Happy New Yearfrom Grange Now

Sharon, Glenn, Kerstin & Paul

2 Grange now | JANUARY 2015

Letter from the Editor

Happy new year to all our readers, advertisers and everyone who contributes to Grange Now - now in its 24th year. As a busy year ends, it looks like an even busier one ahead as we go monthly with our new sister title ‘Windermere Now.’ With this in mind we are looking for someone to help on the administration and accounts side of the business on a part time basis. Please get in touch for more details if that’s of interest.Looking ahead to 2015, we are planning to run a survey to all our readers (with a great prize on offer). We really want your feedback on the paper……. Would you like to see any changes? Do you think we should extend the delivery area of Grange Now to include Arnside? What would you like to see more or less of? The survey will appear in the next editionThroughout 2014 we have run features about health, sports and we turned the spotlight on Backbarrow, Cartmel and Flookburgh. So in 2015 we plan to run features on Lindale, Witherslack and Allithwaite. In March we’ll be running a feature on ‘Your home and garden’ while in April we take a look at the work of local artists. First off in February we are running a feature called ‘New Start!’ It’s about trying something new in 2015 - maybe a new exercise class or even a new home. What will you start in 2015?Finally, a great offer to any young people thinking of starting a business. There is a free single box advert available in each edition in 2015 for young entrepreneurs (under 30). This includes a free advert design and is awarded at our discretion to anyone under 30 who is setting up their own new business. The aim is to encourage any young entrepreneurs to go for it. Why not email us before the deadline and see if you can claim our free advert.Deadlines for the year ahead are below, the next one being 16th January. Our advert prices remain unchanged and have been held now at the same rate since 2012.My huge thanks go to the team of Kerstin, Sharon and Glenn for doing a fabulous job in producing Grange Now.Chris and the team

Independent Chartered Financial Planners

Directors:Leigh S. Hornby BA (Hons), IMC, CFP

Gary Richardson FCIB, CFPJason Crane APFS CFP

December and January is a time when we focus on planning and implementing New Year’s Resolutions; February through to November can see those well thought out plans delayed until the next year.Whether it’s a promise you make to yourself at the start of the year or perhaps during a mid-year break, one crucial element of anyone’s life is to make sure their finances are in order.Many people feel they are happy to take care of their own financial situation, and are indeed more than capable of doing so. Equally, there are those that feel they now require help and guidance, or perhaps the person that used to provide such guidance is no longer able to do so.Financial Planners provide varying degrees of support, at a level to suit you. Financial Advice can come at key stages in life; perhaps you are comfortable to make your own decisions most of the time but at specific times, such as retirement, you need that extra level of specialist advice.Portfolio Management, on the other hand, is the ‘complete package’. A portfolio could be made up of

one or a number of different types of investments; ISAs, Pensions, Investment Bonds, single Company Shares etc. If you no longer feel comfortable looking after your portfolio, or you have simply never given it the focus it needs it could be time to delegate the responsibility to a Financial Planner.Other benefits come from establishing a relationship with a Financial Planner; you get one central point of contact for all your investments, meaning you only need one address and one phone number, additionally you would significantly reduce the administration that goes hand in hand with modern day investments. Change in legislation can be confusing and complex, a Financial Planner would work with you to ensure that you understand how you would be affected and ensure that your portfolio is positioned accordingly.The comments in this Editorial are only general and should not be taken as specific advice. It is important that you seek independent advice before taking any action on the above, or any other, subjects. It should be noted that the value of some investments can fall as well as rise therefore you may get back less than originally invested. Past performance is not necessarily a guide to the future.

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you had a relaxing and fun filled time over the festive period.

Catering Manager, Diane Turner receiving her award picture by: Steve Barber

School gets top marks for their healthy menu

Cartmel Priory School is delighted to be the first school to achieve the Healthier Menu Award from South Lakeland District Council. The award was presented to the school’s Catering Manager, Diane Turner, Headteacher, Dr Paul Williams, and Head Boy and Head Girl by SLDC portfolio holder for Health and Wellbeing, Councillor Graham Vincent and Hardeep Burnley, Principal Food, Licensing and Safety Officer at SLDC. By providing healthier choices on menus, we can help our students achieve good health whilst providing tasty, enjoyable food. We understand that schools play an important role in influencing students eating habits and the Healthier Menu Award builds on our previous status as a ‘Healthy School’ by promoting healthy eating throughout the school.Healthy eating is taught within the school curriculum and through this approach, all students have the

opportunity to discuss the catering provision within school with our Catering Manager each year. The school has also been working closely with the British Heart Foundation and for the past few years has been fortunate to acquire two vending machines located within school. This ensures healthier options are available for students partaking in lunchtime activities and after school clubs.The school recently made the decision to bring the catering provision in house from an external contractor. One of the main reasons for this decision was to ensure the best possible value for whole school community whilst maintaining a healthy menu. Managing the service in-house means we can minimise management costs, thereby allowing us to keep our prices as low as possible whilst investing in the meals provided. The catering team remains the same and we continue to provide nutritious and healthy meals for students, staff and visitors on a daily basis.

