CALSTOCK PARISH LOCAL HISTORY GROUP;
This group was formed in April 1999, and has some 200+ members. It meets on the last Saturday in the winter months at Tamar Valley Methodist Church at Albaston to listen to a talk given by one of the group, or a visitor. During the summer different visits or field trips are organised. CPLHG is now formally affiliated to Calstock Parish Archive. A newsletter, called Tamar History, is published three times a year with reports of recent meetings and a brief look at news and research. At the moment, membership is £6 per annum + £2.50 post and packing (+ £5 post and packing for overseas members), 50% of the subscriptions being donated to the Calstock Parish Archive Trust.
Benefits of becoming a member include a free copy of Tamar History three times a year and 50% reduction of entrance fees to Calstock Parish Local History Group Events . If anyone wishes to go on the emailing list please contact Lorna Potter - lornabc@talktalk.net.

“Freemasonry Unveiled”
A talk by Robin Clowes.
Meet at 7.30pm in the Cotehele Masonic Lodge, Sand Hill, Calstock PL18 9QX. Please note this is in Calstock, nowhere near Cotehele! Parking on the quay is the best idea.
Monday 7th August
Visit to Crownhill Fort, 11am to 3 pm
The fort, at PL6 5BX,was built in the 1860s to protect us from French attack.
Meet at 11 am at the Fort for a private tour which will last about 2 hours. It will include parts of the Fort that the public tours don’t offer.
After the tour there will be time to wander around unaccompanied. A ‘pop up’ café has been arranged to provide snacks and drinks.
This will be a joint visit with the Friends of the Tamar Valley, so we hope to have a good number of people interested in this visit.
The maximum number of people on a tour is 40, so 20 from each group; first come, first served.
If we get 24 between us the cost will be £5.00 per person - more people less money.
Please let Lorna know by Thursday 13th July that you wish to attend. As soon as Lorna knows the number she will advise you of the cost.
