Newsletter Distributor(s) Needed!

Liz Fry and Lyn Fagg have been delivering Newsletters as a temporary measure - for the last 10 years! They are now 'retiring'. Volunteers are sought, therefore, for their 'patch' which encompasses Skeete and Woodlands (the area up to the top of the hill and over the brow to the junction). This 'patch' could easily be split should there be several volunteers. Please let the Editor, Liz Coleman (863197), know during October if you can help - as otherwise this is the last Newsletter which households in this area will receive. Thank you very much Liz and Lyn from all the Lyminge Association.

Letters to the Editor

Readers are asked to note that the opinions expressed in the letters to the Editor are not necessarily those held by the Editor or the Lyminge Association and that everyone has a right to reply. Letters should be on local topics only and less than 200 words. Even if the letter is to be published anonymously (which is discouraged), please let the Editor have a contact name and number in case there are any queries.

From Janet Laing, Lyminge
What a welcome addition to the village "Lindsay's Larder" is. Sitting under an umbrella on the forecourt is a very pleasant place to drink coffee and watch the world go by! Sunday lunch is an opportunity for people living on their own to have a road; I have tried it!

From "Anonymous, Lyminge"
This letter is the view of others and myself and I feel concerns our community.
Myself, neighbours and friends are becoming tired and deaf due to the out-of-rhythm and tune of the bellringing on a Monday evening. There is a law regarding noise pollution. I am quite sure they could move their so-called practice time to the afternoon, especially in the summer months, as I am sure these individuals have little or nothing to do during the day.
Although this is I understand, a traditional village pastime, we do however also believe it to be nothing more than noise pollution in our community when you cannot open your windows or sit in the garden in the evening. However, if this is absolutely necessary, and no other alternative ways of practising can be established, then I suggest maybe the enrolment of some rather more mature bellringers is necessary.
I have lived in the area of Lyminge for 22 years and believe my opinion and the opinion of others I have spoken to, be a welcome one and would be pleased of a valid response to this argument.

From Mr. E. Want, Lyminge
As an old Lymingite, might I reply to the article in last month's Newsletter regarding the so-called bus shelter? Please do not blame the bus drivers. Who put the shelter the wrong way round is more to the point. Why, oh why did they not go to Mayfield to see how a bus shelter faces the road? Who wants to sit and look at toilets and a car park while waiting for the bus? I have named it "Lyminge Folly" as I think a good more do. I think a J.C.B. to lift it and turn it round may do the trick.

From Anna, Etchinghill
Re. Messing Dogs' Owners
People spitting on pavements, urinating or vomiting in corners would cause an outcry to make the sky fall down. Dogs messing where people have a right and a need to walk, on the contrary, is quite acceptable and normal as has always been, despite being an offence punishable by a £1,000 fine. What a laugh that is when I see the dog "doing" it just in front of the notice either fondly watched by the owner or totally ignored by him walking carelessly away.
Never mind, the cars come along and their wheels make the mess disappear in minutes, spreading it all along the road, invisible and even, so much so that not a single shoe sole will miss its share for yards and yards of the road. Removing the stuff (like I have to frequently) does not eliminate the problems it causes. Would you sit your baby in that same spot or retrieve your accidentally dropped hanky? I always douse the area with bleach; that will be the day when dog owners will do the same!
Cats are even worse; can you ever catch them at it? No way! So it goes on; dogs in the lane, cats in the garden. There I hover between the two, eyes down, look in, 'till Bingo! And rubber gloves and polythene bag and bleach and here we go again!
In spite of all that, I know there are good and caring dog owners in this neighbourhood and we are grateful for their civilised behaviour.

From S.C. and R.W. Cox, Skeete
Right to reply - planning application for one bungalow.
We wish to correct statements made in last month's newsletter from 'concerned locals' purportedly quoting details of our planning application. The shower block currently under construction has had the benefit of planning permission since last September. The caravan site has been in existence for some seven years without reported incident, albeit poorly attended. The shower block should rectify this. Any household can start a Bed and Breakfast concern without the need for planning permission.
The 'two residences' are a figment of someone's imagination. Gaining planning permission for new residences in an AONB is not without precedent, as any member of our Parish Council can confirm. Two are within our own hamlet.
Should anyone feel they can still accuse us of using half truths and errors in our submission to the council we suggest that they look to page 31 of the 17.09.99. edition of the "Herald".

