Here are some photos of our own, wonderful Kelliwik Golowi Band. They formed just over two years ago to play for our Golowi parade and since then there has been no stopping them! They have performed all around Cornwall in other parades, fetes and Nos Lowens. Their next gig will be at the fantastic Montol Festival in Penzance on the 21st December, helping celebrate mid winter and the coming of the light.
Thank you Mel Peters for these lovely pictures

With 1 more sleep to go I need to mention the incredible young people that we have in Callington. Less than 6 weeks ago the wonderful Queenie and the Jester team went into Callington Youth Project Group, The Vault Youth Club and asked for volunteers to perform tomorrow evening. The brave young people who said yes have been working hard ever since to overcome their initial anxieties and put a fire performance routine together; practising fire skills and choreographing their displays. Please come and support them tomorrow I promise their routines will be awesome, it’s incredible to see with dedication, what can be achieved in a short time.
