The very first Port Navas calendar has been printed and will go on the sale at the Regatta on August 7th. It has been created by Lee Frost and Melissa Cooke and features a selection of photographs and painting by both PN residents and local artists.
The calendar is A3 in size and will be sold for £10 per copy with a clear protective sleeve or £10.50 with an A3 card mailer so it can be posted out to family and friends.
If you don’t manage to grab a copy at the regatta, you can buy one (or several!) after August 7th by phoning Ann Frost on 07952 622237 or emailing annfrost19@gmail.com.
All profits from sales of the calendar will be shared between the PN Regatta charities and PN Village Hall.
Thank you to J and D for our wonderful new bench. Sit and enjoy the tranquility and blossom. The garden is maintained by Cate and Pauline with a small band of volunteers for all the community to enjoy. Do walk over the bridge and enjoy this special little oasis.
All the usual water races – rowing, swimming, paddle board and kayak races, run and row. Children’s races in the field and a fancy dress theme of Mystical Creatures. There’s also a number of our favourite games for all ages. In addition, we have It’s A Knock Off with the return of the greasy pole – 4 strapping lads battling it out be the last one on the pole and you can back the winner to win the main prize.
Food van from 2.30pm to 8.30pm. PNYC bar from 2.30pm to 9pm. Rum concession, coffee and tea concession, cake stall with individually wrapped small cakes from Sally Martin.
Prize giving around 6-6.30 pm followed by some amazing local Cornish singers. Come and join us outside on The Oyster Quay and at the club; help keep this tradition going; have a lovely afternoon and early evening; and help us raise money for some great local charities in the process.
Hand sanitiser will be provided at various places around the event. Everything is taking place outside in the fresh air.
If you would like to help with setting up, or running a game for an hour, or helping during the event or with helping to clear up and you haven’t already been contacted, please just drop me a line – admin@pnyc.co.uk It would be much appreciated.

THE TOLMEN CENTRE
The best folk band you’ve never heard of…” say the Guardian; a collection of multi-instrumentalists who swap styles as often as they swap instruments. A “passionately ramshackle” quintet playing their own brand of “triumphant folk” while journeying around Europe in a vintage Renault 4.
Equally at home on the main stage or the corner of an old barn, the boys treat each gig with the same gusto, bringing you their high octane, theatrical stories and songs in a journey through just about every genre of music.
Pre-show cafe meals must be booked in advance by phoning 01326 340630.
£12 (children £6)
THE TOLMEN CENTRE
Constantine Book Club Plus
A live streaming of Cathy Rentzenbrink in discussion with the award winning author Patrick Gale. A fundraising event in aid of Emmaus, the charity working to support homeless people in Cornwall.