Thank you once again to all our readers who generously supported this amazing campaign. It is hard to read about children living on rubbish dumps, but far harder for the children who do it. If we shut our eyes to it nothing will ever change.On 8th December the Chairman of the Boxes of Hope Appeal for Cumbria, Rosemary Webster, sent us this update from Romania where she was delivering the shoeboxes. This is her first hand account: Here we are in Romania. We have started to give out our 10,140 shoeboxes to some of the forgotten children of Europe, living in the poorest conditions imaginable. The children are so pleased to see us, and very excited to see what is in their shoeboxes. Today we are going to give out 1,000 boxes to children living on the rubbish dump at Cluj.We were just about to drive away from one distribution centre when we noticed this little girl crying because she hadn’t had a shoebox. So we dashed out of the van, opened up the trailer and found her one, and a little bag hand knitted by one of our volunteers. Her face

gradually lit up and she ran off home, one very happy little girl.It has been an amazing week giving out your shoeboxes to children living in really desperate conditions in rural Romania. This year we visited 3 communities living by the garbage dump outside Cluj. Whole families sift through the rubbish every day, earning a pittance from the plastic and glass they collect. We walked up the hill following the horse and cart carrying the shoebox cartons, and we were shocked by the sight and smell of rubbish,

way into the distance, and little makeshift shelters in the foreground. Just as we thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did. We went down to another group living in a shanty village inches away from the railway sidings, and this time it was raining, and we were slipping and sliding in thick mud. This is where these communities spend their lives. Their lives are hard, and they have absolutely none of the basic facilities which we take for granted, but their smiles and their close family groups tell us a lot about the true values

in life. They were so excited to receive their shoeboxes. The joy on their faces when they opened their gifts, filled with love and hope, gave them a little bit of the magic of Christmas. On behalf of Boxes of Hope, Cumbria, a huge thank you to EVERYONE who has helped in any way. And to finish on a very “hopeful” note, we saw for ourselves that lots more of the children are going to school, thanks mainly to the efforts of some wonderful charity workers who have dedicated their lives to helping these communities.

Children take delivery of their shoeboxes

MAKING THE DIFFERENCE: Adds new meaning to ‘all I want for Christmas’

Foodbank volunteers are now collecting for Ebola victimsThe group of volunteers who collect for Foodbank, the local Co-workers of Mother Teresa, are organising a special appeal for the people of Sierra Leone, through the International Aid Trust. Sierra Leone is already one of the poorest nations on earth, and now with the spread of Ebola, the struggle for survival is even greater. At the time of going to press, the latest report from the World Health Organization (15th December) said 6,856 people were now known to have died from Ebola. More than 18,000 have been infected. Between 200 and 300 people are dying every week with Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, by the far the worst hit countries.

The volunteers are appealing for dried foods – pasta, rice, pulses and flour. They are also desperate for bedding, towels, disinfectants, soap, toiletries and detergents.

The collection will take place at the Parish Hall, on Kents Bank Road, on Saturday 17th January 2015. Volunteers will be on hand to take your donations between 10am - 2pm. Your help is very much needed and appreciated.

Learn yoga with Cumbria’s only KPJAYI authorised Level 2 teacherIf you have ever thought about taking up yoga, now is the time to do so. We are very fortunate to have the only KPJAYI Authorised level 2 teacher (the only one in Cumbria authorised to teach this yoga method) living and working in Lindale. Shelley Osman has recently returned to the area, and is now running regular classes, including relaxation classes and a sitting (meditation) group too at Lindale Village Hall.Shelley told Grange Now: “Don’t worry about how flexible you think you are …

anyone can learn and practice yoga if they really want to.”Shelley runs classes to suit every level, not just beginners, and as a testament to her teaching she has people travelling from as far as Appleby to attend her classes. Shelley is keen to point out that, when you attend her yoga classes not only will you will become fitter, stronger and more flexible but it is much more than that. She explained: “ yoga is a sacred practice to help one in life, the benefits that the body gain are only one aspect but the true discovery that yoga gives is far beyond the body.”

If you want to feel calmer, more peaceful and less reactive this year then contact Shelley on 07919 371 852 or email:[email protected] or please see websites for more info: www.ashtangayogacumbria.com and www.sittingwithsilence.com. Get your year off to a really good start!

Cliff and Bob - 190 years youngNot Richard and Hope, but they’re legends all the same.

Cliff Dadson and Bob Copeland have 190 years between them! They were born one day apart on December 3rd and 4th, 1919, and have just celebrated their 95th birthdays together with dinner at Aynsome Manor Hotel.Both war veterans, they have lived through many significant periods in history and have seen a great many changes to everyday life.

Cliff served in the RAF, working with radar, whilst Bob, an army man, was posted to the desert.Cliff is a regular in Grange Now, following his recent tandem parachute jump and completing two Open University degrees since turning 90.Bob is a real local Cartmel lad, who attended Cartmel Primary school. He was also a well known postman, with an immense amount of local knowledge which is, at present, being recorded for posterity by historical experts.They both live independently, living life to the full, and both are members of Grange Methodist Church. Friends, Jean and Mick Malkin told Grange Now: “On Sunday (14th December) the congregation sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to them as they blew out the candles on their cake. They are much loved and admired by their friends and family and we wish them many more happy, healthy years to enjoy living in our wonderful town.”

