ROAD CLOSURE
NB Burgmans Hill will be closed on the 19th of December by DCC.
URGENT AND IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR DISTRIBUTORS
“I would be grateful if Herald distributors would find someone to deliver copies in their area when they are unable to do so. Thank You – Jill Newton”
ENTERTAINMENT
Two village Concerts, four evenings of carols (plus several club-only events like that at the Sailing Club), a touring mummers group and too many to mention parties should mean that nobody will get to sit at home all this December.
SHOPs SUPPORTERS CLUB
About 120 people enjoyed the free food and FREE drink at the annual party (see Brian Ridge’s missive on licencing elsewhere in this Herald) Just how do we do it on an annual membership fee of £1 per person? That is our Treasurers secret.
Anyone who uses businesses in the village is invited to join by leaving £1 and their name and address in an envelope at the Londis shop.
Farming Features
Anyone interested should contact me as we are being offered a (free) column on this subject. - a sort of Ambridge without the sex.
LYMPSTONE
CYCLE PATH
Breakthrough! Go down to the railway bridge at Sowden End where the cycle path is to enter Lympstone and you will see the line of the path along the track. New fencing is being erected three metres from the lines.
Lympstone Mummers
This year the Mummers will perform their play roughly at the following times on Monday 18th December:
Redwing 9 pm, Saddlers 9.30 pm, Swan 10 pm, Globe 10.30 pm
HELP WANTED
Last month Jill and John Newton had to deliver about 90 copies themselves because of the absence of their normal deliverers. Please let Jill Newton or myself know if you would be prepared to be an emergency deliverer available to deliver ANYWHERE in the village. (This would probably help someone new to the village to find their way around).
RECEIVED BY THE EDITOR
A letter congratulating those Sea Scouts, Brownies and other children who did attend the wreath laying and the two minutes silence at Lympstone War Memorial (contrary to a letter in the press).
C Carter, Parish Councillor, Secretary to the Shops Supporters Club and Editor of the Lympstone Herald
Friends of Lympstone Parish Church
