Week St
Mary Revel’s 50th Anniversary was held
on Saturday 17th September despite high
winds and showery rain – Jeff said we
would have a fine afternoon and in
essence we did! |
This year’s Harvest Queen, Jasmine
Parkin and her attendants Jade and Zara
Turner and Page Boy Connor Pugh
travelled in procession on a Harvest
float driven by Jon Parkin. The
procession was led by Trina Ward bearing
the new 50th Anniversary Revel Banner,
followed by Camelford Town Band (
sponsored by Dick Bolt), a host of Fancy
Dress contestants mostly dressed in
1960’s style and twenty two former
Harvest Queens!
Jasmine’s crowning ceremony was held in
the church, due to the unpredictable
weather, and was crowded with well
wishers. The former Harvest Queen,
Eloise Cartwright, handed over the
Harvest Queens sash and crowned Jasmine
Queen of the Harvest for the next year.
The Revel Fair was held on the Playing
Field and included Fancy Dress Judging
by Joyce Pugh, a Parade of Harvest
Queens and a Dog Show (separate report
from Victoria and Dick Sowerby) rounded
off by a sumptuous Revel Tea in the
Parish Hall organised by Hilda Axford,
Margaret Johns and all their faithful
helpers.
All the Queens and all the Revel helpers
were presented with commemorative medals
by Jean Martin. Thanks to David and Jean
for their sponsorship of the medals. |

Chris Jordan announced the winner of the
recent Scarecrow Festival who was
Shirley Reed of Penfold Cottage with
‘The Fantastic Mr Fox’ The Festival
raised over £500 towards the Revel Fund.
Results Round Up :
Name the Teddy: the winner was J Balsdon
who guessed the name Mitch.
Guess the weight of the cake made by
Desmond Medland was won by Leigh Horrell
and Nicola Pugh who both guessed the
weight as
5lbs 1oz. They drew for the winner who
turned out to be Nic Pugh who decided to
share the cake with Leigh.
The Fancy Dress contest was very well
supported and judged by Mrs Joyce Pugh
who was the first Revel Queen.
The winners were as follows:
Under 5s Joint First Jasmine Gimblett
and Alice Gribble, Joint First in the
group entry for under 5s were Lily and
Madi Johns and Kanae Van der Linden as
‘Flower Power’ and Chloe and Isobel
Martyn and Tegan Curtis as the Flower
Pot men.
In the 5-12s class First Prize went to
Georgia Leete, 2nd to Tia Van der Linden
and 3rd to Molly Hill. The group first
prize for this age group went to Kean
and Zak Cock with Beth and Toni Horrell
and Callum and Alfie Johns with Bodhi
Van der Linden and Charlie Satchell.
The Lamb’s weight was 65.2kg and the
closest guess made by Peter Coulson, who
needs to contact 01288 341374 to claim
his prize leg of lamb which is resting
in a Week St Mary freezer at present.
In the evening Mike Goodman organised a
‘Cornish Leg Wrestling Contest’, there
was a bar, run by the Football Club and
a barbecue and meat roast. It is fair to
say that a very good time was had by all
despite the showers and the evening was
finished off with a fantastic fire
sculpture created by Keith Horrell,
celebrating the 50th anniversary of the
Revel. |
Week St. Mary Revel Dog Show
|
The weather was indifferent for
the 7th Revel Dog Show which
probably accounted for this
year’s somewhat reduced entry in
that only 17 dogs took part.
Although by the afternoon the
wind had dropped, it did not
actually rain and all
participants and their owners
appeared to be enjoying
themselves. There were six
classes with the winner of each
class competing for Revel Dog of
the Year 2011. Our grateful
thanks go to Dave Soul for his
generous sponsorship and to
Alice Wise who did an excellent
job as judge. Thank you to all
the participants who despite the
conditions made the event a
success and enabled us to raise
£35 towards the Revel funds.
