New boat for World Championships!


Fantastic News! Due to the fantastic work of a small group of fundraisers (you know who are) and the overwhelming support of the local community, Looe Rowing Club have officially reached the magic figure to pay for their new gig!


The event that tipped the scales, was an amazing evening with Johnny Cowling.


A truly unforgettable night, were no-one was safe from Johnny’s sharp wit, just ask anyone that dared get up from their seat!


Looe Rowing Club would like to thank everyone who came,


and a big thank you to Looe Bay Holiday Park for hosting and the Rowing Club’s very own Katherine, without whom the night would not have taken place.


Looe Rowing Club were absolutely blown away to discover they raised over £4700 on the night, and once again are very grateful to the Barclays colleagues who helped make the event happen and in return for their efforts will be matching £4000, taking the total raised to over £8700!

Green Tea bags will decompose within 30 days


A local firm has responded to what it believes is a growing demand for green products from consumers.


‘Statistics show that consumers are increasingly demanding biodegradable and organic produce,’ said Duncan Bond, managing director of the Cornish Tea & Cornish Coffee Company.

Based in Looe, the family- owned business has been looking at how it can bring environmentally-friendly products to its customers.


Now the company has launched


a new range of biodegradable teabags that will decompose within 30 days.


Duncan, pictured, said: ‘This is another one of our business milestones, it is incredibly important for us to be at the forefront of environmental packaging.


‘This isn’t just a commercial decision, it’s a moral one too.


‘Our ethos when we developed our new Fusion bags is carried through to the tea we select being organic – it’s all part of the equation.’
