Job Vacancy If you like being your own boss, working out in the
open air and enjoy all the elements our marvellous climate can
offer, we have the perfect vacancy for you: distributor(s) for
Church Road, Lyminge. This pays precisely nothing per hour.
However, your efforts will be greatly appreciated by us and the
households to which you deliver.
If this sales spiel has even slightly interested you, please
call Debbie Marsh on 863192. We need your help urgently, because
the previous distributor has moved.
As you read this month's newsletter you will notice quite a few
pieces relate to the parish plan. I would urge everyone in the
parish to fill in the survey because it is your chance to have
your say - if you don't fill in the survey, you won't have the
right to complain about things that were not done you would have
liked to have seen done!
I would like to
thank Liz Coleman for all her efforts with the inaugural Garage
Sale Safari, especially the write-ups for this newsletter.
Thanks also go to Lyminge Hardware for being the focal point
from which to get maps for the event. |
Lyminge Parish Plan Group
Questionnaire
Lyminge Parish Council has helped to establish the
Lyminge Parish Plan Group to produce a plan for the future of
our locality based on the wishes of our community. You may have
taken part in our previous activities. Now we have reached the
most important part:
The Questionnaire
It is based on the concerns you raised previously through
our projects. It is very important that you and your
household complete this as it is your main opportunity to
provide information so that an action plan for the future of
our parish can be prepared. It should only take about 20
minutes for each person to complete. It is confidential and
can not be traced back to you. Please complete it and return
in the stamp-addressed envelope provided.
New Recycling Facilities
Our local Environment Officer, Fiona
Jarrett has informed the Lyminge Association that the council
will be supplying all households with a box and a reusable bag
in July this year. Glass bottles and jars, tins and cans and
plastic bottles can be placed in the box and paper and card in
the bag. There will be a weekly collection of all recyclables
and a fortnightly collection of landfill waste and garden waste.
Environment and Street Scene will be publicising the new scheme
through letters and leaflets, public exhibitions, press and
radio ads, school assemblies and door-stepping. Isn't this good
news?
Our Very Own Marathon Man
Ever thought about running a
marathon? One village man has done more than think about it:
Chris Feist is in training to run the London Marathon in April
for a charity called 'Get Kids Going!' When I caught up with
Chris a few days ago the obvious question - apart from to
question his sanity - was: Why?
His answer was threefold: it's a good cause worth supporting,
it's a personal challenge and also because some of his friends
have. The charity provides facilities for children young people
up to 26 years old with disabilities, such as personalised
manual wheelchairs and trikes for children to use every day. The
equipment is not cheap, sometimes as much as £300 for a sports
wheelchair, £2,000 for a lightweight manual wheelchair and £800
for a trike. Chris hopes to raise £2000.
Chris he has been in serious training since September of last
year and has a running plan to build up his miles until just
before the big day. His farthest run to date was 18 miles from
Lyminge to Canterbury. He rang a friend to say he would be there
about 1 pm, left at 11 am and was there by 1pm as promised. His
reward when he arrived: honey sandwiches! He said the one great
thing you can do when you run a lot is eat absolutely anything
you want.
Chris is looking forward to the big day in April. He ran in a 10
mile fun run not so long ago, and said that was very enjoyable
because a real event has the crowd and the atmosphere. Also it
is a lot more fun running with a big group of people rather than
alone in training sessions in the forest. During the week prior
to the London Marathon Chris explained he would be carbo-loading
(a technical word for pigging out on anything that looks as
though it might have carbohydrates in it) and would be having a
sensible meal the night before. He did add that for breakfast on
the day of the event he would have - surprise, surprise - toast
and honey to set him off! He aims to complete the marathon in
around 4 hours.
If you would like to sponsor him for this worthy cause you can
either sign one of his sponsor forms held at (1) the Post
Office, (2) the New Lyminge Surgery or (3) his house, Stanley
Lodge, High Street, Lyminge. Tel: 863997. Alternatively you can
fill in the slip below and run round to his house and put it
through his letterbox at Stanley Lodge.

Your
Letters
Dear Editor: There seems to have been no feed-back regarding
the Three Wishes for Lyminge' suggested over a year ago. Why has
this taken so long? We have had a year of neglect over Tayne
Field which has left it bereft of children. When my three
children were at the Primary School it was always a popular play
area. With the sad change of greedy progress the villages are
sadly no more, instead they consist of over priced houses, too
many cars blocking up not only the main road but all the minor
ones with no access for walking or cycling safely. The money
that has not been spent for so long should be there to supply
much needed improvements to the very dangerous areas of Lyminge.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
Mrs J R Johnson
Mrs Johnson's letter raises important issues - ones I am not
qualified to answer. I'm only the editor, not a member of the
parish council! So I asked the parish plan group for a response:
The Three Wishes Campaign was a good guide to individuals'
concerns about our locality. Since then some of them have been
put into action by various bodies. For example Lyminge Parish
Council is attempting to complete the pavement at Broad Street
in spite of limited resources being available. The Lyminge
Parish Plan Group has continued to consult with the community
through the successful Roadshows and currently a questionnaire
is being distributed to all households in the parish. This
allows everyone to have their say about the future of our area.
Later in the year a report with an action plan will be produced
from all these discussions. The community and its organisations
will then be able act upon this plan.
Alistair Bailey (Chairperson, Lyminge Parish Plan Group) |
Environmental Club Update
At the end of my conversation with Mrs Bedford last month, I
requested updates about the Environmental Club on a regular
basis: This month she reports:
• Children will be supporting the 'Litter Sleuth, Campaign' in
March, so watch out for those reflective jackets patrolling our
local area.
• Posters to encourage 'clean pathways' to school and around the
village: 'Whoops there's a dog doings!'
• Thank you for supporting 'Fones 4 Schools'. The old mobile
phones are coming in to our school office. These help people in
need, so keep them coming in.
• Lastly, thank you to the Lyminge Hardware Store for supplying
us with polyantulus for the front school office. We believe in
supporting the local community shops - it saves on petrol!
A Thank You
The team at Taylor's Restaurant would like to express their
deepest gratitude for the warm welcome and support since our
arrival in the village. Initial renovations and changes to the
restaurant are completed. We look forward to the warm spring
days which will enable us to show off our new outside eating
area, at the rear of the restaurant. New items are being added
to the menu/ specials board to further enhance our services.
Lyminge Bowls Club
Our new and well-equipped pavilion is available for
hire where you may:
• Celebrate weddings, anniversaries or birthdays
• Hold fund-raising events, such as quizzes and bingo
• Stage a family reunion or other special event
Fully licensed bar with drinks at 'club prices'. Catering

ETCHINGHILL W.I.
After the usual business was attended to and birthday
posies presented to four members, we were given a talk
by Mr John Pearce. The talk was titled ‘The Mystery of
the Missing Nurse’ and was a true story from Mr Pearce’s
past experience as a Police Officer dealing with
forensic science. It was extremely interesting and gave
an insight into the amount of work that goes into an
investigation of this kind.
The competition, ‘A Medical Remedy’ was won by Mary
Hickmott.
On 5th March we will have two tables at the
Charities’ coffee morning where many bargains will be
available, including W.I. cakes, jams and marmalade!
Our next meeting on 15th March will be most
interesting, as our speaker will be the well-known and
popular, Mr Bob Ogley, who will speak on ‘Kent in the
19th Century’.
The competition is, ‘An Old Book of Kent’. |
