The Cornwall Association was founded in 1970 covering the whole of the County.

After some years different areas started their own Associations, Penwith to the West of the county, North Cornwall to the North East and East Cornwall to the South East.

Central Cornwall remained from Camborne and Redruth in the West to Lostwithiel in the East and from the North to South coasts between those points. Membership of any of the four associations allows members to join the activities of all the others if they wish.
