Saturday 28th Jan – Grappenhall Cricket Club

My name is Jodie Gould and I am currently studying a Biomedical Science Degree at Chester University. I have also signed up to climb Kilimanjaro for the amazing Charity Childreach International.

On the Saturday 28th January 2012 at 8pm I will be holding a Race Night at Grappenhall Cricket Club, Broad Lane, Warrington, WA4 3ER, in order to raise money for the charity Childreach International and would love it if you could all join me.

Line em up!!

For people that have never been to a race night it is a fun, entertaining, cheap night out.

Each race consist of 8 horses identified by numbers only and is shown just like on television with professional commentary.

Members of the audience choose their horse from the amusing names on the race cards provided and then buy a corresponding ticket from the betting desk. This is usually around £1 per bet placed.

Once the betting has finished one of the 8 films are chosen at random and played.

At the end of the race the lucky winners collect their winnings from the desk and the betting re-opens for the next race. Happy Days!!

Donations

If people are unable to attend but would still like to contribute to the charity I have also set up an online donation page where people can donate straight to, which is: available to see here

I hope you can all attend as it will be a brilliant night and is all for a good cause.

Just a quick reminder of the details its taking place at 8pm at Grappenhall Cricket Club, Broad Lane, WA4 3ER

Hope to see you all there

Friday 10th February Statham Lodge

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
That’s what they say,
But it’s not really true.

Roses are red,
And apples are too,
But violets are violet,
Violets aren’t blue.

An orange is orange,
But Greenland’s not green,
A pinky’s not pink,
So what does it mean?

We call something blue,
When it’s not, we lie a bit,
But hey, what the heck,
It’s hard to rhyme with ‘Violet’!

A message of LOVE
Can be hard to understand,
Leaving you head in the clouds,
And your feet not on land.

But confusion aside,
It’s all fun and games,
Love brings its Challenges,
Goals and aims...

A Mountain climb,
For a Charity cause,
To reach a snowy peak,
The help I need is yours!

To raise the funds,
So I can tackle this beast,
We’re organising a Ball,
With live music and a feast!

The venues booked,
The date is set,
Friday 10th Feb,
Statham Lodge’s biggest LOVE event yet!

Dudes think dapper,
Girlies think glam,
Bring all you friends,
Your dad, your sis, your mam!

A Killer Kili evening,
To keep Cupid on his toes,
Where the night may take us,
Only him & his bow knows ;)

So please help to raise funds,
At my Valentines Do,
£25 a ticket,
Not much for a smooch or two ;)

The Big Lymm Bonfire is always a great success and the firework display is really spectacular

THE Lymm and District Round Table will once again be staging the popular Big Lymm Bonfire – the village’s only charity event of its kind.

A record £5,000 was raised last year with around 1500 people attending the event held at Lymm Rugby Club on Crouchley Lane. This year’s event, sponsored by Kids Planet Day Nurseries, will again be held at the Rugby Club on Saturday 5th November with doors opening at 6pm, bonfire lit at 6.30pm and firework display from 7pm.

“The Big Lymm Bonfire is always a great success and the firework display is really spectacular,” said Mike O’Crowley, organiser and Round Table member. “Lots of worthy local causes benefit from the proceeds and that’s all thanks to the people who come through the door.

“There’ll be loads going on again this year including children’s rides, plenty of food and drink on offer and many other stalls run by the community including the Ladies Circle. We’re also introducing additional disabled access with carers gaining free entry.

“We really hope the public will come out to support the event once again and ensure we raise even more money this year.”

Tickets will be on sale – complete with ‘Guy’ – by The Cross, Lymm, on the three weekends preceding bonfire night, and you can also pay on the door. Prices are £10 for family (up to two adults and two children), £5 for adults and £2 for children.

The Round Table are also seeking sponsors for the event – for more information contact Mike on 07867 531764.

The Lymm and District Round Table is one of the most buoyant in the country with a large and enthusiastic membership and regular social and charity events planned throughout the year.

Full Lymm-London works displayed at the Holy Trinity Church opposite Golden Square

Following the success earlier this year of the Lymm-London project, artist Richard Cowley has managed to get the full Lymm-London works displayed at the Holy Trinity Church opposite Golden Square in the centre of Warrington for the next 2 weeks. Using his ingenuity he's over come a time old problem, 'How do you exhibit art works in a Grade 2* Listed church?'.

Thank you to Sponsors

The answer was simple, his exhibition floats over the pews of the church, with 22 large illuminated cubes exhibiting over 50 works of art. Although organised and delivered by Richard, he could not have achieved this massive art project without the support of both Holy Trinity Church, Warrington Borough Council and our beloved Lymm traders who have chipped in to help put on the show. Thanks to TK Bikes, Puure, DB Gardening, Edgar Art, Arches, Banner & Co., Sextons Bakery, Catyas Cadeaux, Charter Design, Collect Art, The Cheshire Set Nail Studio, Hopkinson's Of Lymm, Jolly Thresher, The Venue William H Lill & Co, The Star Inn, Natural Focus Photography, The Clothes Box, McCarthy & Stone, and not forgetting Lymm.com! So if your interested in seeing something unique and different come along to Holy Trinity Church, see the flyer for full details.

Over £2000 raised at Lymm Beer Festival

300 people sampled some of the 29 beers

LYMM’S inaugural beer festival received charitable ‘cheers’ as hundreds of ale lovers attended the event, raising over £2,000 in the process.

Over 300 people sampled some of the 29 beers and ciders on sale and were treated to some hearty grub courtesy of Lymm Ladies Circle.

CAMRA member Kevin Campbell said: “There was an excellent range of drinks on offer, both from in and around Warrington and across England and Wales, including dark beers, pale ales, ciders and even different types of perry. As an inaugural event it was really well organised – hats off to them.”

Lymm and District Round Table chairman Chris Stephens added: “We’re delighted that so many people came along to sample the great selection of beers we had on offer and we’re very grateful to all the local businesses and organisations that sponsored barrels. There’s no rest for the wicked though – our attentions must now quickly turn to the Big Lymm Bonfire!”
