At the end of February, Past President Jon Symons was on hand outside the Rotary Shop to present a cheque to 'St. Piran in Penzance, a group with the aim of perpetuating an understanding about and celebration of the patron saint of Cornwall.
Here in Penzance, the group organises the annual performance of the St. Piran Furry dance with a procession of around 500 school children, dancing and playing musical instruments, followed later by the St.Piran school's concert.
