Gifted Penwith youngster, Ben Morcomb, who attends Ludgvan Primary School, showed his artistic skills to design a 'Try Card' in a recent competition organised for students who attend the Cornish Pirates Learning Zone at Penzance and the CPR Learning Space at Camborne.

His winning card had the word 'TRY' in large letters on a yellow cross, and the four quarters displayed examples of what makes Cornwall special - namely rugby, sailing, ice cream, and, of course, pasties!

At the recent Cornish Pirates versus Newport game played at Camborne, the opportunity was given for a number of young students who attend the Cornish Pirates Learning Zone to enjoy a 'Media Match Day Experience'.

Using various technology, all the youngsters thoroughly enjoyed being a sports journalist for a day, interviewing players, coaches and staff, and meeting a number of media personnel present.

At the end of another very successful term at CPLZ in Penzance & Camborne it is a time for reflection and contemplation at this very special time of year. John Watson writes:

All of our team here at ‘The Zone’ would like to thank all the players and coaching staff who have given up their time to be interviewed or present achievement awards to the children of West Cornwall, always with a smile. Your warmth and presence is a joy to us all. CHEERS Lads.