WARNING

Listeners to BBC Kent Radio may have heard this warning: If someone telephones you and says that they are testing the system and ask you to dial 90, DON'T. This will allow the perpetrators of this con to "capture" your telephone number and to use it to make all sorts of telephone calls and run up huge bills - for you to pay! If you are dubious as to whether they are bone fide, ask them to give their number; put down your 'phone and then ring 151 (BT) and ask the operator if checks are legitimate.

Developments in the Churchyard

Every resident of Lyminge parish has an interest in the churchyard if only because all of us, churchgoers or not, have the right to be buried there. For many the churchyard also contains the graves of family or friends; our war dead are commemorated there, and even the most casual passer-by can hardly fail to be struck by the spectacle of the ancient church in its traditional setting.

Recently the Parochial Church Council (P.C.C.), the local voluntary group which is responsible for the churchyard, has prepared a draft plan for the future management of the churchyard.

The plan involves some change in the appearance of the churchyard over the next few years, particularly to the presently unmanaged area to the north of the churchyard adjacent to the footpath (which will be managed as meadow). Other proposals which may be of wide interest include some tree planting at the boundary, a historical survey of the monuments and a wildlife survey.

For the information of the Parish, the draft plan can be seen at Lyminge library until the end of the year. If you should like to help with the forthcoming work, or have any enquiries or comments, please either speak to the librarian or contact:

Elham Valley Lions

For the third successive year, EVLC supported by Lombard General Insurance Co. Ltd. and with the help of Etchinghill Golf Club, hosted a Charity Golf Competition followed by a dinner and prize-giving on Friday 10 September.

Last year the Lions' Club raised nearly £1,500 for the Pilgrims' Hospice Appeal 2000, so we were delighted to present Peter Fowler, Vice Chairman and Pat White, appeal co-ordinator, this year with a cheque for £3,000.

Building work for the Hospice on the Hill was started in July by contractors R.J. Barwick and is expected to be finished by September 2000.

1.3 million pounds has been raised so far, with the final target set at 3.5 million. Dozens of small and large fund-raising events are in progress in the region and whole communities covered by the Hospice have taken this project to their hearts.

The golf competition for the Lombard Cup was generously supported by many local companies, including Barratts of Folkestone, who sponsored a hole in one with a prize of a new Rover 200. Other prizes went to the runners up, third place and best team effort.

Richard Cowling, P.R. Officer said, "We had an excellent day's golf in glorious surroundings. We would like to thank all those who participated, and their sponsors".


Thoroughly Lyminge

The pots are still available in the shops for donations to the "Thoroughly Lyminge" fund to help the workers at "Thoroughly Wood" replace their tools lost in the fire. £14.00 was raised by one lady who made cards which she sold to her friends. Thank you very much for making, selling and buying the cards.


Lyminge W.I.

The Speaker at the meeting after the summer break was Mrs. Ellis on "Antique Jewellery". Most of what she showed us were sea pearls. We all enjoyed our garden party held in Mrs. Bain's garden.


Lyminge Senior Citizen's Club

Since many were on holiday during August, our numbers were down and we had no speakers. The members who attended had enjoyable afternoon's playing cards and bingo. Early in October we are planning a fish and chip evening at Dungeness. This is always a popular evening.
D. Bain.


Sibton Park Cricket Club

The winners of the September 100 Club Draw were:
N. Guy, £25, R. Sillwood, £10.00.


STOP PRESS!!

We've just had reports from the North Pole that Father Christmas is to make his usual, annual visit to Lyminge! Put the date in your diary now - it's Thursday 23rd December. Look out for details in next month's Newsletter.

The A.G.M. will be held in the club room at the village hall on Tuesday October 26th at 7.30pm. After the formal part of the evening, refreshments will be served and, no doubt, gardens and gardening discussed. The Society has enjoyed another successful year and thank you to all those who have supported the talks and outing and the spring and summer shows.


Gardening Tips for October

Collect leaves from lawns and any borders where they are covering small plants. Compost them wither in layers on the compost heap, or in sealed black bin liners, making some holes for drainage. Bring tender pot plants into a cool, frost-free area. Dig any open ground. Scarify lawns. Grass seed can be sown and turf laid early in the month. Start to reduce watering of house plants. Light the fire, get plenty of seed catalogues and enjoy planning the perfect garden for next year.
