Flog It's Paul Martin will be guest of honour when his sister and niece attempt to make it into the record books by laying out a mile of five pence pieces at the Enys Estate in Mylor next month.

Ann Congdon and her daughter, Nicola, spent 18 months collecting the 90,000 coins needed to complete the mile and thanks to help from the Penryn College Interact Club and other supporters, they reached their target in spring.

They made an appeal through the Packet for a venue to lay out the mile of coins and the team at Enys came forward and offered the use of the "big house." Ann, president Penryn Rotary Club, is now appealing for more help - to lay out all of the five pence pieces.

Ann and her team will start the task during the week leading up to Sunday, August 14, but she is hoping members of the public will join them from noon on that day to ensure they complete the mile by 5pm.

"This has never been done before by a rotary club so small and we have to thank Enys Gardens for letting me display the mile," said Ann. "On the day there will be a raffle and the cafe will be open for coffee, tea, cakes and sandwiches. We hope to see as many people there as possible."

Antiques expert Paul will be around during the afternoon to help out and to meet people and sign photos. Also attending will be the mayors of Penryn and Falmouth, Mark Snowdon and Grenville Chappel, with their wives, Diane and June.

Once the mile has been laid out, the money, which totals about £4,500, will be donated to two charities - Project Primrose, which is run by Nicola and Stefan Bolton and supports an orphanage in South Africa, and Wingz Bird and Animal Charity near Par.

One final appeal from Ann is for a volunteer to go along at around 5pm on the Sunday to verify they have reached their target of a mile of five pences. Anyone who can help should call Ann on 0777 5920202.
