This year the 6th of May lands on a weekend so we've gone one step further and are launching the Great Cornish Cake Bake Big Weekend. Judy Lawton is our Community Fundraiser, “Cake is at the heart of our fundraising efforts with coffee mornings and cream teas a staple of the annual events list, so we thought why not develop the theme and go for an all-out celebration. Three years ago we declared May 6th our annual Great Cornish Cake Bake Day and so far the bakers and cake eaters of Cornwall have helped us raise nearly £16,000.” The concept is simple, host an event at which you sell cake. “It can be a coffee morning, a slice of cake sale in the office or a guess the weight of the cake competition at school” says Judy, “you choose and we can help too. You can make it a community gathering like they did at Illogan near Redruth where the organiser told me afterwards that everyone welcomed getting together for something other than a wedd...

The annual event was held in breezy but dry conditions and saw a host of affiliated and non-affiliated runners take on the demanding course. Starting below Pendennis Castle, the event follows a rural route out to Mawnan Smith and back to a finish line outside the Falmouth Hotel. Making seemingly light work of the half marathon was winner Andrew Martin who’s a member of the Mile High athletics club based in Penryn. First woman home was Amy Sole of the Cornwall Athletics Club who covered the distance in a time of 1.27.05. Rowan Blewett was the Race Organiser for Cornwall Hospice Care, “it was such a relief to see the weather clear up in time for the race, and even the sun managed to put in an appearance by late morning. We‘ve been delighted by the record entry this year, which of course means a healthy sum will have been raised to help fund the specialist care we provide to patients in Cornwall with life limiting illnesses and to their families. We hope the final...
