Etchinghill W.I. - April meeting

Mrs Syrett welcomed one visitor. After business
was dealt with she introduced our speaker Mrs J
Surrey whose subject was "pins & needles". She
had a most interesting collection of them dating
back many years, she explained the history of
them. A most informative talk especially the
different customs connected with hat pins.
The winner of the competition was Ann Gibbons,
her pin cushion on a clasp was late Georgian -
early Victorian made of Rosewood inlaid with
mother of pearl.
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 2.30.
A warm welcome awaits any visitors.

LYMINGE LIBRARY - NEW DOORS

Regular users of the library may have noticed an -
innovation - AUTOMATIC DOORS (which are
confusing staff and borrowers alike). A few hints:
On approaching the library the outer door will open
like magic (if the staff have remembered to turn the
mechanism on). If the inner door is shut a pad on
the wall in the lobby must be pressed to open it.
Once inside and wishing to get out a pad inside the library must be pressed to open the inner door.
Yet another pad (but not the same one used for
entry to the library) in the lobby must be pressed to open the outer door and allow escape.
Now, isn't that easier than simply pushing or pulling
a door to get in and out? Good Luck!

RUBBISH AGAIN!

Thank you for the good response to the appeal for
help with litter picking in Lyminge. Dates and
venues will be arranged soon. It's not too late to
join in if you would like to help keep you village tidy, just phone Steve Huntley on 862775.

Some tips on pest control from Mr Puddlefoot the guest speaker at the Lyminge Gardeners Society in March.
To control Whitefly: Mix 1 desert spoon of comfort fabric conditioner with 1 gallon of water & spray affected plants. Vine Weevil: Crush 1 mothball in a 40 litre bag of garden compost before potting up plants and vine weevil will not be a problem.
Rust: Mix 1 teaspoon of plain flour in 1 gallon of water and spray affected plants. Do not pick off individual leaves with rust, this will cause the spores to explode and spread to other plants.
Aphids: Save any slivers of soap, put into a jam jar 1/2 filled with water, keep adding soap until the contents become jelly-like. Mix 1 tablespoon of the jelly to 1 gallon of water and spray plants liberally. Do not use washing up liquid as it will leach oil from the plants, leaving white spots on the leaves.
Slugs & snails: Malt beer put in plastic milk bottle tops and placed around the garden or oats kept dry by placing into small plant pots laid on their side will kill slugs and snails. However, this is best done in April when the eggs are hatching and the young are feeding.

LYMINGE GARDENERS SOCIETY

Thank you to all who helped make the Spring Show on April 5th such a success. 47 participants entered 310 exhibits and the Methodist Hall looked almost as good as the main marquee at Chelsea! New members & first time exhibitors carried off some of the cups and certificates, giving the old hands a run for their money. Teas and home made cakes were appreciated by many visitors during the afternoon and a record amount was made on the raffle thanks to the high pressure sales techniques of Chris & Jean. On Saturday 21st June, to coincide with the Garden Safari and a flower festival in the Methodist Church to mark the 50th anniversary of the current building, the Lyminge Garden Society are organising an Inter club table competition in the Methodist Hall. Refreshments available. More details in June
