At a recent committee meeting of Falmouth Gig Club members we were told that some young men had been calling on homeowners in the Goldenbank area of Falmouth pretending to be collecting for the club.

They were not linked to the gig club in any way and one lady had reported the bogus callers to the police.

Club secretary Debbie Smith told the Packet: “Any fundraising done by our club wouldn’t be done door to door but it would be carried out at Falmouth Watersports Centre or at our regattas.

“People should not give any money to anyone claiming to be from the club anywhere else.”
