SATURDAY JANUARY 28th 2012

  Ä Death: Les Cory, who was involved so much with Delabole community over so many years, has died. He had been ill for a few months and was found dead in his home yesterday. I knew him from the days when I played football for Delabole and worked as a projectionist at the Regal Cinema. At one time he worked at the Delabole Railway Station and I would have to collect the films from him. When the Delabole Station closed Les went on to join the staff of the North Cornwall District Council. Les remained involved with Delabole Football club for the rest of his life. He was involved with the Methodist Church in Delabole and also for many years was known as a very able and popular actor with the Delabole Pantomimes. I always found him a real gentleman and I know the Delabole community will miss him as I will.
For me, Delabole without Les Cory, does not and never will, feel right. No longer will I hear that lovely voice say to me 'Hello Dear Boy'.
Lovely memories..Thanks so much dear Les

His funeral will be held in Delabole Methodist Church on Tuesday 31st January at 12 noon, followed by Cremation at Glynn Valley Crematorium.

                                                                                 Rest in Peace Les, a True Citizen of Delabole

Ä TINTAGEL SECURITY CAMERA

Ä We are pleased to report that Roger Gabriel, has returned home from Hospital at Treliske in Truro.
He is on the mend but it will be some time before he gets back to full health.
Roger kindly lets Tintagelweb run the camera from his home in Tintagel and of course the camera is out of action at the moment.
Our thoughts are with Roger and his family at this time and we hope he will return to good health as soon as possible.

Ä THERMO FISHER SCIENTIFIC (MAYBRIDGE CHEMICALS) TO CLOSE IN TINTAGEL.

The business originally started by Dr Roden Bridgewater in 1963 at the former Trevillet Quarry site in Tintagel, is to close. Inside sources have told me that the staff have been offered to move to their Loughborough factory.

This is a major blow as the business  is one of the largest employers in the area. Dairy Crest at Davidstow have around 100 employees and it is believed that the Thermo Fisher employs 60 people in Tintagel.

                                                                                        Tintagelweb will keep you informed of developments

 
Ä Tintagel Parish Council are investigating the possibility of taking over the Tintagel Visitor Centre after a recent meeting at the Tintagel Social Hall, when a vote was taken to show the enthusiasm for the project from Villagers. The vote went 44 to 4, an overwhelming vote for the takeover. The Council are now seeking all the information they need before progressing further. We will advise when more details are forthcoming.
