The Fowey River Canoe Club is a small Club numbering barely 40 members.  Members' ages range from about 10 to over 70 and is well-known nationally for producing top class paddlers as well as being a friendly and hospitable club.  New members are always welcome and no previous experience is needed.  All the equipment you need is provided, as the boat has a good range of top quality, well maintained boats and can also provide paddles and buoyancy aids.  The only thing you need to bring are old clothes that you don't mind getting wet, a towel and possibly dry clothes to change into.

Beginners training sessions are on a Tuesday night and anyone wanting to come along should contact the Club through their website - Fowey River Canoe Club - or their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/foweyrivercc/

Over ten years ago, four Lerryn residents thought that it would be a good idea for like-minded ladies to sample together the food delights of Cornwall. The first outing, for 14 Lerryn ladies, was to the Tiapan restaurant in Fowey. We go out three or four times a year to a variety of restaurants and we take it in turn to organise the outings.

The Lerryn Produce Association was formed by a group of enthusiastic local gardeners during 1949 and the Annual Show has been held on the first Saturday in August since that time. From the start the Show has been organised in conjunction with Lerryn Women’s Institute who are responsible for whipping up our culinary classes.

The Show is an opportunity for enthusiastic local gardeners (whatever ability) to display their produce in a variety of classes from the most unusual shaped vegetable to beautiful flower displays.

We hold a very popular Plant and Cake Sale at the end of May each year as well as the main Annual Show the first Saturday in August.

We need both our young and older residents to help this important part of village life to continue. Please come and join us. The Annual Subscription is only £1 per year, which you can pay at our Plant and Cake Sale at the end of May or any time up to 10 am on Show Day. Please be aware that some of the trophies are only awarded to Members, so please join.

Originally built in 1926 as a village institute, the previous hall was extended in the late 1950s and dedicated to all those from the village who gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The hall was always the centre of Lerryn village life but by the end of the 20th century had become somewhat dilapidated. It was therefore decided to raise funds for a complete rebuild in time for the new millennium. Under the leadership of Francis Allfrey this was achieved using funds raised by the people of Lerryn and by outside funding. In June 2000 the hall was reopened by the Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall and re-dedicated to the memory of those who gave their lives. It continues to be known as the Memorial Hall. The new building features a snooker room with a full sized snooker table, a large hall with a stage for performances, a well equipped kitchen and three store rooms, and also an upstairs committee room. It is licensed for public performances. In the main hall are: a projector and screen for showing films; stage lights and stage curtains; and plenty of chairs and tables. As well as film presentations the hall is used on a regular basis for Pantomimes, Plays, Films, Revues and other public performances, for Lerryn School activities, Lerryn W.I. meetings, Lerryn Art Group, Lerryn Produce Association, physical activities such as Yoga and Ki Aikido, Art/Craft shows and various committee meetings. It also hosts courses, parties and weddings. Our Memorial Hall is an amenity of which we are all proud!

When booking the Hall please remember that the keys, available via the keysafe by the door, will be made available to you according to the purposes for which you have booked it. Usually, hirers need just the one key that opens the front door and most of the interior doors. However, if you book to use the hired wine/beer glasses, for example, the keys in the keysafe for you will include a key for the cupboard where they are kept. If you book to show a film, you will need keys to operate the screen and projector. Just make your proposed actiities clear on the booking form. use the booking form here.

PLEASE NOTE WHEN  PAYING FOR YOUR BOOKING THAT THE PAYMENT CANOT BE PROCESSED UNLESS YOU INCLUDE THE BOOKING REFERENCE NUMBER.  This begins with 'MH' followed by numbers up to 10,000. You will find it on the confirmation emailed to you after making a booking request.

People in the Lerryn area have never been backward about 'strutting their stuff'. Long before our present Hall was built, many a good show was hosted in the old Institute building by the Lerryn Entertainment Group.

Once we had the new Hall and a stage, a Players group was quickly formed, and they mounted a full pantomime there as early as December 2000.

This set a pattern: there has been a pre-Christmas entertainment in the Hall every year since - often, but not always, a pantomime.

By 2004, the Lerryn Players was a registered charity (1109782), with its own constitution and the beginning of its own traditions.

The LSA is made up of a small group of parents who organise and run special events during the school year with the aim to raise funds for anything and everything the school may require. We have held yearly Winter and Summer Fairs, Soup and Sweet lunches, Curry Quiz nights, Cake raffles, Easter egg hunts, Sponsored Bike rides and encourage all parents and children with their own fundraising ideas. We have been so fortunate with our relationship with Lerryn School who support us every step of the way and blessed with a wonderful group of pupils always ready to perform a song or two or run their own games and stalls at fairs. Lerryn is so fortunate to have such a kind and generous community, parents and staff. With all their help we have raised amazing amounts of money that enabled School trips, school bikes, play equipment, Litter picking tools, Yr 6 leaving hoodies and Residentials.

The Lerryn School Association are raising money to retain a second teacher for our children at Lerryn Primary School. We have been overwhelmed by the loving support from the village so far and can't thank you enough for your generosity and kindness.

A very small village organisation formed 26 years ago to encourage boating on the Lerryn and Fowey rivers. With no constitution, rules, regulations, subscriptions, fees, funds or premises, it consists solely of a committee of eight members who organise two boating events on the river each year. The committee meets irregularly at The Ship Inn to discuss, with adequate lubrication, the complexities of organising the world famous British Seagull Outboard Motor Race around Christmas time and the "Summer Solstice" event in mid-summer. Any money raised is donated to the RNLI, village organisations and local charities. For more info check the Calendar pages nearer the date.
