	If that ensures the continued existence of the club, it has to be great news. Hopefully this means plans can be made in time for next season. Obviously, we all know that changing owners can be risky, but given that are already long time sponsors, we have to assume that they have the best interest of the club at heart. Unfortunately, I will not make it to Penzance this season, work means I am travelling.
