Heather & Lay's Local News & Sponsorship
Falmouth Ladies Hockey Club
Heather & Lay are delighted to once again be sponsoring Falmouth Ladies Hockey Club for the 2020/21 season. We would like to take this opportunity to wish them the very best of luck.
Falmouth Ladies train at Penryn School on a Thursday 7pm – 8.30pm.
Falmouth Hockey Club are pleased to be back on the pitch, both training and playing matches. Even with Covid restrictions the players are so glad to be able to play.
All league hockey was disbanded (not sure if that is the right word!) but Cornwall Hockey Association has organised the County Cup competitions to be played in April and May to give a competitive end to a very disrupted season. After winning promotion in the previous season Falmouth 1 were disappointed to only be able to play 2 of their West Premier League matches so are glad that they are able to try to retain the Women’s County Cup.
The County Cup competitions have been organised differently this year with the group stages being regional within the county as shared travel is not permitted. Falmouth 1, the current County Women’s Cup holders, have made a good start in the competition with wins against Duchy 1 (2-0) and CSoM (7-0) and have two more group matches against Falmouth 3 and Newquay 2.
Falmouth 2 put in a good performance and were unlucky not to share the points against Newquay 1, losing 2-1. Their other group matches are against Duchy 2, Penzance 1 and Truro 1.
The club is pleased that Falmouth 3 has been given a place in Trelawney League 2 next season. Falmouth 3 entered the cup to gain experience in order to be more prepared for league hockey in September and have put in creditable performances even though they have lost their first two matches against Newquay 2 and Duchy 1. They have matches against Falmouth 1 and CSoM to complete the group stage.
Falmouth Men also entered the cup competition to gain experience and have also put in good performances in their fist two matches.
The Cup and Plate semi-finals are due to be played on 22nd May with the finals on the following week, Saturday 29th May at Penzance.
The Mixed Falmouth team played their first cup match on Thursday evening, losing to Duchy 1.
The junior section continues to make good progress under the guidance of lead coach, Kelly Jefferies.
CLASSROOMS in Falmouth were buzzing this week after every pupil in class six in all five primary schools received a new guide to the town’s wildflower meadows.
The guide covers both the wildflowers found in the meadows and the bees that they attract. Its distribution is being organised by Jacqui Owen, the visitor and community engagement officer for Falmouth Town Council in partnership with Cormac.
Originally intended to be available only for download, it was the offer of sponsorship from local estate agent, Heather and Lay that has allowed it to be printed and for copies to be given to local schools and groups.
Heather & Lay Supporting our Local Community
“Heather and Lay are genuinely delighted to be associated with this outstanding local, community-based initiative.
The guide provides great information on Falmouth’s ‘Urban Buzz’ meadows and a wildflower guide for budding botanists…
The importance of activities such as ‘Urban Buzz’ can’t be underestimated; reinforcing the need to educate, teach and enjoy nature first hand.”
After discussing with Kevin Thomas and listening to how he has been working closely with local groups to introduce Falmouth's Urban Buzz into the community and to encourage children and families to get out there through this difficult year and to explore the wildlife that surrounds us all, it has been with great enthusiasm that we have been able to support what we feel is such a worthwhile project.
So, let’s get more and more people and children out there spending time in their gardens, going on adventures in our parks and cemeteries to explore how wonderful nature really is and get a better understanding of how all these things affect us and the environment.

The importance of activities such as ‘Urban Buzz’ can’t be under estimated; reinforcing the need to educate, teach and enjoy nature first hand."
Chloe - The Sepsis Trust
Two years ago we lost our beautiful Chloe, she went into hospital for an appendix operation and died of Sepsis. Most people will not know what Sepsis is and neither did we. As you can imagine we are totally heartbroken, and we want to ensure no others die needlessly like Chloe did. Education on Sepsis will save many lives and over the last year we have been raising funds and awareness for the Sepsis Trust. Sepsis kills 44,000 people a year in the UK and most could be prevented.
If you wish to donate to our cause please do so on our just giving page by simply clicking Google and put Dave Rideout Just Giving where you can find the page and donate. (www.justgiving.com/fundraising/dave-rideout2).
We/you can save lives and stop Sepsis devastating another family by donating, bidding and telling everyone you know about Sepsis and what it is.
