Marazion Beach and Red River
Looking out over 'Red River' as it flows across Marazion Beach. As you can see it isn't very red any more - it was originally named because of discolouration from mining spoil.
Oh, and there's St Mic...

Broken Down Old Hut
I believe Stonefly posted a photo of this same old broken down old building a couple of years back.
Anyway, here it is again!...
You could put some relevant blurb on the back of the tickets, start even before they get there.
And I think they should be BIG ones too - get loads of people in at once to make sure you get maximum exposure cos that way you'd get maximum sponsorship.
Music ones - all local talent, naturally, always pull in the crowds and easily get the breweries interested in that too
Also ones celebrating Cornwall as a whole - its scenery, culture, history and it's food!!! for a more family friendly variety.
People like food and there are some good sponsorship opportunities there as well. Not only that but these companies could circulate some literature amoungst their workforce as well as part of the deal - keep the flow of infornmation constant but not intrusive and all that.
All the time these things are happening, info could be handed out and electronic signatures for petitions collected, but mainly raising the profile of the Cornish movement in a positive way so when people do see a tv ad, free dvd or flier under their windscreen it won't be a 'cold' contact.
I f you can somehow get 15 on board the advertising would be exponentially greater, but whether you would want to is another matter entirely.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to recognise the Cornish Genocide of 1549

More details:
In 1549 Cornwall rose against the Reformation and the imposition of the Church of England and its new prayer book - a change from the ways of the Roman Catholic church to those of Protestantism.
The Prayer Book Rebellion was a refusal to have English read in church. Cornwall existed with three languages - Latin in church, Cornish outside church and English when you were talking to visitors from up country.
So in 1549 they crossed the Tamar, beseiging Exeter and fighting a series of Britains most bloody battles with the King's forces in England.
In one instance, 900 unarmed bound and gagged Cornish soldiers were slaughtered in just ten minutes by the troops of Edward VI.
In another instance around a thousand surrounded rebels were burned alive when the English set fire to the village of Clyst St Mary.
The surviving few were driven back into Cornwall where thousands were hanged or otherwise slaughtered.
It is estimated that 11% of the population of Cornwall was slaughtered.
One thing that has to be sorted out, once and for all, in simple language, is the difference between the Duchy of Cornwall (what is the county) and the Duchy Estates. There is confusion and the difference has to be made clear (Help Hunlef). This is a major weakness in many a Cornish argument and the confusion is intentional!
Ellery, one criticism that you will get is that the Prayer Book Rebellion also involved people fron Devonshire. The Cornish have come under criticism from Devonians for such and any criticism takes the edge off the point we are trying to make. Some mention should be made.
