Juliotter Garden Club held its annual plant sale on Saturday 20th May. This year the
weather wasn't very friendly and there were slightly fewer sellers - but the sale was well
attended and all the buyers and sellers seemed to go away happy. And the club funds got a boost. |

Tintagel Orpheus Male Voice Choir held a 60s themed Pasty Supper in the evening

On Shrove Tuesday, 28th February 2017, the Hall and Otterham, St Juliot and
Lesnewth Group of Churches got together for a combined fund-raiser. The Hall Committee held their
monthly "Coffee +" (drinks, biscuits, chat and games) at the same time as the churches
held their "Pop in for pancakes" (never previously held at the hall). With takings from
second-hand books, bric-a-brac and a raffle added to what we took at the door, the event raised a
little under £350, which has been split equally between the Hall and the churches. |

On Sunday, 27th November 2016, the committee organised a cheese

funds. |

The Rector of the Boscastle Group of Churches, Robert Thewsey,
has gone to pastures new and it was planned to have his farewell do in Tintagel
Church on Sunday, 17th July 2016. However there was a hitch and, at short

service with the Churchwardens of all the churches. |

On 3rd July 2016 a church service was held for all the

thought-provoking sermon, and then to share a buffet lunch. |

The hall was used as it has good facilities and is easy for all
the congregations to get to. |

On 10th December 2015 Marshgate WI held its annual Christmas
Party in the Hall. The President welcomed everyone and invited June to give a
brief talk about her recent visit to Denman where she had got "Christmas
All Sewn Up". She proudly showed us the items she had made, and enthused
about the whole experience, encouraging others to take any opportunity to go to
the college. The serious business of the meeting then started with pass the
parcel followed by other mind and body stretching games. Wendy had provided a
spectacular cake to go with the cups of tea, and for those who like to indulge
there were mince pies and other cakes as well. The raffle was drawn and
everyone selected their Secret Santa gift, though after Linda's story no
one ended with the parcel they had picked!
Who said pass the parcel is just for children?

The Boscastle Buoys entertained a hall full of people when
Otterham & St Juliot Hall committee hosted the first Harvest Supper in the
new Hall on 17th October. Jacket potatoes with various toppings followed by a
mouth-watering section of desserts meant the 60 people present could sit back
well-fed and enjoy the Buoys' special sound and laugh at the joking between
songs. The Boscastle Buoys are constantly enlarging their repertoire while not
forgetting old favourites. They are, rightly, proud to have contributed so much
to the Hospice, and hope to boost their donations with their new CD. The Hall
Committee Chairman, David Langley, thanked all who had contributed in any way
to the evening which was in aid of Hall funds because there are still items
needed and money must be set aside for future upkeep. |

On 18th July 2015 Johnny Cowling visited the Hall for an
evening of fund raising for Children's Hospice South West - Little Harbour
at St Austell. Pasties were supplied by Marshgate Stores and Pete from The
Horseshoe ran a bar. By the end of the evening some £540 had been
raised |

On 30th June 2015 all the children of Otterham C P School came
to the Hall to celebrate its completion. They ringed the Village Hall with a
nice white ribbon then all cut their piece of the ribbon to officially open the
new Hall - every piece was then dated and each child had a personal memento of
the event. Pictured with Dave Langley, Chairman, and Helen Ward, Head Teacher
is the last few to do the cutting. |
The tape and children stretched round three sides of the Hall
before it was cut - and this was the very end of it. After the cutting of the
tape they all went in to the hall for well-earned refreshments. |

| On a sunny Friday evening, 19th June 2015, the Hall was host
to the annual Strawberry Supper which this year was raising funds for the
Cornwall Air Ambulance. |
 |
 |
It was a Pasty and Strawberry Supper and a total of £273 was
raised - not at all bad for a small community. As it happens the Air Ambulance
had been called to Marshgate earlier that day! |

On Saturday, 13th June 2015, Otterham and St Juliot Hall opened
its doors to anybody who was interested, or had helped in any way, to come and
see the results of the hard work involved in achieving a new Hall. Members of
the Committee provided a flow of refreshments right through the day, which
seemed to be appreciated. Several people had been personally invited to be with
us at about 12 noon so that the Chairman, David Langley, could say "Thank
You" to all on behalf of the Committee. It was especially pleasing to be
able to give Val Gill a small token of appreciation for the years of form
filling and etc. that she did to get the grant from the Big Lottery. Earlier
in the year she retired from the Committee and her position as Hall Secretary
after moving away from North Cornwall. |

There were messages of support received from Ann and Ken Clarke,
Margaret Kemp and Rose Tamplyn - all past members of the committee who have moved
away. The WI was able to show the entry for this year's Royal Cornwall Show
where it had been awarded 2nd place, and the floral part of the display had won
the 'Nan Collier Plate' for the highest marks [20 out of 20!]. The Short
Mat Bowls club had a mat down and several visitors tried their hand at bowling;
one person went home for his woods so he could make use of the quiet time to
practice.
There was also some archive material and a remnant of the old hall. The
children were kept amused with Mike Titchin's bouncy castle which fitted
neatly at one end of the hall.
Visitors were enthusiastic about the new facilities with all areas being
explored. The Committee felt its gesture of thanks had been well received.
