TINTAGEL  VISITOR  CENTRE    With  reference  to  the  Visitor  Centre,  we  will  soon  be  into  the  main  part  of  the  season  and  we  thank  all  of  our  volunteers  for  their  help.  Newcomers  to  the  village  may  be  unaware  that  the  Visitor  Centre  belongs  to  the  parish  and  we  are  always  looking  for  new  volunteers  to  cover  for  holidays,  sickness  etc.  so  if  you  have  3  hours  to  spare  a  week  you  will  be  very  welcome  to  join  us.    Please  see  the  volunteer  registration  form  overleaf,  or  you  can  apply  online  or  just  drop  into  the  Centre  for  a  chat.    I  would  like  to  once  more  thank  all  our  advertisers  for  their  support  and  to    Roger,  Sue,  David  and  Jo  for  their  help  to  produce  the  most  recent  Tintagel  Guide  for  2015.    Information  for  advertisers  for  the  2016  edition  will  be  available  shortly.      TINTAGEL  PARISH  COUNCIL    Last  month  we  welcomed  two  new  councillors,  Mr.  Richard  Dale  and  Mr.  Richard  Hart  to  serve  on  the  council.  It  is  going  to  be  a  challenging  year  for  the  council  particularly  with  the  new  arrangements  for  the  toilets.    As  a  council  we  do  wonder  how  many  more  responsibilities  we  will  have  to  take  on  over  the  coming  years.  The  councillors  give  freely  of  their  time  and  it  is  not  always  an  easy  job.      TINTAGEL  PARISH  NEWSLETTER    Unfortunately,  the  newsletter  is  quite  a  short  one  this  month.    Reminders  are  sent  out  in  good  time  to  regular  contributors  but  they  do  not  always  respond.    Please  ensure  that  any  items  for  inclusion  are  sent  to  the  Parish  Clerk  in  time  for  the  next  publication  (see  back  page  for  dates).    If  you  would  like  to  be  added  to  the  list  to  receive  a  reminder,  please  contact  the  Parish  Clerk.            Mary  Dyer  Chairman  Tintagel  Parish  Council

Tintagel Garden Club May 2015 Newsletter

This month’s speaker was Howard Wills who owns the national collection of Sempervivums at his 3 acre small holding near Great Torrington. Howard gave a great talk last year on the flora and Fauna of New Zealand and we invited him back to talk about his great passion; sempervivums. Their name means always alive and they are tough little plants that grow naturally on or between rocks in the mountain regions of Europe,Turkey, Iran, Morocco and the Balkans. They grow very well in all weather conditions in the southwest provided they have very good drainage, and a little shelter from heavy rain or hail for some varieties in the winter. Sempervivims form cushions of spiral rosettes and can be easily propagated by potting up small plants from the edge of the rosettes or from seed. His ideal compost is 50% John Innes number 1 or 2 with 25% loam,25% of sharp sand, some slow release fertilizer and a top dressing of gravel. When the plants reach maturity which is only in a few years, they throw up large flower stalks which produce a multitude of attractive small flowers. The main plant then dies, but there are usually more than enough baby plants around its edge to take its place. Howard brought in a selection of plants grown in containers including troughs shallow clay pots and even in an air brick and they looked particularly attractive in small groups, which showed their great variety in shape and colour. He also brought in some plants for sale, which were quickly snapped up!! We all thanked for a very interesting talk with some excellent of photographs, and we now have many new beautiful little additions to our gardens! Chris Weight Newsletter Secretary

Do  You  Remember  The  Goon  Show?      This  was  a  show  in  the  1950s    that  was  either  loved  or  hated  by  the  public.  I  loved  it   and   the   wonderful   characters,   inspired   by   Spike   Milligan,   can   never   be  forgotten.  There   was   Major   Bloodnok,   Hercules   Grytpype-­‐Thynne,   Bluebottle   and   Henry  Crun   (Peter   Sellers).      Eccles,  Minnie   Bannister   and   Count   Jim  Moriarty,   (Spike  Milligan).  Harry  Secombe  as    Neddie  Seagoon,  Uncle  Oscar,  Private  Bogg,  Nugent  Dirt,  Izzy,  Welshmen  and  Yorkshire  Men.    Michael  Bentine  was  a  member  of  the  Goons  from  1951  to  1953,  when  he  left  the  series.      During   1951   to   1960   there   were   238   shows   and   12   specials,   Originally   the  programme  was  called  ‘Crazy  People’  but  was  changed  to  the  ‘Goon  Show’.      The  scripts   had   silly   plots   with  surreal   humour,   puns,   catchphrases   and   an   array  of  weird  sound  effects.  Some  of  the  later  episodes  had  electronic  effects  devised  by  the    BBC  Radiophonic  Workshop.  These  sounds  were  re-­‐used  by  other  shows  for  decades  afterwards.      The   team  made   some   unforgettable   recordings,     amongst   the   songs  were   ‘I’m  Walking  Backwards  For  Christmas’  ,    ‘Bloodnok's  Rock  and  Roll  Call’  and  the  ‘The  Ying   Tong   Song’.   The   last   time   all   three   Goons   met   up   they   recorded     ‘The  Raspberry  Song’  and  ‘Rhymes’  in  1978      There   were   some   lovely   catchphrases   like   .   "He's   fallen   in   the   water!"   (Little  Jim),   "You   dirty,   rotten   swine,   you!   You   have   deaded   me!"   (Bluebottle),   "You  can't   get   the  wood,   you   know."   (Henry,  Minnie),   "You   silly,   twisted  boy,   you."  (Grytpype-­‐Thynne)  and  "You  can't  park   'ere,  mate"  (Willium)   -­‐-­‐  Milligan's  dig  at  officious  BBC  commissionaires.    I  can  remember  some  of  the  unusual  titles  for  the  programmes  like  ‘"The  Egg  of  the  Great  Auk:”,  "The  Dreaded  Batter  Pudding  Hurler   (of  Bexhill-­‐on-­‐Sea)",  "The  Affair  of  the  Lone  Banana",  "The  International  Christmas  Pudding",  "The  Tale  of  Men's  Shirts"  and  so  on  and  so  on.  The  Last  Goon  Show  of  All,  was  broadcast  on  5  October   1972,   Wonderful   memories   of   as   really   crazy   programme   that   was  probably  aired  before  it’s  time.        Marvellous  Memories.    Were  you  a  fan?!      David  Flower

Old Post Office update Our exhibition this month is ‘Diggin deeper’; as part of the Festival of Archaeology we are hoping to highlight the lesser-known medieval history of the building. There will be reconstruction drawings, talks and hands-on activities, such as a mock-excavation, for kids. The house is open every day from 10:30am to 5:30pm, last admission is at 5pm. Our volunteers play a vital part in the Old Post Office’s season. We are currently looking for people who have an interest in the local area and a love of heritage to act as welcomers at the Old Post Office. If you would like to find out more about these opportunities then please pop in to see us. For our younger visitors we have the 2015 list of 50 things to do before you’re 11 ¾, pick up your booklet and start the adventure today. Activities on offer at the Old Post Office include a snail race, hunt for bugs and look out for special events in August for making a home for an animal and creating wild art! All events have normal admission charges linked to them but our friendly and knowledgeable staff can advise you on National Trust membership if you would like any information and free entry to all of our places of interest.

If you wish to find out any more about any of the above, please contact the property on 01840 770024 or check the website; www.nationaltrust.org.uk/tintagel-old-post-office. We can also be found on Facebook.com/nt.topo and @ntoldpostoffice.
