Every year I am made to feel verywelcome at the club's annual festiveget together by Joyce Penlington andher team (pictured right), who rely ondonations to keep this valuablecommunity service going throughoutthe year. Unfortunately the badweather before Christmas saw theevent postponed to the New Year -but the volunteers didn't let thisdampen their spirits.The luncheon club receives great

support from Lymm Lions and is alsosupported by social services andWarrington dial-a-ride. It is a vitallifeline for many of our elderly

residents - and the only trip out forsome members, who would otherwisebe isolated with little contact with theoutside world.Like many organisations the

Luncheon Club, who are based in theOughtrington Community Association,which also relies on the efforts ofvolunteers to remain open, are Tndingit more and more difTcult to Tndfunding to keep their services going.While there are very many worthy

causes in Lymm, I do hope theOughtrington Luncheon Club cancontinue its good work for many moreyears to come.

WE are blessed with many unsung heroes in our community -none more so than than the hard-working volunteers who helprun the Oughtrington Luncheon Club.

Chancellor George Osborne MPtook time out of his busy schedule toadd his weight to a campaign byLittle Bollington and High LeghPrimary Schools to retain their PartnerPrimary Status with Lymm HighSchool.Mr Osborne met with the

Headteachers and Chair ofGovernors of both High Legh andLittle Bollington C of E PrimarySchools near Lymm, to listen to theirconcerns regarding the council’sproposal to change the admissionprocedures to Lymm High School.The proposal is to remove Partner

Primary status with Lymm High School

from both schools which wouldprevent children’s automatic entry totheir closest, local secondary school.As the local MP for both primary

schools, Mr Osborone said heunderstood the strong, historical,community connection with bothLymm High School and the village ofLymm.Little Bollington head Teacher

Caroline Johnstone said:"A great dealof opposition has already beenvoiced by parents, staff, children andlocal residents and Mr Osborne hashelped launch the oppositioncampaign by being the Trst signatoryon the petition.

Both schools are urging parentsand local residents to register theiropposition to Warrington BoroughCouncil’s proposal and help bothschools remain part of theircommunity.They are also urging them to

contact David Mowatt MP forWarrington South.The review affects primary partner

schools with Lymm High School andBridgewater High School, which areboth over subscribed with pupilnumbers.

ReviewingAnn McCormack from Warrington

Borough Council said: “We arecurrently reviewing the partneringstatus of four primary schools inconjunction with Halton andCheshire East councils.“Both Lymm and Bridgewater High

Schools regularly oversubscribe fromwithin their partner primary criterion,meaning that some pupils living closeto these high schools, but notattending partner schools, are unableto access places at their localsecondary school. This factor led usto undertake this review.“If the proposals are approved then

this would mean future applicationsfrom the primary schools in questionwould simply be considered under theproximity criterion.”

neighbours dispute that conditionshave been constantly breached for10 years - especially between 1992-2002 when there were fewcomplaints about the company.Residents say complaints re

FOUR Lymm mums are to run in this year's London Marathon toraise money for their chosen charities.The four - who all have children at Ravenbank Primary School - say they must

have hit a "mid-life crisis" as they had never done anything like it before.But in preparation for the event they have all been training together for the last

12 months, have all completed a couple of half-marathons and recentlycompleted a 14-mile training sessionThey are Claire Wormald,36, with three children, Emily, Olivia and Edward,

Joy Parkinson, 40 with three children, Emma, Sam and Beth, Becky Rhind, 39,with three children, Abby, Poppy and Ben and Claire Steed, 37, with twochildren, Harvey and Archie. The children all attend Ravenbank or local pre-schools or nurseries.Charities to beneTt will be the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF),

Asthma UK and Parkinsons UK.They have set themselves a target of raising £8,000 and have already raised

£4,500 through a quiz night, a stall on Dickensian Day, a car boot sale andcollecting with Santa and the Rotary Club before Christmas. They are holding acocktail party and disco at the Village Hall on February 4.The four mums felt with 11 children between them, Juvenile Diabetes was a

good cause to support while Claire's father has Parkinson's and Becki's son Ben,aged Tve, suffers from Asthma.Claire said: "I went to watch the London Marathon in 2000 and got caught

up in the sense of achievement and emotion of the day. Have been saying 'oneday I'll do it' ever since.Joy gave up work to spend some time with her children - at that time two,

three and Tve - and took up running "to keep sane amidst the childcare chaos."

