The new community building at Indian Queens Pit was officially opened today by Cllr Andrew Waters, the Chairman of St Enoder Parish Council.
The weather was truly appalling
in the build-up to the event at 2.00 and I would like to thank all those people
who turned up to show their support. I certainly enjoyed myself, the committee certainly enjoyed themselves and I think
that everyone else did as well.
Andrew kindly dragged me out of the
crowd to assist him with the opening, because I had secured the grant funding necessary
for the building.
I was also pleased that we were
able to launch my new booklet about the Pit and St Enoder Parish at the event.
The costs of publishing the booklet has been covered by local sponsorship and
every pound from sales of the book will go towards the improvements at Indian
Queens Pit.
The cost of the booklet is £6.00
and anyone can contact me on dick.cole.mk@gmail.com
to find out how to get a copy.

local businesses and individuals, who supported the book and who I would also
like to thank are:

Well done to all concerned and hope one day to get there and see it myself as a boy I spent so many Chapel Anniversary's in the Pit and the St Johns Ambulance Sundays.
Having been born at Higher Fraddon, lived at Retew, and Pit Lane And my final days at Hit or Miss Cottage Stamps.
I have so many fond memories.
Well done Dick.
