Have you ever wondered about what exactly is lurking in the water in which you swim?

Anyone who likes a dip at Poldhu Cove will now get the answer – at Cury Village Hall, of all places.

The Kernow Microscopical Society is holding a laboratory session at the hall on Saturday next week, June 8.

Between 2.30pm and 5pm people will be able to drop into the hall and discover what its scientists found in a sample of water collected from the cove earlier that day.

While there is no suggestion that anything nasty is in the water, it should be a fascinating insight into what organisms, many of them smaller than the diameter of a hair, are living in the sea – and only viewable under a microscope’s lens.

Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.
