Pillaton Village News Magazine

Cover of January 2024 Pillaton Village News magazine

The January 2024 Village News has been published and its cover shows yet another incident of considerable vehicle damage to Clapper Bridge. Perhaps it is time to resurrect anti-tank barriers as used in WWII in an attempt to prevent lorries and/or farm vehicles from crossing the bridge when too wide! Amongst the various items inside the magazine, there is a useful summary of the planned Rubbish and Recycling changes being implemented soon by Cornwall County Council.

The Pillaton Village News page contains links to older copies of the Village News, most of which can be viewed in full colour!

Website Manager Wanted

Pillaton Website Home Page

Quite a few of you know already that, for family reasons, I shall be moving away from the village soon. Although it is perfectly possible to maintain websites from anywhere in the world, I have run the Pillaton website since setting it up in 2010 and feel this is a good time for someone else to take over - being close to what is going on is a definite advantage. The website is funded by Pillaton Parish Council so if you are interested in taking on this role, please contact one of the Council members or myself through the "Contact Us" option at the bottom of the web page.

2023 Rainfall

Pillaton rainfall graph thumbnail

Unless someone else is prepared to take over recording the monthly rainfall from Brian Hutfield (see previous item) then this summary of 2023 will be the last. Although the weather over the past couple of months has been decidedly wet and windy, for the most part, 2023 was a drier year than most over the last dozen years and only just failed to pip 2011 as the driest with 1189mm (46.81") of rain recorded.

See Rainfall Figures for the full 2011 - 2023 statistics.

Rainfall Recorder Wanted

Rain on the road

Does anyone out there keep records of the Pillaton rainfall or is anyone interested in taking this on? Having carried out this task with dedication since 2011, Brian Hutfield has decided to call it a day and will no longer be providing this website with rainfall records after the end of December.

We are very grateful to Brian for keeping this going for many years and wish him well for the future. It will though be a shame if we cannot continue with the records so if anyone can help, please get in touch via the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

See records for Pillaton Rainfall since 2011.

Village Hall Fire Escape

Pillaton Village Hall

Village Hall users, please take note of the following information from Peter Johnson regarding the main fire exit.

Residents may have noticed the use of props outside the main hall Fire Exit. This is due to a cracked lintel which will need replacing. The props etc. have been installed as a temporary safety measure, and following qualified professional advice and risk assessment, and pending a permanent repair. The Fire Exit remains safe and useable, although the opening is marginally narrower, which may prevent larger wheelchairs or mobility scooters using it. Please only use this Fire Exit in the event of a genuine emergency. Any queries please contact either Dave Dolley or Peter Johnson. Thank you.

Pillaton Summer Tractor Run

Tractor Run

Following the successful Charity Tractor Run held at the start of the year, another event was organised for the summer and this has just been held. Fortunately storm Antoni had blown through overnight and left a fine day in its wake although a few trees had fallen in the lanes and needed clearing.

The good weather saw over 80 entries for the Tractor Run, which was being held in aid of St. Luke's Hospice, Plymouth, and plenty of spectators turned out for the event at both the start and around the route which took in St. Mellion, St. Dominic, Harrowbarrow, Metherell, Cotehele, Paynters Cross, Cargreen, Botus Fleming and Hatt before finishing up back in Pillaton.

Some photographs from the afternoon can be seen on Pillaton Summer Tractor Run.

(Update: A YouTube video by Scott Hutchinson of the event can be seen at Pillaton Tractor Run. Thanks to Scott for bringing this to our attention.

Scones, jam and cream

After a gap of several years, the annual Cherry Feast was held once more. This was also its first appearance at a new location at Bush Farm which worked very well.

Hopefully a full report will appear soon but in the meantime some photographs from the day can be seen on 2023 Cherry Feast.

Pillaton Coronation Celebrations 2023

In spite of some changes needed because of the wet weather, our Coronation Celebrations went ahead on 8th May at the Village Hall and were enjoyed by many. The heavy rain meant that the planned outdoor events for the afternoon were cut back and moved inside the hall. The evening event with hog roast, live music and Disco all went as planned and there was a good turn out. Some photographs of the day can be seen on the Coronation Celebrations page.

