HAYLE COMMUNITY SCHOOL:

On Friday December 9 Hayle Community school will be supporting Cornwall Hospice Care with a Christmas Parade and it is hoped that the whole school - students, teachers, governors and support staff in addition to local primary schools - will be involved.

Cornwall Hospice Care is an independent Cornish charity, uniquely placed within the community and committed to the delivery of excellence in Specialist Palliative Care across Cornwall. The service is free of charge to the patient. However, their charity status means that they rely heavily on financial and voluntary support from the general public by way of charitable donations, legacies, shops income, fundraising events and various other activities.

In view of the above, and in particular the association with St Julia's Hospice in Hayle, the school is keen to support the valuable work Cornwall Hospice Care provides. They are organising the Christmas Parade which will leave school at intervals from 1.30pm and walk a two mile route down St Georges Road, along Penpol Terrace, through the town to Copperhouse and back via Humphry Davy Lane with potentially as many as 400 Christmas themed students walking through Hayle!

Please come and support the students by waving, clapping, cheering, tooting your horn and donating loose change in the collecting buckets along the way.

If you have any queries, please contact Karen Hickson at Hayle Community School on 01736 753009.

CURRY AND QUIZ EVENING:

On Friday December 9 at 7.30pm in Hayle Day centre Mike Stuckey's Curry and Quiz evening takes place in aid of the Hayle Day centre. It's £5 for a curry (or alternative food) being served between 6.30pm and 7.30pm.  £2 per person for the quiz (maximum of 6 in a team).  Everyone welcome.

The Hayle Branch of the RNLI recently held a very successful coffee morning in the Angarrack Community Centre.  The event was well attended, and the Branch committee would like to thank everyone who helped or gave support in any way, and in particular wish to thank the Charity Singers for entertaining everyone so well. The coffee morning  raised over £500 for RNLI funds which will, as always, be used in the charity's work saving lives at sea.

HAYLE ROTARY CLUB:

At last Monday's meeting members' wives and friends were visited by Danielle Roberts who treated them to a very informative and interesting talk on Autism.

Introduced by Rotarian David Jones and warmly welcomed by President Brian, Danielle talked of Autism in general and their family's personal experiences with future hopes and plans for Jamie who is on the non-verbal end of the spectrum. Danielle concluded her presentation with a question and answer session.  It's possible to follow Jamie's progress on https://www.facebook.com/JamiesAutismJourney/