As part of the parish neighbourhood plan residents were keen on better use of green areas within the parish. Much work in design, research and preparation has been undertaken in the last 12 months by councillors and residents to prepare parts of the parish field for the planting of various apple trees and local damsons.A number of visits to various orchards in and outside of the area have been undertaken and advice sort from various individuals and organisations including South Lakes Orchard Group and the National Trust.The area in the field has now been prepared with soil tests undertaken and soil nourished, the ground has been dug over and protection cages made all the fruit trees have been purchased with completion of the delivery of the trees in January. It is hoped that planting will start soon and the first stage of the orchard completed by the

end of January. Two new gates enter the field are to be added to the entrance on Vicarage Lane, one from King George V play ground and another close to the parish cottage on Vicarage Lane. The design of the orchard will allow a number of small bench/tables to be added when public access is allowed later in 2015 after a settling down period, it also hoped that a hard foot path will be installed in the

field from the parish cottage entrance to the main gate close to the Old Vicarage to allow the public to keep off that short distance of the lane where no foot way exists. The PC has just been informed that it has been awarded a small grant toward the project from Nurture Lakeland, this will help with the purchase of the trees and ground preparation.

New and used stamps neededSince the death of his wife twenty years ago, Clive Flindall has been collecting new and used stamps, albums, postcards and cigarette cards to raise money for St Mary’s Hospice. Clive told Grange Now: “the hospice took very good care of my wife before she died and I wanted to do something for them. I’ve been collecting stamps for them ever since, and last year managed to raise £850.”

Donations of any of the above are gratefully received, and Clive said, “they can be left at the hospice shops, the library in either Grange or Ulverston or Booths.” You can also contact Clive on 015395 33920, or you can email him at: [email protected].

Decision to be made on controversial planning applicationsUnfortunately, we went to press on the day the planning department were due to meet to discuss two controversial planning applications: Jack Hill and Tricketts Field. Grange Now covered the Tricketts Field application in the December issue and the issues on that site remain the same. The Jack Hill site, (planning application num:SL/2014/0800) which Applethwaite Homes (part of the Eric Wright Group) hope to develop is causing concern due, in part, to the split of executive and affordable housing. The affordable homes will be kept together on one part of the site and will be separated, by a wall, from the 3 and 4 bedroom houses. The architect, Coates Associates, in response to objections made by planners and the local council claimed; ‘The Planning Officers wanted a strong

frontage to Holme Lane and a decision was made to mass the affordable homes together to create this strong frontage to Holme Lane. The proposed layout and design has been discussed with the Planning Officer and The Housing Association at length. They are supportive of the layout, house design and specification of the Affordable Units, including the wall.’The size of the executive homes is also causing anger as councillors and residents argue that it is one and two bedroom houses which are sorely needed by locals wishing to stay in the area.The Strategic Housing Market Assessment of 2014 shows evidence of a

housing need of 71 properties per annum to 2018/19 in the Cartmel peninsula over and above the current supply.Of these 71, the need is for 51 x smaller 1-2 bedroomed properties, 16 x larger 3+ bedroomed properties and 5 x 1-2 older person properties. On the 9th December Grange Town Council objected to the application on the grounds that the houses being built do not reflect what is needed as they are entirely 3 and

4 bedroomed detached properties, which is skewed to affluent buyers. They also have concerns about the potential ‘ghetto like and socially divisive situation’ of segregating the affordable homes behind a wall. The access issue is also unresolved which is causing confusion and concern.

Vegetation to be removed between Grange and Kents Bank stationOn 15th December, Network Rail sent a letter to those residents who will be affected by work they plan to undertake between 5th and 9th January 2015.

The work, which will be carried out overnight, will involve the removal of vegetation which affects railway operations. The letter states: ‘The works involve maintenance of the 5m flail strip and the removal of trees which are problematic for railway operations.’Grange Now asked Network Rail if this meant that they would be removing all the trees between

Grange station and Kents Bank station and this is their response: A spokesman for Network Rail said: “This work will remove vegetation within a five metre section alongside the track as part of our commitment to operate a safe and reliable railway. Trees and vegetation can block signals, fall onto the tracks during bad weather and

deposit leaves on the line, all of which can cause delays and disruption to passengers. The work has to take place overnight when trains are not running but everything will be done to keep disruption to a minimum. The nature of the work means some noise will be unavoidable and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

STRONG FRONTAGE: The Planning Officer is supportive of the layout, house design and specification of the Affordable Units, including the wall.

Your feet and winter sportsWinter sports can be very hard on the feet and ankles. In the cold, muscles take longer to warm up and so you may be more prone to injury when practising winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding.Your feet and ankles are particularly important in skiing, as they act as shock absorbers and brakes, as well as helping you to steer and accelerate when whizzing down the slopes, and so must be as protected as much as possible.Common foot problems include:Blisters. Badly fitting shoes can cause blisters on the toes, feet and heels.Sprains and strains. Winter sports place demands on the knees, ankles and feet.Diabetes, which affects circulation and is made worse by cold and tight-fitting footwear. You should consult your podiatrist before you hit the slopes.

