Over the last two years, under the chairmanship of David Hunt-Cooke, the Committee has continued the steady progress of improving the internal facilities and keeping the exterior safe.  We have installed new double glazed windows, two new cookers, new flooring for the club room and repainted the committee room.  We are currently exploring new heating and working with the Dramatic Society to purchase new seating for the main hall,.  We are also working in partnership with the Bowls Club, Scouts and Parish Council to improve the external lighting in the area.
At the AGM in May 2002 some of the Committee are standing down.
WE DESPERATELY NEED NEW VOLUNTEERS TO COME FORWARD TO HELP RUN THE HALL.
If you can spare an evening or two a month to do a very useful job for the village of Lyminge , please contact:

Nutmeg’s Rabbit Sanctuary, Etchinghill
Kind home wanted for TOM, a black and white neutered male rabbit. Tom had been badly neglected before he came to me, and was not used to people. He is still a bit nervous, but is responding well to the attention he now receives, and improving every day. Can anybody carry on the good work?
Also we have SAM, a friendly black lop-eared bunny, about six months old. He has also been neutered, and would make an ideal pet.
If you would be able to give either of these rabbits a home, please contact Meg on 07773 296732.

Neighbourhood Watch
Don’t buy carpets from a couple of men who are travelling the county saying that they have been working for local companies and have some carpet left.  It’s a scam.  You could end up paying over three times the actual value of the carpet – and they don’t fit it.
Please keep reporting any Nottingham Knockers who come to your door selling dusters, cloths etc.  They say they have recently come out of prison.  They are not necessarily committing any crime, but we need to know where they are working.  Please ring 01304 218151.

Lyminge W.I.
At the March Meeting of Lyminge WI we listened to a very entertaining talk on the Chelsea Hospital given by Joy Whittington, who worked there prior to her retirement.    We all, of course, know of the Chelsea Pensioners with their distinctive uniforms, but Joy’s talk was a window on history and it was a real privilege to be taken behind the scenes on the day to day running of the hospital and also to learn of some of the history.   We were all interested to learn that visitors to the hospital and grounds are welcome (and free!).

Many Thanks
Rebecca Chisnall would like to thank the many generous friends who supported the Charity Quiz Night on March 9th at Lyminge Village Hall.  This was to help fund raise to her forthcoming gap year in China with the charity Project Trust.  The evening raised £555, a magnificent sum!  Thanks to all her supporters – their generosity is much appreciated

Garden Hints for April
On giving the garden its first digging over in March, I was collecting snails by the handful.  If you are opposed to using poisons, collecting by hand is the only way.  Otherwise pellets are an alternative (check first that they are for snails as well as slugs).  The best method is to place a small amount of pellets every yard or so, rather than blanket the entire garden.  Now is also the time to clear weeds from paths.  Again, for those not wanting to use chemical means of elimination, an old kitchen knife and lots of patience is the answer.  If you have a greenhouse, Easter is a good time to plant up hanging baskets.  The pick of the plants will be in the nurseries; they are not too large and will make planting easier.  Kept frost-free and reasonably warm, when put out in June they should be filled out and flowering.
