Notice Board
Robin Menneer
We are sorry to announce the loss of our Founder, Robin Menneer, who died on 6th March 2018, peacefully at home aged 85. Robin's dedication to Cornwall's historic hedges after his retirement led to his founding the Guild of Cornish Hedgers in 2002, along with the Guild's first Steward Patrick Semmens. Robin's tireless work and enthusiasm raised public awareness, and secured the Heritage Lottery grant facilitating successful training of new and qualified Cornish hedgers. He devoted his own time to writing down the body of knowledge on Cornish hedges, at a time when the craft was endangered by the passing of the last generation of old traditional hedgers. He set up the Cornish Hedges Library website at cornishhedges.co.uk to make the information freely available. In 2013 he was made a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, in recognition of his achievements in the cause of Cornish hedging. Robin was a rare and fine personality, a genuine Cornish eccentric, commanding much respect and love, and he will be very sadly missed.

Cornwall Shows 2017
Another very rewarding series of shows for 2017. A numerous number of good contracts were gained through out Cornwall, and Cornish hedging is coming back into its own helped a great deal by HLF funding. Hope also to see some newer members at the 2018 shows. Thanks to all who helped in 2017