Chilblains are itchy blisters that can pop up in cold conditions, usually on the toes but also on fingers and even on the face. Keeping the areas warm and dry is the best way to prevent chillblains.Frostbite. In sub-freezing temperatures, wet feet are in danger of frostbite, a serious, painful condition that can result in loss of toes therefore protection is very important.Judith Anders Healthy Steps

Fabulous Weight LossesSince opening her first evening Slimming World group in Allithwaite October 2013, Consultant Veronica Jones has gone on to open a further morning group in Grange in April 2014. This has proved to be so successful that Veronica will be running a second morning session each Wednesday from 7th January 2015.The groups have gone from strength to strength and now have over 150 members who have lost an amazing 350 stones between them in just over a year. Veronica says “I am so proud of my members and the support

they show to each other every week in group. My aim is to get them all to target and to help them maintain their healthy weight. I got to target last April and have lost over 5 stones by following the fantastic Slimming World Food Optimising plan. People are always amazed at how much food you can actually each and it honestly doesn’t feel like a diet!”At group, you receive everything you need to get started, plus free access to the Slimming World website for that extra mid-week support. If you want to lose weight in a warm, supportive and friendly environment, come along and join Veronica’s group each Wednesday morning at 9.00 am or 11.00 am, United Reformed Church Hall, Kents Bank Road, Grange or Wednesday evening 7.00 pm, Allithwaite Community Centre, Quarry Lane.

Smiles DentalMany people don’t like the idea of wearing dentures; however nowadays dentures are comfortable, discreet and designed to appear as natural as possible. Whether you have lost some or all of your teeth, you can immediately improve the appearance of your smile, as well as regain the ability to chew properly, by getting fitted for dentures.Firstly an examination of your gums and bone structure is needed, this allows your dentist to plan the best course of treatment designed just for you. Here at Smiles Dental in Grange, we offer new patients a consultation free of charge, to discuss the options available.The first step to making a denture is to take an impression of your gums and any remaining teeth so that your dentures match the shape and structure of your mouth to maximise your comfort. If you require partial dentures, an assessment of the shape and colour of existing teeth will ensure a perfect match. If you have had teeth removed you will need to allow time for your gums to heal and shrink back to normal so you may end up having more than one set of dentures in your lifetime.If you are interested in dentures please feel free to call us on 015395 34554 to make your appointment.

Grange Lions raise thousands for charityAt a presentation evening on Wednesday 3rd December, the incredibly hardworking Grange Lions handed over very generous cheques to worthwhile causes. Reg and Barbara Brown, attended the event on behalf of Jigsaw, Cumbria’s only children’s hospice, to receive a cheque for £1,000. Barbara told Grange Now: “We are so very grateful for the generous gift and thoughtful kindness that Grange and District Lions provide for so many. Thank you for all your hard work and caring generosity.”Also attending the presentation evening were Julie Brown, Chairman of Flooks4Youth. The junior section of the Flookburgh youth club have

also benefitted from the generosity of the Lions. Peter Clough, President of Grange Lions Club, was on hand to present cheques to Norman Broadhurst, Chairman of St Mary’s Hospice and Eilleen Patefield from Marie Curie Cancer Care.

Extravaganza is a big successAfter months in the planning this year’s Grange Extravaganza took place on 6th December and, thankfully, the weather was cold but certainly much friendlier than last year’s event.Families turned out in force, and such was the popularity of the event that Santa ran out of presents at around 1pm and the hog roast ran out at half past. There were husky rides, craft stalls, raffles, roasted chestnuts and, of course, Santa. Cartoonist, Evsie, was kept busy with high demand for his amazing caricatures and renowned Lakes storyteller, MBE was on hand to delight the crowds with his tall tales. A competition run through

the local primary schools saw 7 children reading out their stories to Taffy. The standard was very high but the winner on the day was Idris Illingworth with Elise Towler in second and Lucie Berresford taking third. Mayor, Tricia Thomas, was

on hand to award the prizes.Peter Endsor, President of Grange Chamber of Trade, told Grange Now: “I’m delighted with how it went and I would like to thank all who contributed to the success of this year’s event,

especially the committee members who worked tirelessly, not only on the day, but throughout the year to ensure the event’s success”. Peter added: “Next year’s extravaganza will take place on the first Saturday in December”.

Christmas lights at TrevennaWe all have our Christmas traditions and going to see Jeremy Voakes lights at Trevenna must surely be on everyone’s list.Every year they get bigger and better, but this year Jeremy has certainly excelled himself. The lights not only look fantastic but they raise money for the NSPCC. Jeremy told Grange Now that they have managed to raise £1,800 for this worthwhile charity. The lights will be on until 5th January 2015.

Christmas Tree Festival ReceptionThe month-long Christmas Tree Festival at St Paul’s Parish Church got off to a cracking start. Christine Harrison, Churchwarden, welcomed over 240 folk to the evening reception and introduced Tim Farron, our local MP, who asked how Christmas makes us feel. Compere, Robin Webster, the event in his unmistakable style introducing the Community Bay Singers, Grange C.of E. Primary School choir singing numbers from the hit musical ‘Frozen’, and talented musicians under the direction of Judith Pool. We sang traditional carols and learned the importance of communicating through means other than sound as Robin taught us to ‘sign’ We wish you a merry Christmas for those with hearing impairment.

