FISH, TIN & LIGHT: CHRONICLES OF ST IVES

Please take a moment to watch this brilliant video of the late, brilliant Nick Cahill, made for Porthmeor Studios in April 2016.

Nick was on the CBG Council for 15 years and was Chairman from 2009-10. He sadly and suddenly passed away in March 2020. We miss him terribly, and hope that this is a little reminder of the amount of knowledge that was in his head (and that scarf!).
