August 2002
Produced by
The Lyminge Association
JUBILEE COINS
We have been able to
distribute Jubilee Coins to all the children of Lyminge School – but
find we haven’t got quite enough for everyone else! Have no fear,
we have more on order and they should be with us soon. Now that the
Summer holidays are upon us we cannot guarantee to get them out during
August, but you should certainly receive them in September. Thank
you for your patience – and in the meantime, thank you to Stephanie
Rolph for her thank you note!

Lyminge
Village Hall
We are pleased to say that
the ladies’ toilet now has a new tile surround vanity unit and new hand
dryer, leaving only repainting to do when a colour has been chosen.
Ian Bailey has also expertly retiled the gents’ and installed a
replacement hand dryer.
A small sum has been
budgeted for an external facelift and we have been contacted by Helen Burr
and Catherine Hughes, who will kindly present a plan to the committee at
the next meeting. Peter Peacock has spoken with Tessa Bedwell, the
new Rural Community Warden, who is keen to provide assistance for the work
from young persons doing community service.
Plea – we are still looking for a secretary to take
the minutes for the 1st Monday evening in the month and handle
a small amount of
correspondence.
Don’t forget to book your weekday afternoon birthday
party for £10.00 when you bring your own paper cups and plates.

Re. Proposed
re-ordering of Lyminge Parish Church: Update
“Following the response to my notice in the October 2001 Lyminge
Newsletter concerning the proposed re-ordering of Lyminge Parish Church, I
produced a report that represented a collation of reactions that I had
received directly and indirectly from parishioners. The report was
submitted to the PCC in October 2001 and displayed for public perusal at
Lyminge Library.
“During the Parish Church AGM in March 2002, it became clear that the
Space Working Party (SWP), the group that has initiated and developed the
proposals for the re-ordering of the church interior, questioned the
validity of opposition to the proposals because the concerns had been
expressed anonymously. In order to substantiate the views held by
many people, a significant number of church users (parishioners,
congregation members, people with a connection with the church) signed the
‘Statement of Concern’ that was circulated during April 2002 and
submitted to the PC in May 2002.
“The statement read: ”We the undersigned are concerned about the
proposals to re-order Lyminge Parish Church. We believe that the
proposed re-ordering does not represent a solution to the central problems
facing the Parish Church, namely the dwindling congregation and dwindling
income. This applies with the exception of alterations that would
facilitate batter access to the church buildings for the elderly and
disabled”.
“On 9th July 2002 I received a letter from the PCC to the
effect that the views have been noted, and that they will be taken into
consideration when the PCC makes a decision regarding the implementation
of the proposals. The letter also indicated that once the PCC has
decided on the initial changes, they intended to conduct a consolation
exercise for the congregation only (i.e. not the wider group of
church-users), and subsequently inform the village as a whole of the
decision.”

The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company’s
Theatre of the Green Tour 2002
The Comedy of Babi Babbett
All those who attended the Company’s previous production
last year spoke very highly of the production – and are looking
forward to this year’s! Despite only a small cast, this
multi-talented company has clearly demonstrated that they have
honed travelling theatre to a fine art.
Traditional characters such as, Pantalone, Harlequin and Colombine
will be recognised in this riotous new play, where the setting is
1793 Islington. Babi Babett is the servant of Sydney Lean, a
rich but deeply mean retired goldsmith – and the plot seems to
have something to do with sausages (!).
Bring your own garden chairs and/or rugs and a picnic.
Tickets will cost £9.00 for adults, £8.00 for senior citizens
and £5.00 for children, students and the un-waged. There
are group rates for families and groups of 10 or more.

Thank
you
Val Bannister would like to thanks everyone who sent
messages of condolence on the death of her husband,
Mick. Thanks also to Drs. Jones and Catto and their
staff at New Lyminge Surgery, especially the District Nurses,
who supported us through Mick’s long illness.
Chris
and Mary Blanch – Thank you
Chris and Mary Blanch and family would like to say how
touched we have been for all the cards and good wishes
following the Postmaster’s fall. He sustained a broken hip,
but is making good progress and looks forward to seeing you
all again soon. Thank you for your concern and support.
Mrs.
Fran Kelsey – Thank you
Thank you to all the villagers who have helped raise
funds by donating their books. Since April, in excess of
£60.00 has been raised for the charity, CLIMB (Children
Living with Inherited Metabolic Diseases). A big thank
you to all those involved. Donations of books can be
taken to The Pottery, High Street.
W.
Aggis, formerly of Lyndon Hall
Adrian Westwood, of Hawksdene, The Street,
Hastingleigh, TN25 5HU telephone: 01233 750563, would like to
hear from anyone who has any details about the above
gentleman. Mr. Westwood is research-ing a book on “Kent’s
Secret Army” (British Resistance 1940-44), which was
officially known as XII Corps Observation Unit or Auxiliary
Units. The organisation comprised local farmers, farm
workers, shepherds etc. who knew the Kent countryside
intimately. In the event of a German invasion, their
role was to disappear underground and cause as much damage as
possible to the advancing German army. Mr. Westwood is
also keen to hear from anyone who has photographs of local
Kent Home Guard units, ideally complete with the names of the
members.

LYMINGE
GARDENERS’ SOCIETY
Saturday 17 August
It’s show time for the Society during August.
The Annual Summer Show is at the Methodist Church Hall.
The Staging of exhibits takes place between 8.00am and 10.30am
and the hall will be open from 2.00pm to 4.30pm for
visitors. If you have flowers, vegetables, pot plants etc.
which you are proud of – do enter them in the show – there
is a good chance of you wining a (small) monetary prize and a
certificate. The children’s competition consists of
three classes; a gingerbread man, a potted plant, and a face
mask made from a paper plate – and nobody has to be a club
member to enter! Schedules available from the
Library. If you do not enter anything, then come along in
the afternoon to view the entries, have a cup of tea and some
cake and enjoy good company.
Tuesday
27 August
On Tuesday 27 August there will be a table competition
with the Newington and District Gardener’s Association.
It starts at 7.30pm at the Methodist Hall, Lyminge,
Newington have won the two previous competitions (only just), so
perhaps it will be Lyminge’s turn this year. Non-members
are most welcome to come along for the evening.
Refreshments will be served and there will be a fun quiz
whilst the judging takes place.
The
Inter-Club Competition
At the Inter-Club competition held at Hythe on Saturday
29 June, the Lyminge Gardeners’ Society came a very creditable
fourth. It was an enjoyable day and the money won helped
swell club funds. Marjorie Joyce won 1st and 2nd
prizes for her roses – congratulations to her!
Garden
Tips
August is a month when it’s time to sit back and enjoy
the garden, apart from grass cutting and hedge trimming (it’s
the best month for tackling Leylandii hedges). Just let
the plants do their won thing; a little gentle dead heading in
the cool of the evening is all that’s needed. Save all
your energies for the autumn cutting-back and clearing.