Community shop links with school to create a thriving business.Witherslack Community Shop has, during the past twelve months, forged very successful links with pupils at Witherslack Hall School.A group of Food Technology students at the school have set up a business enterprise that has involved supplying the community shop with incredibly good cakes that fly off the shelves as soon as they are delivered, every Thursday. In an effort to build on this success they have also recently added ready meals to their range. Their range includes: lasagne, curry, cottage pie and soup, and they have all proved to be a big hit with the shop’s customers.Rachel Stokes, Joint Manager of the

Community Shop, praised the pupils’ efforts, saying “It’s been brilliant. All the local people are so impressed by the pupils and the quality of their baking and delicious ready meals. The minute we receive new items from them they are flying off the shelves, they are so popular. The best thing

though is that they are providing such a great service to our customers and the young people are now an important part of our close-knit community”.The school added, “The pupils have really benefitted from this initiative by learning about the principles

of retail, budgeting and profit margins. All the profits have been reinvested by the young people into new kitchen equipment, so who knows where this will take them. The school has been inundated with telephone calls and letters of thanks commenting on the quality and variety of the produce”.One of the pupils added, “It’s really nice to get the letters of thanks from customers, and to know that our cooking is proving so popular. We are always thinking up new recipes or new items we would like to try”.The shop managers and volunteers are delighted that this venture has proved to be so successful and look forward to it continuing.

Savings accounts save wildlifeSavers from Furness and across Cumbria have raised an amazing £1,405.60 this year to help rare and endangered wildlife and habitats in the county. Furness Building Society makes a cash payment each year, equal to 1% of the average total balance held in all the Cumbria Wildlife Trust Charity savings

accounts to the local charity – from its own funds, not the savers’ money which remains safe in their account earning a good rate of interest. Since the accounts were launched in 2012, £2,119.42 has been raised in total.Cumbria Wildlife Trust cares for 43 nature reserves around Cumbria and also works with landowners to improve other areas, such as farmland and the uplands, for wildlife. This year Cumbria Wildlife Trust has restored hay meadows and peatlands and also

completed the 15-year restoration of Foulshaw Moss Nature Reserve, near Witherslack.Senior Development Officer Michelle Waller says, “For our supporters it is another brilliant way to help our work to save threatened species and secure wildlife habitats across Cumbria without it costing them a penny.” To learn more about how to support Cumbria Wildlife Trust visit: www.furnessbs.co.uk/cumbriawildlifetrust or call 0800 834312.

Highly trained staffBuilders Supply Company (BSK) is celebrating after its Grange branch received an award at the Builder’s Merchants Federation (BMF) awards ceremony last month.Simon Melling, assistant branch manager, has been working at the company for the past year, and has just been awarded Apprentice of the year for his work on the BMF Advanced Apprenticeship in Customer Service.Mike Dixon, manager of the Grange branch, also received a similar award in 2010 and is thrilled at what his colleague has achieved. He told Grange Now: “We are of course very happy and proud that Simon has won a national award and, with that now being two award winning members of staff at our little branch, it shows lightening can strike twice when you have dedicated and committed staff.”

Universal Credit rollout in CumbriaUniversal Credit is being rolled out across Cumbria in the near future. Universal Credit is a new benefit that the Government says will make welfare simpler and make work pay. It is a single benefit that will eventually replace Jobseeker’s Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit, Working Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit. It is paid monthly, usually direct into a bank or building society account, and will include rent that you will then pay to your Landlord yourself. The rollout starts for new

claims and changes of circumstances. Gradually all other benefit claims will be transferred over the next 2 years, the Government will write to tell you when.Citizens Advice are here to help if you have any problems or questions. If you have any questions telephone 015394 46464 for an appointment and help.

Beautiful gifts from a bygone eraIf the words collectables, antiques and vintage are music to your ears, then a visit to the new antiques emporium, Butterfield and French in Kendal, is a must.

Amanda Butterfield of Cartmel together with her husband Tony have joined forces with Chris French and his wife Clare. With Chris, who has a great deal of experience in the vintage trade, and Amanda with ten years in banking but a lifetime interest in antiques this venture seems set to be a winner.With their keen eyes for the quirky and their exquisite taste the emporium on the Dockray estate boasts a huge range of gifts and antiques from leather suitcases to toy and kitchen collectables, from large items to hidden gems. It is a veritable Aladdins cave.The Emporium is a friendly family run business but also caters to individual specialist traders in the antiques and vintage market. Amanda, Tony, Chris and Clare are keen to offer something for everyone, stocking arts and crafts, high end antiques,

collectables and vintage items. Stock changes almost daily, so whether you can immerse yourself for a few hours or just have time for a quick browse, a visit is always well worth it.The easiest way to get to the Emporium would be to enter Kendal from the north at the Plumgarth

roundabout. Turn left just after the first set of traffic lights, into Burneside Road. Take the second right into Dockray Hall Mill and the Emporium is straight ahead.The Emporium is open Tuesdays to Saturdays 10am until 5pm and Sundays 10am until 4pm. Amanda and Chris can be contacted on 01539 734849, [email protected] and their website is

