Mission Skipper, Keith Dixon at the helm. |
The grandaughter of Nora Bolitho and two dozen guests celebrated Newlyn Mission's centenary in style with a fund raising feast of local fish followed by local beef on Friday evening. An auction of donated gifts helped raise additional mission funds - while all hands tucked into a superb spread prepared by local chef, Sanjay Kumar.
The Mission was built on behalf of Miss Nora Bolitho, of Laregan, at Street-an-Nowan, Newlyn in 1911, to provide a permanent base for the work of the mission that had been operating in Newlyn since 1892.
