The Community Assembly of St Ives (Cornish: Porth Ia, meaning "St Ia's cove") is located in a seaside town, civil parish and port in Kernow. The town lies north of Penzance and west of Camborne on the coast of the Celtic Sea. In former times, it was commercially dependent on fishing.
The decline in fishing, however, caused a shift in commercial emphasis, and the town is now primarily a seaside resort and is also renowned for its number of artists.
During the Spanish Armada of 1597, two Spanish ships, a bark (a small three masted vessel) and a pinnace (usually rowed but could be rigged with a sail), had made their way to St Ives to seek shelter from the storm which had dispersed the Spanish fleet. They were captured by the English warship Warspite of Sir Walter Raleigh sheltering from the same storm. The information given by the prisoners was vital to learning the Armada's objectives.
Community Assemblies are made up of residents concerned about a lack of democratic process at a local and national level, dedicated to preserving and asserting our inalienable rights and obligations to ourselves, the Earth and future generations.