Tim’s ColumnI hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are looking forward to a great 2015.As we left 2014 and entered 2015 we faced yet another threat to the services at Westmorland General Hospital. This time the Trust has announced plans to change the shift patterns on the maternity service with the result that the Helme Chase unit will be closed overnight and at weekends with a midwife on call to open it up if anyone needs it. There is no question that this is a downgrade in the service that is being provided to women having babies in South Lakeland. No woman in labour wants to arrive at their maternity unit to find it locked with the lights off and a sign asking them to ring a midwife to drive round with the key to open it up.As many of you will know the maternity unit is a particular concern of mine, our children were born there and we ran a successful campaign to keep it open back in 2000. What is really

annoying is that yet again the Trust has implemented this change without consulting with people. What is the point of making Trusts more accountable to the populations they serve if they continue to make changes that everyone I have heard from disagrees with? I have been in touch with the Chief Executive of the Trust demanding that this is only a temporary change that they review things after 6 months to see how it is working but particularly they need to talk to us before they make any final decisions.On that issue I would really like to hear the views of the service that you get from the Trust, whether in Kendal, Barrow, Lancaster or even the health centre in Ulverston. The Trust has been rated as “failing” by the authorities and as a result has been put into special measures. In an inspection by the Care Quality Commission earlier last year the leadership and safety at the Trust were rated as inadequate. Of the three main hospitals only Westmorland General achieved a rating of

being above average in the service that it provides to its patients. I want to use the opportunity of these “special measures” to collect as many views (good and bad) of the service being provided by the Trust so that I can take these to the authorities who monitor the Trust and work with them to ensure that we all get the care that we deserve in this part of the world.2015 promises to be a big year for me. Many things will remain the same I am sure that we will continue to have to fight for our hospital and other health services but in May we will face the General Election. I try to work as hard as I can for people around here all year round but an election where I could easily find myself out of my job if you don’t feel I have been working hard enough certainly focuses my mind. So please do get in touch with as many things I can help you with as possible. You can reach me by emailing [email protected] or calling 01539 723403.Thanks for your supportTim

County MattersAs we start another year I would just like to wish you all a happy and prosperous 2015.A new Project due to start in the New Year at Grange Library is the Computer tablet programme. This will enable all ages to access more information and work interactively with the new portable computer tablets that will be available for use at the Library. I was able to find County funding to facilitate this so that everyone will benefit from this new service.The County Council budget consultation for 2015/16 is still ongoing and will end on the 20th January. I know people are saying we cannot affect these decisions. In 2014 with relentless pressure from the public and the Conservative Group on the County Council the decision to implement on-street car parking charges was withdrawn by the Lib-Dem Labour Coalition at Carlisle. This is a victory for common sense and makes sure our small rural Towns are not

over-burdened with charges.The Cumbria Fire Service has recently put out an appeal to residents to check their premises as follows:Five Minutes Fire Check Could Save Lives. Cumbria’s residents are being urged to carry out an outline five-minute home fire safety check. Cumbria County Council’s Fire & Rescue Service (CFRS) offers an online assessment to help people understand the risk of fire in their homes. The free assessment is then used by CFRS to determine whether a personal Home Accident Reduction (HART) visit is required.Through HART, CFRS works closely together with other agencies including NHS and Age UK, and has expanded the scope of the home safety visits to also cover aspects such as preventing falls and mobility issues. The online assessment can be found at www.cumbriafire.gov.ukAll the Best for the New YearBill Wearing Conservative County Councillor for Grange Division

Mayor’s ReportIt seems as though the last month has been the busiest so far for Jackie and I. Our first appearance was at the Information Centre Volunteers meeting and lunch.

This was a very successful event and I would like to repeat here just how much we value the work of those who give their time and knowledge to make our TIC the success it is. Without them the experience of both visitors and residents would be much the poorer.

The next time Jackie and I made an official appearance was when we met the Beavers. They had lots of questions for us and I had some for them. The Beavers were given a tour of the building and were very impressed with the Council Chamber, its huge table and giant, slippery leather chairs. One of the young people commented that you ‘wouldn’t be able to fall asleep in a meeting in case you slid under the table!’ We ended a very enjoyable session by playing the Hokey Cokey. I hope no-one took photos!On 22nd we dropped into the Open Day at the Institute to have a really good look around and marvel at the hard work Peter Coomber and his team have put in to achieve a totally refurbished building. I often attend events and meetings at the Institute but had never ventured upstairs to the snooker room. Wow! A hidden gem in the centre of Grange, and a step back in time.And then began the Christmas festivities, starting with the Charity Christmas Fair. This event was a

resounding success and I banked £500 for the Mayor’s Charities. I would like to thank all those who donated prizes or other items for this event as well as a massive ‘thank you’ for their time and energy, to all those who helped organise and run the day. The other groups who also had tables at the event all seemed to think it was worthwhile and I hope they too banked goodly sums.This weekend, I was lucky enough to spend time with Taffy Thomas at the Extravaganza, having been asked to present prizes to the winners of the first Grange Literary Competition, which we jointly judged. The entries were of a consistently high standard and it was a pity they couldn’t all have won, but sadly that isn’t how it works.It was really great to see the town in festive spirits and so many of the business folk engaged in the events. The culmination of the day was the lighting of the tree and the arrival of Santa, which despite the rain really was a lovely thing to be invited to take part in.On a sadder note, I was very disappointed, and indeed quite angry, that some selfish person has damaged one of the panels on the lido with graffiti. These panels were paid for by local businesses and individuals and have given pleasure to hundreds of people, local and visitors alike. We will be doing our best to remove this excrescence and really hope that there will not be a recurrence.May I take this opportunity on behalf of the Town Council, to wish you all a very healthy and happy New Year.Tricia Thomas December 2014

They always welcome new singers and stress that no previous singing experience is necessary, and you don’t have to audition. If you would like to join them you can either, go along on 8th January, email [email protected] or phone 35517.The dates for first term of 2015 are: January 8, 15, 22, 29, February 5, 12, 26, March 12, 19, 26.