Gardening Club Report

A report from Chrissie Russell about the recent Pillaton Gardening Club event held at the Village Hall.

Free Seed and Plant Giveaway

Despite the wet weather, we had many people come to see what we had to offer and some even brought wheelbarrows full of plants, for which we were very grateful. There were vegetable plants and seeds, and garden plants in various stages, from seedlings to well grown specimens. There was a display of plants that were flowering in the garden at the moment, and snippets of discussions about various gardening topics were heard all around.

The aim was to encourage more people to come together to talk about gardening and hopefully inspire them to grow more vegetables and flowering plants themselves and I think that we achieved that.

Celtic Quiet Places

Celtic Quiet Places is a Cornwall wide network of rural churches which now includes our St Odulph church. Its aim is to encourage vistors, especially if they are seeking an oasis of quiet, and its website provides background to the buildings and locations.

After the comparative drought in February, March proved to be very wet with 192mm (7.56") of rain. According to the Met Office, it was the wettest March in England since 1981, but down in this part of the world we had 232mm (9.13") in March 2018, hence last months total was not so exceptional.

Pillaton Spring Show

Pillaton Spring Flower Show notice thumbnail

Another reminder from Chrissie about the Pillaton Gardening Club's 2023 Spring Show which is to be held in the Village Hall this coming Saturday.

One Week to go!

Pillaton Gardening Club’s spring show is now a week away on Saturday 18th March at 2.30p.m.

Last year this was cancelled due to covid but the summer show was really well attended with 403 entries. We are looking forward to welcoming a good participation at this year’s spring show.

The entry forms should be given to Carole Hoskin, 10 Barton Meadows, Pillaton, our show secretary, by 7p.m. on Thursday 16th March or to other committee members i.e. Ian Edwards, Tracy Kennedy or Sue Archer. We would accept them but it’s easier if you use a member in the village. If you haven’t already obtained a show schedule with the form inside then Carole has some spare (or see link below).

Exhibits to be staged 7.30 – 9.00p.m. on the Friday or 8.00 – 9.45a.m. on Saturday morning.

Don’t be shy. Have some fun. There are people to help you and encourage you to take part.

Pillaton Spring Flower Show

Pillaton Gardening Club's 2023 Spring Flower Show is to be held in the Village Hall on 18th March 2023. The 2023 Spring Show Schedule has entry forms and details of all the times, classes and awards.

We also received the following encouragement to you all from new Gardening Club secretary, Chrissie, so why not "have a go".

Two weeks to go!

Two weeks to go before the Spring Show on the 18th March.

There are so many daffodils coming out now and with the colder weather some of these blooms will be perfect to put into section 1 of the exhibits.

The primroses are closely following on from the snowdrops with senior and junior classes in section 2 and section 3.

Looking at the flowering shrubs in the garden, it’s a shame that our witch hazel will be over by then, but the camellias are doing well and even if you haven’t got any flowering shrubs the foliage class in section 4 is something for everyone.

How about having a go at some floral art in section 6 and 7.

Lots of exciting chances to enter into the show.

Chrissie Russell

Pillaton Skittles League

Skittles thumbnail

Pillaton Skittles League matches have taken place over the winter and, although the Mavericks have a good lead over the others, the final outcome is still not certain.

February Rainfall

Rain on the road

We had a very dry February with only 16mm (0.63") of rain. In fact it was the sixth driest month we have had in Pillaton over the past dozen years and certainly the driest February in that time.

See Rainfall Figures for records since 2011.

2022 Rainfall

Pillaton rainfall graph thumbnail

As suggested in November 2021's rainfall entry, December proved to be fairly wet and any remaining thoughts of 2022 being the driest year since our records started in 2011 were soon washed away! December in fact proved to be the second wettest month in 2022, after November, with 247mm (9.72") of rain.

See Rainfall Figures for full details over the years.
