Cover picture: the early part of the month left our landscape a silent black and white wonderland. Not so pretty if you were amongst the unfortunate ones stuck overnight on the A30!
Editorial
The heavy snow in the first week of February will have made many people think that idea of ‘man-made global warming’ is a misunderstanding of nature (they always trot out the old saw that global warming is ‘part of the normal cycle’, not understanding that the rate of change we are experiencing now, has no precedent in millions of years) ...or something made up by those who wish to do down the fossil fuel industry. However, when we look at the bigger picture, we have to accept that climate change really is happening, and not only that, happening at an ever-increasing rate.
So, the rhetorical question I am posing is this: “What are you personally going to do to mitigate the effects of global warming?”
We have to face the fact that successive governments across the globe have failed to ’bite the bullet’ and do anything about this situation. Mealy-mouthed words and promises don’t fix the amount of global warming gases going into the atmosphere. We talk about biomass generation yet the global warming impact of this is possibly worse than what it is meant to replace - due to the transport of biofuels across the oceans and the chopping down of important forests. We are predicted to get many more extreme weather events as time goes on: wetter winters, stronger winds; hotter, drier summers. One only has to look at the horrific effects of forest fires and droughts in different parts of the world to get a foretaste of what we may all have to put up with; if not us, then our children and grandchildren will be the ones to suffer.
Can we do anything on an individual basis, or should we just ‘stick our heads in the sand’ and hope for the best? I’m not sure we can change the way our governments work - they are too much in thrall to the fossil fuel lobby, as shown by the push for fracking to extract gas from under the ground. On a personal basis, we can make sure we are well insulated in our homes, wind and water proof. Burn a little less fuel. Don’t buy stuff that comes on a container ship or plane. If you live near sea level, get a boat!
Rob.

TREBULLETT METHODIST CHURCH (contribution by Jill Price)
As usual with the chapel, February has been a quiet month with
our usual services but no events to report. We held an events meeting in January to plan ahead for 2019 and there are some very exciting events ahead for you all to come to.
On 23rd February (after this issue has gone to print) Tabitha hosted a coffee and cake morning for Marie Curie. I am sure it will be well supported and will be reported on in the April magazine.
On 2nd March we are holding our event to support Comic Relief – a beetle drive followed by pancakes so that we incorporate Shrove Tuesday but a little early! Please come along to enjoy the evening
and support Comic Relief - see advertisement below.
Mothering Sunday is 31st March and our young people have arranged a service at 11am to celebrate this day. If you would like
to come to join us on this special Sunday, you will be very welcome.

Lezant Lunch Club -January 30th 2019
Numbers of diners were de-pleted for the first meal of 2019
due mainly to ill health and ap-
pointments. Brenda, as usual,
entertained the small group with
one of her anecdotes before the waitresses served everyone with
beef and vegetables. Tasty
sponge pudding and custard
followed before Ann Sheldrake
was introduced to give her talk on her experiences with horses
and disabled people driving a carriage containing their wheelchairs.
Ann has been involved with horses for many years and is an assessor of
trainee drivers of the carriages both when living in Sussex and in this area too.
There were around 600 groups in the U.K., all relying on volunteers who must obey Health and Safety rules, be trained and insured. Before this ruling came
into force the group that Ann was once with had a volunteer who, while not
allowed to handle the horses was given a job of painting a wall. He fell from a
ladder and claimed substantial damages for his injuries. He turned out to be an
ex convict. Four volunteers are needed to load each disabled driver and the wheel chair into the carriage. There is always a shortage of people to help.
The various groups put on shows for the general public. The competitors are
divided into different classes from Novice to the more experienced able to win
rosettes and prestige. The first section in eventing, is Dressage; next, Country
Roads, Coned Tracks and lastly Obstacles. For some time Ann’s horse was called Queenie, which occasionally caused some hilarity, especially when urg-
ing the horse to go faster as she called, “Come on Queenie, come on
Queenie.” Ann has competed against Prince Philip. Once, on a foggy course
she was asking herself how she should complete the course, when a voice be-
hind her explained. It was Prince Philip.
There is a “Riding for the Disabled” group in Tavistock which meets twice a
week. Contact Ann Sheldrake for more information on 01579 370 798.
Anyone who would like to join the Lezant Lunch Club please telephone Ruth on
01566 782286 or Audrey on 01566 773062 for more details and to reserve a place.

LAWRENCE HOUSE MUSEUM
Going postal!
Lawrence House Museum will be opening for the 2019 season on Monday 1 April but
before we do, we have some questions for you connected with our first exhibition for
the year which is about the GPO – The Great British “General Post Office”. The exhibi-
tion is curated by museum volunteer, Carol Bunbury aided by local stamp enthusiast,
Viv Sandercock who has loaned stamps and postal and telegraph equipment for his
own collection. In the course of organising the exhibition Carol found that there was so
much more to the PO than she had ever realised. So do you know when it was founded
and when it was disbanded or why we had the “Royal” mail. What were the early post-
men’s uniforms like? Where was the Launceston Telegraph Office? Where was the
manual telephone exchange? And who was Sir Francis Ronalds, what did he have to do
with the GPO and why did his mother have cause for complaint?
Perhaps you do know the answers but if you don’t make sure you visit the museum
early this year. Also new on display this year a superb collection of evening wear as well
as old favourites the model railway and the working Polyphon.
Lawrence House Museum re-opens on Monday 1 April 2019 at 10.30am. Entry to the
museum is still free so you can come as often as you like. Opening times are 10.30am –
to 4.30pm (last entry 4.00pm) Monday to Friday, all Bank Holidays. You can contact the
museum by telephone on 01566 773277 and by email: lawrencehousemu-
[email protected] Check out our website at www.lawrencehousemuseum.org

“Faulty Communications: Living with Istanbul’s Earthquake Threat”
Professor Iain Stewart, Professor of Geoscience Communica-
tion, UNESCO Chair in Geoscience and Society, University of Plymouth and Director of its Sustainable Earth Institute, will talk about Turkey’s North Anatolian Fault which is primed for seismic rupture and it is likely that a future destructive earth-
quake will be within striking distance of Istanbul. So how do you prepare a city of over 13 million people for a potential seis-mic calamity? How do we translate our scientific understanding
of the earthquake hazard into meaningful preparedness and improved safety on the ground? Drawing on examples from
Japan and Italy as well as Turkey, Iain Stewart explores the fault lines between
reason and faith in communicating to at-risk communities the myth of solid
ground.
