Lots on at St Ives Arts Club this summer.

A new comedy night opens today - The Dhynamo Show - starring local performer Dhyano with his bizarre, witty and surreal comedy. Special guests are also promised. Doors open at 8.00 pm and tickets are £6.00 - or £5.00 for club members. Available from St Ives VIC and Cafe Art. The show returns on Wednesdays 21st and 28th August.

Next Wednesday - 14th August - a new theatre production -
Imago Theatre - On The Terrace.
'In the setting of a top girls' boarding school we observe the lives of five sophisticated and elegant upper-school pupils who, being prefects, enjoy special privileges, such as the use of the terrace as their own private space. From here they exert authority over the rest of the school and punish those who transgress.'
Sounds interesting. Doors open at 7.00 pm and tickets are £6.00 - or £5.00 for club members.

Scully Day - St Ives Harbour

Scully Day - St Ives Harbour

---

St Ives Jumbo Association are holding another Scully Day on St Ives Harbour on Sunday 4th August - starting at 2.00 pm on the Old Slipway.

These are free events for the family which were introduced two years ago to  encourage as many people as possible to 'scully' - the traditional method of propelling a small boat using a single oar over the stern.

An opportunity of acquiring a new skill which, only recently, was a 'rite of passage' for any St.Ives boy yet is now at risk of being forgotten. In St Ives, at least, the art of scullying is being revived.

Also on the harbour will be St Ives Pilot Gig Club - newcomers to gig racing will be offered a chance to try their hand at rowing the gig 'Defiance'.

Scully Races will then begin at 4.30 pm.  It has been proposed that St Ives Boatmen should take on the Rest of the World!  Contestants are eagerly sought to help bring scully racing back to St.Ives.
