Next PAGE 2 A WARE & SONS END OF AN ERA Saturday 1st March 2008 saw the last pint of milk delivered by A Ware & Sons Town Dairy. Sadly for the village Pam Ware has decided to take a well deserved retirement. The Dairy was started in 1925 by Pam's grandfather with twice a day deliveries from a horse and cart. The service that the Ware family has given the village for over 80 years will be greatly missed. I speak for the whole village when wishing Pam good luck for the future and Donald a speedy recovery from his ill health and thanks for the years of dedicated service to your customers. Pete Acca Lympstone Primary School PTFA: Line Dance Evening Saturday 29th March This will take place in the Village Hall and is being run by TK Line Dancing whom some of you may remember from a few years ago. The price is £7 per ticket and includes a chilli supper. There will also be a cash bar. Tickets will be on sale from The Post Office and the School Office from March 15th. We hope you can come along and have some fun whilst also supporting the school. Julia McCracken LYMPSTONE HISTORY At the Parish Council meeting, we were presented with two copies of a computerised CD-ROM version of the 1840 Tithe Map of Lympstone. This shows - in great detail - the whole parish before the coming of the railway. Individual houses show clearly. The History Society has one copy and will be showing it on a large screen at its AGM on 30th April. I can arrange for loan of further copies if you would like to use it as part of research into your house history. The CD-ROM is one product of a 3-year lottery-funded project to digitise all of the tithe maps of East Devon's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The next step (volunteers needed!) is to put the 'apportionments' or lists of land-ownership onto a database.

We now have funds to fulfill our ambition to buy our own projector, sound system and install a retractable screen in the Village Hall. In addition to these improvements to our Friday Night filmgoers’ experience we also have plans to do likewise for our matinee audience (who will see Mrs Miniver on 26th March) and to invest in film-making and editing equipment which we’ll use to encourage young Lympstonians to try their hands behind the camera. To celebrate our recent good fortune we are adding an extra film to our season: on 11th April we’ll be screening Waking Ned, a charming and appropriate tale of an Irish village one of whose residents won a big lottery prize! And next year, our season will be extended to eight Friday Film Nights, from September to April 2009. Membership information will be given in next month’s Herald John Eaton-Terry MOTHERS’ UNION Our March meeting will be during Holy Week on Tuesday 18th.