Becky said: "To help me get through the training I decided to raise money forAsthma UK to make it all seem worthwhile."Claire said: "I enjoy a sporting challenge and the London Marathon will

deTnitely be one!"Anyone wants to help can call Claire on 07590 838030 or visit

Lymm resident Christine Mellor metUrsula Kennedy, discovered they bothhad Lymm connections and startedchatting about times past.Ursula, nee Frankenburg, was a

member of the family which ownedand lived at Oughtrington Hall - nowLymm High School - during the period1938-46.She was one of the four children of

Sydney and Charis Frankenburg.Her father was a director of a

major manufacturing company inSalford, and her mother wrote anumber of books on childcare andhad a lifelong interest in improving thelives of women and children in inner-city areas.The couple were closely involved

A CHANCE meeting at a dog show has brought to light afascinating history of Lymm's Oughtrington Hall during the waryears.

in the Greengate Hospital and OpenAir School at Salford - a specialhospital for undernourished children.At the outbreak of World War 2,

Charis, by then a widow, decided tomove the hospital to OughtringtonHall and for the whole of the warshared her home with more than 40youngsters, aged under Tve, amatron, nurses and other staff.As a trained midwife, she was

able to take over if the matron was ill.Ursula was away at boarding schoolmost of the time, but during holidaysalso helped out.Now living in North Hampshire,

she has many memories ofOughtrington."We had wonderful cellars which

were converted into bedrooms, toiletsand bathrooms for the children sothey would be safe in the event of anair raid."The children were able to play in

the grounds and their parents used tocome by bus to visit them atweekends."It must have been a very different

life for them, after living in Salford."We also had a pig farm at the hall

for a while. One of my brothers wona pig, bowling at a church fete, andthought it would be an idea if it hada mate. Next thing we knew, we hada pig farm!"It is more than 10 years since

Ursula visited Lymm, but she has fondmemories of the village.

"I went and looked around theschool and was pleased to see a lotof the old buildings are pretty muchthe same as they were."We were pleased to let the hall be

used as a hospital as it helped thewar effort. My three brothers allserved in the Army but by the time Iwas old enough to join up it was allover - which at the time quitedisappointed me!"

When the high school was a hospital!More yellowlines!

MORE yellow lines could beintroduced in the village in a bidto combat parking problems.PCSO Luckett told members of

the Parish Council that enquirieshad been made about what thePolice can do in relation to theparking on BrookTeld Road andEagle Brow following complaintsabout vehicles parking onpavements and causingobstructions. As there are currently no

parking restrictions at these twolocations the Police are unable totake any enforcement action. It has been suggested that

either double or single yellowlines be put at these twolocations and the parking couldthen be policed by WarringtonBorough Council trafTcwardens. Meanwhile the introduction of

waiting restrictions on EagleBrow was advertised November26, 2010. The statutoryadvertisement period ended onDecember 16. When the parking restrictions

have been introduced on EagleBrow an assessment will betaken of the parking on adjacentroads such as BrookTeld Roadand Whitbarrow Road.

For their beneTt wereveal that Elmas isTurkish for diamond –and note, in passing,the aptness of thename, for this eatery atthe corner of PepperStreet and The Crossis, indeed, a gem.Since it opened,

Elmas has expandedand is now more thantwice its original size -proof, if it wereneeded, of itspopularity. But theexpansion has beenhandled tastefully sothat none of the warmatmosphere of theoriginal has been lost.Indeed, on a cold winter's night, thereis no more inviting place to dine.Elmas offers a wide choice of hot

and cold starters, meat and Tsh maincourses, salads, pizza and pastaspecials.

Delicious

On our most recent visit we startedwith a delicious lentil soup, servedwith crisp, warm bread, and mouth-watering pan-fried mushrooms in acreamy wine sauce.For our main course we chose

medallions of lamb in a burgundy

and mint sauce, served with mashedpotatoes and vegetables and char-grilled seabass in a white wine, garlicand lemon sauce.These were cooked to perfection

and imaginatively displayed.For our desserts we chose ice

cream and a delicious sticky toffeepudding.Elmas has a good wine list and we

complemented the meal with a Tnebottle of Chilean sauvignon blanc.Service was friendly, helpful and

extremely efTcient and helped makethe evening extremely enjoyable.

THERE are probably people who still haven't asked the friendlystaff at Elmas Mediterranean Cuisine about the origin of therestaurant's name.