“Muddles - don’t get muddled!”

Singing for the BrainThe ‘Singing for the Brain’ sessions in the Methodist Schoolroom each Thursday morning for dementia sufferers have gone extremely well.

Voce raise the roof of Lakeland Motor Museum

You could be forgiven for getting muddled in a panto which lasted 116 years!I am of course referring to the youth section of Grange and District Amateur Operatic Society and their fabulous interpretation of Sleeping Beauty. Fantastic performances from everyone, ably led by Amy Shepherd (Muddles), Murray Adams (the Dame), Elisia Carter and Jessica Walmsley as the King and Queen, and, of course, the King’s panties (you had to be there) Fetch and Carry.Molly Cowley was exceptional as bad witch Hazel while Katie Gregory and Lucia Harrington took on the role of Princess Rose as a child and then a teenager.The cast were in fine voice and the performances were polished and slick. There was an appearance from a

famous man in a red suit who arrived to rapturous applause, but for me, the highlight of the show was the little girl sitting in front of me. She was about 4 years old and she lived every minute of that show. Her face wreathed in smiles, she laughed, clapped, sang and danced and gave squeals of delight throughout - and that’s what panto’s all about.

Male quartet, Voce, put on a mesmerising performance at the Lakeland Motor Museum on Friday 21st November to raise money for St Mary’s Hospice.The evening was the latest fundraising event organised by the tireless committee at the Leven Valley Support Group. A tour of the motor museum, which had been provided free of charge by Les Micklethwaite, kicked off the evening for the 100 plus guests who attended.

Another successful fundraiser during the evening was a “Guess the Weight of The Christmas Cake” competition which was provided free of charge by Andrew Southcott Catering. Thanks to Lakeland Motor Museum and Andrew Southcott providing their services free of charge, a massive £850 was raised for the hospice.The Support Group would like to thank everyone for their kind generosity and for their continuous support.

Run by the Soroptimists in association with the Alzheimer’s Society, the 10-week pilot ended on 18th December, but it has been agreed that we will start again on Thursday, 22nd January and run until 2nd April, this time at the Allithwaite Community Centre where parking is easier. The sessions start at 10.30 am with coffee and biscuits before the one-hour of singing and fun from 11 am. There is time afterwards for anyone who wants another cuppa and the chance for a chat. We have averaged 20 people

each week, including both men and women. This is not a choir – there is no requirement to sing! All those who have attended have enjoyed the fun, fellowship, and the opportunity to sing along to old-time favourites. There are still spaces available, so do come and join us.If you would like to know more about this venture, or to enrol for January, please ring Janice Carrick, tel: 015395 58001, or Sue Scott, Alzheimer Dementia Support Worker, tel:01539 742361


FOOD & DRINK

Healthy (& Tasty) New Year EatingWith the festivities of the Christmas period behind us, so too are those sinful Christmas foods. The pies and pastries consumed without hesitation must now be paid for with strict healthy eating.

But, before you plan a month long diet of cabbage soup, remember that as a rule, humans don’t react well to change, especially not abrupt changes. Studies have shown that weight loss and general health improvements are more effective as part of a gradual plan of lifestyle improvements, including dietary changes. With that in mind, we’ve put together a few mealtime suggestions that would be perfect as part of any ‘New Year Healthy Eating Plan’, and are kind on the purse after the Christmas excesses. They are low in fat and carbohydrates but are still hearty enough for the winter months.Chicken and butternut squash casserole with butter beans, served with some curly kale. (Use chicken fillets instead of thighs or drumsticks) Lamb curry made with lean diced Lamb, chopped tomatoes, red onions and garam masala spices, served with brown rice.

Higginsons’ Lemon & Ginger marinated Duck fillets served with sweet potato mash and seasonal greens. (Sweet potatoes are a healthier alternative to the regular white potato, and can be cooked in their skins in the microwave so no butter is required!) Grilled Venison steaks with spiced red cabbage and oven-baked balsamic shallots .Higginsons prime Rump Steaks with a selection of roasted vegetables and hummus dip (our Rump Steaks are lean & tender once the fat has been removed).All the recipes above include Special Offer fresh Meats - Visit us at the shop in January to take advantage of our latest Special Offers and to collect some of our recipe booklets.

United Reformed Church December saw all the special Christmas events, and with Christmas trees, inside and outside the church.

Our Christmas Coffee morning, was, as always, a great success! Thanks to everyone who was able to support the efforts. Best of all was the joint Carol Service with our Methodist friends which took place in our church, a really joyful occasion. Now we look forward to a New Year full of hope, inspired by our Christmas worship.We wish you all a very special 2015

St Paul’s GrangeWe were pleased to welcome Tim Farron and his family to St Paul’s for the reception to mark the opening of the Christmas Tree Festival.

The church was full to capacity with everyone enjoying the spectacle of thirty-six decorated Christmas trees, performances from the Bay Community Singers and Grange Primary School choir and musicians. With wine and canapés during the interval and Robin Webster as Master of Ceremonies, it was a fantastic start to the festive season.A group from church led a Christmas crafting session at Grange Primary School helping the children to make mobiles to decorate the church. The mobiles can be seen suspended from the lights and have the Peace and Goodwill to All theme to complement the Festival.St Paul’s will be open daily for visitors to view the trees and coffee and biscuits will be made available all day. It will also be possible for visitors to

see the display showing the church reordering specifications produced by the congregation during their many discussions concerning the future of the church building. Please join us at St Paul’s on Sunday 18th January at 3 pm when we will be hosting the first service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity and we will be welcoming our guest speaker Lawrence Moore from the URC Institute at Windermere.On Sunday 25th January please note that there will be no 11 am service at St Paul’s as we will be uniting with our friends at St Paul’s, Lindale for the annual Patronal service.At the end of the month the members of the Parochial Church Council will attend their annual away day at Natland.

