programme at the ground, making sure that we are
ready for the start of next season.
The club will be running winter indoor training sessions for all levels and ages, should
you wish to get involved simply email us at rochecricket@hotmail.com

Roche Guiding News
A new term brings new challenges. The Brownies held an outdoor meeting in
the Victory Hall car park, doing lots of different challenges, they had fun and
finished just before the fog descended. The Rainbows met the following
week; they also had challenges to complete. Because the evenings are
starting to get darker, the Brownies next meeting was on Zoom. With the
help of a Guide Leader in London, the Brownies and their parents tried their
hands at making woggles, by turning this cord
into a woggle.
Rainbows have also had their first Zoom meeting
doing challenges and experiencing a virtual
meeting. After half term, both Brownies and
Rainbows are hoping to return to face to face
meetings back at the Victory Hall, slightly
different times so all 3 units can meet on a
Tuesday evening.
The Guides held 2 weeks of outdoor meetings
each week. They planted daffodil bulbs, some
planted bulbs going up Roche Hill and others
were planted along by the park, we planted
approximately 300 bulbs.
Guides can now return to indoor meetings,
but unfortunately we can only have a
maximum of 15 Guides, so we are having to split the Guides into two groups,
so each week we are holding face to face meetings and Zoom meetings.
