Book Launch - H2H
What a great turn out there was last night for the launch of David and Jan Penprase's much anticipated sequel, Harbour 2 harbour. Well done to all those who have been involved in bringing it all together.
It was brill to finally see all the great images that they had worked so hard, and so long to put together. There are certainly some real characters in the village, and David's eye captured them in such beautiful detail.

Fantastic effort. I don't know where you both find the energy but I sense a well earned break on the horizon.
Well done again to you both. It's a wonderful legacy for the community to have in it's archive.

HARBOUR 2 HARBOUR
It's quite a massive undertaking (well done for taking it on again) and as always fundraising is key.
Local support has been generous and so far raised around £7000 in sponsorships but another £5,000 is still needed to enable the reprint the first ( HARBOUR TO HARBOUR ) which were snapped up and enough of the new one ( HARBOUR 2 HARBOUR ). The more books that are produced will mean more money generated from their sale to go to charity.
Anyone interested in making a donation to the project or has any fundraising ideas should email / contact David or Jan on david@davidpenprase.co.uk or phone 01326 562838.
Profits from the sale of these publications will go to Cornwall Hospice Care at Hayle and Edgcumbe and some to CHSW.
For the latest up to date information on the project please visit there website harbourtoharbour.co.uk

HARBOUR to HARBOUR BOOK
A fabulous publication which offered a snapshot into the history of many of the faces that live and work in the village of Porthleven.
The beautiful black and white portrait images were taken by award winning Cornish photographer David Penprase and collated by his wife, and partner in crime Jan over the course of a year and a half.
Published in February 2011, the Hard Back version of 100 sold out in four days and 1000 of the soft backs in under four weeks.
The project was a huge success and sales from the book raised over £20.000 for the Childrens Hospice South West at St Austell (CHSW).
