With only one more cafe to go before our second anniversary, it seems a good time to reflect on the ‘niche’ we have found in our local village communities. From the very start we have been well supported by individuals from Crantock, Cubert, Newlyn East and Newquay who have come along to share in our social afternoons, have cooked for or waited on us, entertained or advised in equal measure.
Outside of the cafe itself, other groups and organisations within our communities have included us in their thoughts and deeds: these include not only the ‘Bale Push’ perhaps our biggest local fund-raising event, but also Crantock WI and the ArtyCrafty Group which recently gave us a fantastic donation following its Christmas Craft Fayre. For the second year running we were honoured to lay a wreath in the village on Remembrance Sunday, particularly poignant to the cafe as a number of our members and helpers have served in the Armed Forces.
We’re also grateful to our neighbouring Memory Cafes at St Columb Minor and Perranporth who have given us encouragement and advice.
Many thanks to all, and here’s to our third year!