REGULARS at Lymm's Spread Eagle pub are enjoying a traditional board gamewith a difference – Lymmopoly.Based on the famous Monopoly game, the idea came to mine host Nick

Harris while he was having a bath one night!The game – which is very pub orientated – features local features,

businesses, and characters instead of the London properties which are normallyassociated with the game.For instance,

instead of a "Go toJail" space on theboard, there is a "Goto the stocks" space! There are also

special tokens, Lymmmoney and other funfeatures whichprovide for hours offun.Twenty "lymmited"

strong objection and referred to the"chequered history" of the application.She told the committee planning

consent for the building - described asancillary residential accommodation -had been subject to no windowsoverlooking the rear gardens of

adjacent properties.Cllr Woodyatt said: "This was

totally disregarded by the applicantwho inserted windows anyway.When asked to remove them heignored the request and has nowsubmitted a retrospective application."I am aware that deliberate Uouting

of planning guidance is not a materialconsideration, but the building inquestion, allegedly a garage thoughit is the size of a warehouse, does notneed roof lights."I believe these windows will be

intrusive and detrimental to theresidential amenity of the neighbours.I urge you to refuse this application."But the committee approved the

application after ofTcers argued thatwhile part of an adjacent gardenwould be overlooked, this would notbe unacceptable and indeed was the"norm" for most semi-detachedproperties' rear gardens.The committee was told that

despite this, the applicant had agreedto Tt the roof lights with obscureglazing.

THE Of!ce of Fair Trading is takingaction against websites that chargeadministration fees to learnerdrivers to book their driving theoryor practical tests without clearlyexplaining the additional fees.Action was started after the AA

highlighted cases where learnersunwittingly paid surcharges of up to65 per cent by booking their testthrough third-party websites ratherthan directly through the DrivingStandards Agency (DSA).The complaints related to

commercial websites that invitelearners to enter their details andpreferred dates for a DSA test. Thedetails are the same as the learnerwould enter if booking directly withthe DSA - which charges no bookingfee. Some sites include 'DSA' in theirGoogle search listings or web pageheadings, which can make itconfusing as to whose site a learner ison. Learners were then charged more

than £50 for a theory test for whichthe DSA charges £31, with thedifference being described as an"administration fee". Others were hit with fees of up to

£30 to book a practical test - on topof the standard DSA fees of £62 for aweekday test or £75 for a weekendor weekday evening - while bookingsfor extended tests attracted bookingfees of up to £40. The AA's Simon Douglas said:

"There is no place for websites thatcharge learners huge fees to book

their test without clearly explainingthose fees. Learners can easily bookdirectly with the DSA for no extracharge. 'Lookalike' sites that rip offlearners must be shut down. "Learning to drive is an investment

in a valuable skill for life. But forkingout big admin fees for do-little test

'booking services' is a waste ofmoney few families can afford." To avoid extra charges learners

should book directly with the DSA, forthe standard fee of £31 (theory test);£62 (practical test, weekday) or £75(practical test, weekend or weekdayevening).

VOLVO has announced that global sales were up by 11.2 per cent last year -a total of 373,525 cars.Top selling model was the XC60, with sales of 80,723, with the V50 second

with sales of 56,098.The UK was the Swedish company's third biggest market, with 37,940 cars

sold compared with 34,371 in 2009.Increased production led to Volvo recruiting about 500 additional people at

plants in Torslanda, Sweden and Ghent, Belgium.

A satnav thatsays sorry?

HELP could one day be at hand fordrivers who feel the urge to destroytheir satnav after it has led them upthe garden path.In the future, satnavs will be able

to tell when they have upset theirdriver and respond accordingly,possibly by saying sorry, accordingto Prof Peter Robinson, of CambridgeUniversity's emotional roboticsdepartment.He said: 'I love gadgets like GPS

satellite navigation systems but I hatethe fact they are so difCcult to use. Ithink they were designed by sadists.The problem is computers don't reactto how I feel - if I'm pleased orannoyed they just ignore me. We'rebuilding emotionally intelligentcomputers that can read my mindand know how I feel."Computers are really good at

understanding what someone istyping or saying. But they need tounderstand not just what I'm saying,but how I'm saying it."The technology being developed

utilises a number of sensors, capableof tracking things such as facialexpressions, hand gestures andvoice. So the driver who shouts,waves his arms about and scowls atthe satnav might one day get asympathetic response rather than themore usual, bland suggestion that heshould do a U-turn on a dual-carriageway!

Rotary ‘Santa’ collected £5,000MORE than £5,000 was collected by the Rotary Club of Lymm during theChristmas period.A Santa Uoat toured Lymm and Thelwall collecting funds to beneTt

from Santa and would like to thank all those residents who contributed sogenerously."
