Lyminge Association News

1. The Annual General Meeting
The Speaker at the Annual General Meeting will be Peter Eustace, the Site Co-ordinator of Sibton Park Development (Holiday Property Bond Management Ltd.). The meeting will be held on Wednesday 29 September at the Village Hall, starting at 7.30pm. There will only be a short amount of business before the talk. HPB started to convert the house into 13 apartments create 28 cottages in the ground at the end of last October and Bondholders should be able to start holidaying at Sibton park in January 2000. Leisure facilities planned on the site include the existing swimming pool, tennis courts, a grass bowling green and a pitch and putt course. This will be your opportunity to gain advance information and to quiz Mr. Eustace on any points of concern. Refreshments will be served.

2. Bulb Planting
The Lyminge Association is masterminding a bulb-planting day on Saturday 11 September. If we plant bulbs then, they will flower for the first time in the Millennium year. We have allocated a number of sites around the Parish, which we think would be brightened by daffodils and narcissi, and are currently seeking the permission of the landowners to do this. We have the promise of a very generous donation of bulbs to start us off, and the Parents and Friends of Lyminge School have kindly agreed to purchase some (we very much hope that the children who help plant the bulbs will remember this Millennium effort), but we would be very glad of donations! If you happen to see "buy one get one free" or similar offers in the next month or so, please bear the Parish in mind! Please give Liz Coleman a ring on 863197 if you can help - and watch this space for more details next month!

3. Local Clubs, Societies and Associations
An updated list of local Clubs, Societies and Associations should now be in the Library. The Association is very grateful to Mike Foxon for all the work he has put into this - it has been a mammoth task - and you can be sure that it will be out of date already! Please let Mike have all the corrections and up-dates, and particularly, when your club's committee changes. Mike can be contacted on 862073.


Parish Council News

1. Road Junctions
The Parish Council is increasingly concerned about the parking of vehicles close to road junctions. The vehicles obscure the sight-lines of motorists entering and leaving the junctions. Vehicles should be parked well away and off the road if possible. The Police are aware of particular black-spots, but all we ask is for common sense to be used. The same applies to vegetation which overhangs pavements and roads.

2. The Parish Hedgerow Survey
Work has started on the Hedgerow Survey, but more volunteers would be appreciated! For more information, please contact Patsy Philip on 862983.

Thoroughly Wood's thoroughly destroyed!

Monday 28 June is not a date Lyminge is likely to forget in a hurry! Never had we seen so many fire appliances in the village at any one time. The fire started at 11 o'clock when a fluorescent light tube exploded in the paint shop and the resultant fire spread quickly into the roof space.

Everyone (including a gerbil) evacuated quickly, but leaving personal effects including tools and car and house keys in the building.

Fortunately the file containing details of work in hand and future orders was also rescued - but nothing else. The only thing that remains of the Lyminge Thoroughly Wood is a sign, which has now been erected on the bulldozed site, which had been used previously at Etchinghill Golf Club, where the firm had sponsored a hole in a recent match!

It is to the great credit of the Fire Brigade that damage to neighbouring property was minimised - and it was fortunate for some (including your Editor's family!) that the wind was a westerly that day. Concerns have been raised that the Brigade had difficulty in locating fire hydrants, and indeed it was a matter discussed at the Parish Council meeting that night.

We understand that the Water Board and the Fire Brigade have been working together to locate all the local points. If there is a hydrant near your house, perhaps you should "adopt" it - keeping an eye on it to check for damage and to ensure it is kept clear of vegetation. Fire Hydrants are the ultimate responsibility of the Fire Brigade.

A Trust Fund has been established for all those who may wish to contribute to the replacement of the tools owned personally by Thoroughly Wood's young staff members, which were not covered by the firm's insurance. Contributions can be received by most of the shops in the village. Any surplus to the funds will be given to the Lyminge Millennium fund.

Temporary premises for Thoroughly Wood have been found at Unit 5, Martello Industrial Estate, Neason Way, Off Foreland Avenue, Folkestone. Telephone 251900. Mark Linham ("the boss"), wishes to convey his sincere thanks to all the local people for all their concern and good wishes and he apologies for the damage which has been caused. The firm hopes to be back as soon as possible, in specially designed, thoroughly suitable, premises.


Letter to the Editor

The authors of the following letter (dated 12.07.99.) wish to remain anonymous. Readers are reminded that publication of any letter does not necessarily mean that the views expressed are those of the Editor or the Lyminge Association. Letters to the Editor (which should be less than 200 words) are welcome on topics of local interest and rights of reply are given.

"Many of you are already aware that outline planning is being sought for a house and garage to the rear of Normandy, 19 Station Road, Lyminge with its access onto Nash Hill. What is not generally known is that the existing property and land is also for sale and that the deal is to include Planning permission within its grounds.

"We have good reason to believe that negotiations are in hand between the owners and a proposed purchaser with a view to further developments of a business nature.

"Notification has been received today from the local Planning Authority, which states that even ahead of the hearing outline planning will probably be granted despite the numerous objections.

"The paring problems caused by excessive office development in this locality can only be exacerbated if in fact this goes ahead. The Planning Department informs us that car parking on this site would be severely restricted and so would not provide the solution to any future parking problems caused.

"Has there not been enough infilling and office development in this village already? No account has been taken to date of the concerns of the residents on Nash Hill, or of the considerable dangers to our senior citizens and children who use the Greenbanks walkway and hill en rout to the shops and local school. How will the Emergency Services reach anyone in need whilst construction is in progress?

"If common sense is to prevail before the heart is completely ripped out of this village or another even more tragic incident as recently occurred in North Lyminge happens again, we all need to say NO to this now!"

"Start by writing to our local parish council and ask them to support the village community this time before it is once more too late."

Editor's Postscript: The Parish Council discussed this matter at their meeting of Monday 28 June, the minutes of which are displayed on the notice board near the Post Office.

Reports



Wool

Thank you, thank you everybody for responding so generously to my plea for scraps of unwanted wool for blankets. I now have enough for another 60 odd blankets - a bit beyond my life span I guess! But I'll be doing my best. Daphne Wrathall.


Lyminge W.I.

Our meeting on the 13th of July was our Horticultural Show. First we must thank Mrs. Joyce for judging it once again. Winners were Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Wareham, Mrs. Norton, Mrs. Hodson, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Shilton, Mrs Childs, Mrs. Lofty and Mrs. Hughes.


Parents and Friends of Lyminge School

A BIG thank you to everyone who helped make our Victorian Summer Fayre a huge success. We raised a massive £1,200.00 towards purchasing extra equipment for our children to use.

The outing to Paddock Wood went well and the weather was good. On 7th July a coach party of 52 friends and members enjoyed an afternoon drive lasting three hours. We stopped at Fordwich and came back past the Viking Ship at Pegwell Bay. A lovely cream tea awaited us at Oak Tree Tea Rooms. On 14th July Liz Coleman came to the Club and explain plans of future events to take place in the village for the Millennium.

Gardening



Gardening Hints for August

Vine Weevil eggs hatch during August and September, so now is the time to apply a biological control. Take cuttings of tender perennials. Cut back hardy geraniums and alchemillas to encourage new growth. Trim back young growth on pyracanthus to give a good winder display of berries. Trim leylandii hedges. Reducing the height by a third will do no harm and should also please the neighbours.


Congratulations!

Many congratulations to Mr. D. Godden, who represented Lyminge in the Federation of Horticultural Societies at the Kent Show at Detling in July. Despite the fact that he did not enter as many classes as usual (being a Judge for most of the Floral Entries), he gained a total of 12 points.
