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
