Gathering the Fragments

What Societies and Society Members are doing to fulfil this fundamental principle

Valourising Cornish Minority Heritage St Ives Museum invitation Summer 2018

OCS Past Events

Cwll Archaeological Soc March

The Federation has newly published a new version of "The start of Newquay" by Rod Lyon under the new title "Early Newquay"

Perranzabuloe OCS has very recently published "Reminiscences of Perranporth from the year 1833". This originally appeared in 1939 and is well worth reading wherever you live, as it gives a real insight into the mining and fishing community before its growth into a notable seaside resort. This is also available from the Federation's bookshop
