Farewell to Peter Edmead

Farewell to Peter and Barbara

The photograph above shows a group of friends of Peter and Barbara Edmead at their home near Nancegollan. The friends met on 26th August to wish Peter and Barbara well as they move  to a smaller home near Weymouth.  Peter has been a very active member of Cornwall Humanists and has worked regularly as a hospital volunteer. He visits people who are in hospital, to talk with them, adding to the religious pastoral service, for the growing number of people who do not hold a religious belief.

We hope that you both enjoy your new home, and do keep in touch!

Cornwall Humanists – Cornwall Pride 2018

Above you can see the stall run by Cornwall Humanists at the Cornwall Pride 2018 event.
It was held at Killacourt, Newquay, a grassy area above Towan Beach, on Saturday 25th August. The weather was perfect with sunshine and a gentle breeze, showing off the rainbow costumes to best advantage.

Carrie and Peter ran the stall and had many people coming up close to try to recognise the photographs of well known supporters of Humanist ideas.  There were free lapel badges with messages, and the “Good without God” badges were all taken.

Peter and Carrie chatted with many people as they came along and were happy to hear the positive views of Humanism expressed by most visitors to our stall.

The atmosphere was friendly and joyous, with some amazing combinations of rainbow clothing on display.

Well worth attending with our stall next year.
