Lympstone@Play
We are grateful to Jo at the Saddlers Arms for running a quiz night for us. We raised the magnificent sum of £100. We have also been given a £5000 grant by The Local Network Fund to buy a swing to put in the youth area. This will be the same as the one in the toddler area, but will be for the teenagers to play on. We have also had confirmation that a grant from the Leonard Leity Stoate Trust can be used to fund the installation of the Youth shelter. This should all be installed in December, weather permitting.

Tsunami Folk Night
It was standing room only at a well-supported charity folk night in The Globe’s restaurant on 18th October. A varied line-up of local performers helped raise £500 for the Agape Orphanage, which is near the Sri Lankan fishing village for which Lympstone has been fund-raising since the tsunami. Lympstone Folk hope to perform again for charity in the village.
Lympstone Mummers
The traditional Lympstone Mummers’ Play, revived last year, will be performed in the village again this Christmas. Directed by Harland Walshaw, King George and his foes will clash swords from pub to pub, probably on Monday 18th December. Anyone interested in joining the Mummers, or hosting the play, should contact Tony Day on 268653.
First Great Western Customer Panel
Tony Day, who is Customer Panel Representative for the Exmouth Branch Line, would like to hear views from people who use the railway. Matters he has so far raised with First Great Western include the rolling stock on the line, arrangements for bus substitution whilst the line is closed for engineering work, and peak hour passenger congestion at Exeter Central. Tony plans to report back to interested passengers by email – anyone wanting to receive feedback or give their views should contact

THE LYMPSTONE SOCIETY
Although the Society’s local history exhibition, ‘Long-Ago Lympstone’, is over by now (and we hope you all enjoyed it), we cannot let the occasion pass without a very sincere thank-you to all who visited and especially to all those who helped in any way.
Lympstone History Exhibition (325 paying visitors ) Prize-winners were -
Children’s quiz: Tom Close, Adults’ quiz: The Hallum Family. Name the Teddy Bears - Saturday: Flora Laney-Hubbard (Foxy), Sunday: Graham Deane (Quinty). Congratulations to all.
We are hoping that our next event will prove equally enjoyable – our annual “CONCERT FOR LYMPSTONE”, on FRIDAY 8th DECEMBER in Lympstone Parish Church at 7.30pm. Along with the village’s very own Lympstone SouthWest Telecoms Band we are delighted to be presenting as guests Iscapella, the popular close harmony male singing group, and also a small group from the Okehampton Youth Choir, who will be contributing some traditional Devon folk songs. As usual there will be a very varied programme to suit all tastes, but as we have moved into December this concert will have a little more of a Christmas flavour than in recent years – not least by the addition of mince pies along with the refreshments in the interval. Tickets will be available from the Post Office from 22nd November, or at the door on the night, at £5 for adults and £1 for children, to include those mince pies! Please come along - and bring all your friends - to support not only the performers, but the charities for whom we arrange this concert each year.

Lyps has had a good month. We won the Photo and slogan competition at the Exmouth Tesco Store beating lots of other local clubs and schools. This means we have received a prize of 1000 Tesco sports vouchers to use to get sports equipment for the club. We now go through to the national final where six clubs will be visited by a national sporting hero such as Frank Lampard etc.Junior LYPS will be held on Friday 10th November 5pm - 6.45pm.
