Due to the current situation this season, with no rugby at present and coronavirus still prevalent, we have been left with little choice but to cancel the dinner and entertainment evening planned for February 2021.

John & Margery Rowe are aiming to carry out the dinner in 2022, when it is hoped the situation will be much improved. We look forward to seeing everyone then, for the time being, please keep safe.

Our Annual General Meeting is due to be held at St. Austell Brewery Visitor Centre on Wednesday 30th September.

At the present time it is unclear whether or not we will be able to proceed on that date, or at the designated venue.

Our Hon.Sec will be making enquires and will report back via the website any further news on our A.G.M.

Naturally Covid restrictions and health & safety of our committee and members is of paramount interest in making our final decision.

Committee members will be contacted by Ian Gordon shortly.

Please contact Hon.Sec Ian Gordon if needs be.

UPDATE 07-09-2020

This year’s A.G.M. has been cancelled. Officers and Committee will be automatically be rolled over for 2021.

Committee meetings continue to be suspended for the time being and we are keeping our options open and under review on all future events up to spring 2021.

With the continuing uncertainty surrounding covid 19, it appears that for the foreseeable future we are only going to be able to produce a PDF version of our club magazine.

In this connection, could TASC members please forward their e-mail address (if you have not already done so previously) to our Membership Secretary Barbara Hocking e-mail: membership@trelawnysarmy.org

Thank you.

Trelawny’s Army were saddened to learn of the passing of Andrew Harris one of our valued longstanding members.

Andrew. nicknamed “the Scarf” by members, was a regular at county games, was instanly recognisable sporting his long handmade Cornwall scarf and wearing his deerstalker.

Linda Harris wrote the following about her late husband. “I have so many wonderful memories of supporting the county matches. Andrew was always keen to fly the Cornish flag wherever he went – in fact his coffin was draped with a Cornish flag, and also the scarf in the photo (which I have kept!) and the inevitable deerstalker hat! I am lucky to have Trelawny’s Army friends in the village – David and Shirley Floyd. David came to Andrew’s funeral which was on 18th March at The Glynn Valley Crematorium, Bodmin. David was a great comfort to me then, and Shirley provided the funeral tea at Pillaton Village Hall afterwards. I value their friendship.”
