Congratulations to the internet television setup myCornwall.tv for covering the Bewnans Kernow conference at County Hall - enabling me to watch and listen to proceedings without a 60-mile round-trip. The webcasting equipment appears to be that used by Cornwall Council - is this the first time it's been used by an outside, commercial organisation?
It looks as if there are about 70 people there and most of the talk so far has been about tourism, with general agreement that using the words "Cornwall" and "Cornish" are useful marketing tricks. Who'd have thought it!
Bert Biscoe has just suggested that within the next 20 years he would prefer to see a shift towards use of the word "Kernow" instead. Kevin Lavery, sitting next to him, has encouraged this conference but isn't smiling or nodding so it's hard to tell what he thinks of this idea. Incidentally, Kevin appears to be wearing a tie-less floral shirt that would have been very fashionable in 1976 (the reason I know this is that I still have mine, too.)
Time for coffee.
