My name is Stephen Canning and I’m a member of Chapel Street Methodist Church.  I live in Newlyn with my wife Linda. I have three sons and a step son and daughter and a growing flock of grandchildren. I have enjoyed a rich and varied work life including the Fishermen’s Mission, the Royal Navy, a North Sea fisherman, and as a full-time RNLI lifeboatman. My ‘Retirement’ such as it is, is spent working in and for the church which I take great solace in and also as a member of the voluntary visits team at Penlee Lifeboat station.
