Fundraising Cowboy Hat Placard Ties
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from October 1982, we are transported back in time to witness the spirited and determined Lostwithiel Wives group embarking on a unique fundraising adventure. As they gather in Parade Square, their enthusiasm is palpable as they prepare for a three-legged, four-mile walk to Lerryn in Cornwall. Sporting an array of eye-catching attire, including placards, ties, and even a cowboy hat, these remarkable women exude both style and purpose. Their mission? To raise funds for the Cornwall Body Scanner appeal – a cause close to their hearts. With unwavering determination etched across their faces, these extraordinary ladies set off on their charitable journey through the picturesque Cornish countryside. Photographer Jonathan Barker expertly captures the essence of this momentous occasion. The image not only freezes this vibrant scene in time but also preserves the spirit of community and camaraderie that defines Lostwithiel. It serves as a testament to the power of unity when individuals come together with shared goals. This photograph is more than just an archival piece; it encapsulates an era where ordinary people took extraordinary steps towards making positive change within their community. It reminds us that even small gestures can have significant impacts when fueled by passion and collective effort. Displayed at Royal Cornwall Museum today, this print stands as a tribute to those brave women who selflessly dedicated themselves to raising funds for such vital causes while leaving behind an enduring legacy of compassion and resilience.
