JAMES
BUTCHER WAS ELECTED PARISH COUNCILLOR
From:
Glenn Floyd, Bedingfield House, High Street, Lyminge
I
would like to congratulate James Butcher on his election success on Thursday
15th March 2001. The
result was close and very disappointing for me to lose by just 10 votes.
I should have liked a larger turn-out, but I am sure the rain in the
afternoon did not help matters. It
was however, a very respectable total and I consider it endorses my
commitments stated in my election leaflet.
I will continue to work for the village and intend to stand again
when a Parish Council seat is available,
I also intend to continue to attend Parish Council meetings (as a
member of the public) to ensure I am aware of the issues being discussed,
especially regarding my election commitments.
Finally, I would also like to thank the people who voted for me and
the tremendous support I received from well wishers whilst delivering my
election leaflet, A special
thank you goes to the small team of helpers who not only delivered leaflets
for me but also gave me a lot of moral support during the campaign.
From: James Butcher, The Cedars, Church Road, Lyminge
Thank
you to everyone who voted on Thursday 15th March.
It was quite an experience to witness at first hand the workings of
our democratic process. The
turnout was just over 12% - apparently not untypical for a parish council
election. That said, there were
clearly plenty of people who weren’t aware an election was taking place,
or if they were, didn’t attach much importance to the event.
As I said in my election leaflet, I’d like to find ways to
encourage interest and involvement from a wider range of people in the
Parish, which to start with means making sure people are better informed
about the business the Council is dealing with, and giving everyone a real
chance to make a contribution.

Handbells – Good as New
The

March the 14th and the first practice with the gleaming,
‘good as new’ bells took place on Sunday the 18th.
Not only do they look good but the sound is much richer too.
We are, unsurprisingly, keen to play them within the village and
local area straight away. We
will be playing at Lyminge Day on the 12th of May and at other
local events during the summer. If
you would like to hear the sound of our super newly refurbished bells
earlier, at a special celebration or family event, then let us know some
weeks in advance and we will do our best to come along.
Evenings and weekends only please.
We also hope to recruit more ringers this year to make it easier
for us to attend all the events we are asked to play at. If you would like
to book the ringers, or want to have a go yourself just call either Ro
Edmond on 863201 or Stuart Hunnisett on 862530 for details.

Sibton Park Flood Appeal
As everyone in the Village knows, this winter has been the wettest in living
memory and the Cricket Club has become Lyminge’s newest tourist site, with
millions of gallons of water on the pitch and well over three feet of water
throughout the Clubhouse.
Now that the water is starting to recede, it is time to put our fund raising
plans into action. During the past few months I’ve approached local firms
and businesses, as well as our own club members, for raffle prizes and
I’ve been overwhelmed with the response. I would like to take the chance
to thank them publicly and also the many people who have donated to the
fund.
On the evening of Saturday 21 April we will be holding a fund raising night
at the Village Hall. During the evening we will be drawing the winners of
the raffle as well as holding a disco. Entry to the evening will be £5.00,
with all the money going into the fund. Raffle tickets are available now
from members of the club and anyone who would like to purchase should see a
member or may contact me on 862000. Ticket prices are 50p a ticket or a book
for £2.50.
I would like to thank everyone for the support given to us during our time
of need and would like to reassure everybody that with this help we will be
back playing cricket at the Park and be able to restore the ground to its
picturesque and serene best.

Reports
Parents
and Friends of Lyminge School
The search for funding for the IT suite moves on and we are now approaching
companies and charitable trusts. We have raised approximately £10,00 to
date. Much of the success has been through the kind support of the village
and surrounding area.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mrs. Mount, Ms Nightingale
and Mrs. Smith for their kind donation of fabrics etc. to enable us to make
craft items to sell at our School Christmas Market. Thank you to Mrs. Kirk
for her kind donation to the building fund.
Many thanks to Lyn Callander who was a found-er member of the Parents and
Friends of Lyminge School twenty five years ago this year, who contacted me
and has offered her help and support.
We also thank Lyminge Newsagents and their customers for collecting the
numerous tokens from their newspapers for the school – and last (but not
least) thank you to everyone who has been saving their Tesco Computers for
Schools tokens.

enjoyed it. D. Bain.

Gardening Tips for April
With unprecedented winder rain and the cold snap mid-March, gardeners have
been unable to do little if any, outside work, so April this year will have
to be a time for catching up. Lawns, in particular, need some T.L.C. Rake
well and spike before a first mowing, followed by feeding and maybe and
application of moss killer. Borders need to be weeded and mulched and some
attention paid to slugs and snails, which are already making short work of
spring bulbs as they flower. We will have to offer up a collective
gardeners’ plea for a warm, sunny April, without any seasonal showers!

I can mend things for which there is no recognised repairer. Call me

Sabre Conservatories, Windows
and Doors
We manufacture beautiful double-glazed PVC-u units in our own
factory to exacting standards. We can also boast of being only one
of five companies in the UK manufacturing the fantastic slim-line
Marshall Tufflex system Vertical Sliding Sash Window, which caries a
severe weather rating. So, if you have old box sash style windows
and believe PVC-u would look out of place, think again! Maintenance
free, sealed units, spring loaded balances, slim-line appearance and
decorative 'horns' make our Vertical Slider one of the best on the
market. Remember, we are suppliers to the trade both in the UK and
Europe - they know a good window when they see one!
