  Upside Down at the Bottom of the World

  Our Spring production explores a short period in the life of the author D H Lawrence concentrating on the time he was exiled to live in Australia during the Great War. Written by David Allen and Directed by David Faulkner, this gripping play will entertain and may mildly shock. It is suited for age 15 or over. D H Lawrence is a familiar name to most of us. We have either read some fragments of his work, seen adaptations of his work on film, or have heard some catching story about his life. But few people have had a really moving glimpse of the real character. David Allen has done just that. Set in 1922. Using the time Lawrence spent in Australia writing Kangaroo, as the background for the play, (after being thrown out of Cornwall), David Allen develops a thoroughly engrossing story about Lawrence, the man; his writing, his view on life, his weaknesses and his strengths. Through the other characters, Frieda, his wife, and Jack and Victoria, close neighbours, we are offered a rare and privileged glimpse of one of the truly great literary giants of our time.

  A Pound Well Spent!

  To celebrate 10 years since the Cottages were purchased for the community from the former Restormel Borough Council for just £1 there will be a family event held at the site. The event will be run from 1 pm - 4 pm and will include children games of days gone by as well as an opportunity for people to visit the museum and share their personal memories of the cottages and, perhaps, ideas for their future. Two exciting competitions have also be launched ahead of the celebration. Both competitions aim to capture the unique beauty of the cottages and their setting, with the winners being featured on a bespoke postcard for the cottages to sell in the shop. Details of the competition can be found on the website.

  Newquay Rowing Club Bacon and Egg Pie Competition

  The famous annual event takes place on Sunday 24 March and all are welcome to attend, whether entering a pie into the competition or not. Those deciding to enter need to make a pie consisting of bacon and egg and maybe a touch of seasoning and parsley - but not too much. The eggs must be broken into the pie whole, i.e. not whisked up or beaten, so that when the judge cuts a wedge to judge the whole round yolk can be seen. No onion, tomatoes or other fillings, just good ol' bacon and egg. There's a cash prize for the winner but the real prize is the prestige of being able to say "I won the Rowing Club bacon and egg pie competition". Donations after the judging, to be able to sample the pies in the competition, will go towards supporting Children's Hospice South West. Get your pies there by 3pm for judging at 4pm.
