A couple of years ago Cornwall Council set out to identify those organisations which could broadly be described as both "cultural" and "Cornish" - two words for which precise and exhaustive definitions might still be some way off.
Nevertheless, the challenge has now been met sufficiently to call a conference at County Hall to seek ways of exploiting "Cornwall's inherent characteristics" for commercial gain. Bewnans Kernow is the outfit behind this conference, titled "Cornish Identity - Good for Business."
Speakers include Kevin Lavery (Chief Executive, Cornwall Council), Malcolm Bell (Head of VisitCornwall), Phil Ugalde (Chairman, Proper Cornish Food), Cornwall Cllr Bert Biscoe, Will Coleman (Director, CALIBAN), Julie Russell (Tourism Society, Wales) and David Bailey (Census Area Manager for Cornwall). Proceedings will be opened by the Chairman of Cornwall Council, Mrs Pat Harvey, and the Grand Bard, Mick Paynter.
It all kicks off at 10am on Saturday 12th February. I hope to be there.