St CharlesI hope you all have had a holy, happy and restful Christmas and are looking forward to the challenge of the New Year.

Two weddings and two baptisms were good pre-Advent services. We thank God for Johnnie’s excellent lungs and charming smile. He just loves water!! The Bible Time Line course was much appreciated and a group want to re-run it after Christmas. The Christocentric nature of the Old Testament was very revealing for many.It is hoped that St Cuthbert’s will be going on the market soon once one or two pieces of necessary information are obtained. The Grange Extravaganza was, I believe, very successful – good returns and the weather wasn’t too bad considering the time of year. The next one must be in summer – no question!The re-vamping of the Co-op led indirectly to varying questions and rumblings about the car park. The town is normally difficult for parking spaces, so no way could one ignore the pressure that would have been had I not allowed the service people to use

the parish car park. But I do remind people – the car park is for parishioners and church services – it is NOT a public car park.What a marvellous exhibition of Christmas trees at St Pauls. It was certainly worth a visit, and all involved deserve much praise. Well done! We look forward to an excellent Christmas Concert by Voce – more next time. A packed church, very colourful African dresses and an extremely responsive congregation was the scene for the lively wedding of Edna and David.The Advent Service, with mulled wine and mince pies which followed was in the evening – a more sedate but a very meaningful service.God bless and a happy and healthy New Year. Fr P.PS: The laziest man I ever met put popcorn in his pancakes so they would turn over by themselves!

Grange Methodist ChurchThe Women’s Network Meeting in December had a Christmas flavour. Ros Harrison, demonstrated Christmas Flower arrangements. At the 3 T’s meeting, members took part and there was Christmas music and readings. One, a Yorkshire man’s description of a visit to a performance of the Messiah, another was the choir boys carol singing round their village, from ‘Cider with Rosie’, and an all time favourite,

‘’Twas the Night before Christmas’, the poem all children love. Afterwards, members enjoyed a Jacob’s Join buffet, where so many goodies were displayed and eaten.Morning service at Grange Methodist Church was taken by Toast Church,

where the children, demonstrated a ‘mega machine’ which in its turn produced an angel, a manger, lambs and sheep, shepherds, two kings, (the third was out of sorts), and a lovely real live Kenyan family, mother, father and nine week old baby. The children are raising money for ‘Send a Cow’, which is usually in calf, and when it is weaned, the calf is passed on to another family. There were plates of homemade biscuits

to enjoy with cups of tea after service. All much appreciated by the adults.In the evening, children of the Pantomime group held a carol service in the church, again demonstrating their talents. They are in demand, to present programmes in residential homes around the town. Thanks are due to Jean and Mick Malkin and other adults for training and helping them to overcome shyness as they perform.

In January we will have another Week of Prayer for Christian Unity. The theme this time is to be “The Well is Deep”, centering our thoughts on the Samaritan women who met Jesus at the Well.

SCHOOL REPORTS

RotaKids Charter at Grange Primary

Allithwaite Primary Year 5 and 6 have spent this term studying the Mayan Civilisation. Part of this work has involved composing a piece of music to reflect a Mayan Sacrifice.

Smartie pants

Cartmel Priory School hosted its fifth Primary Maths Master Class in November. Fourteen students attended the course from the local Primary Schools of Allithwaite, Flookburgh, Grange, Cartmel and Leven Valley. The students completed a workshop which focused on high level probability questions based around the popular sweet Smarties. Students went on to calculate the probability of their older family members being able to win the lottery. Well done to Ben, Dylan, Robert, Toby, Ross, Amy, Gina, Holly, Hannah, Zoe and Hannah.

Congratulations to the School Council who were granted their RotaKids Charter, a first for a Grange school and the Rotary Club of Grange.Rotarian John Biddlestone said, “I am delighted to support the children and Miss Eccleston, teacher responsible for coordinating the work of the School Council, in establishing the first RotaKids Charter in our town. The children are a joy to work with, so enthusiastic and keen to help others.Their ambitious programme aims to introduce a walking bus every Wednesday morning. This is to keep children safe on the way to school and also to reduce morning congestion around the school. Recently, they have launched a Christmas Toys For Sick Children Appeal and the RotaKids plan to visit sick children at Furness General Hospital to deliver toys etc.Finally, the school’s partnership with Sicles Primary School, Nepal will be supported in the New Year by sending parcels of writing materials, workbooks, stickers and pens.

Headteacher, Phillipa Summers, commented: The RotaKids Charter is now proudly displayed in our school. Our young school councillors have risen to the challenge and, with the support of Grange Rotary, have

taken action to help improve the lives of others in their community. Already we can see how they are developing thinking and negotiation skills, becoming resourceful and eager to make a difference.”

Flookburgh PrimaryChristmas celebrations have begun and we are also celebrating after Ofsted inspection, which resulted in a grade ‘good’ in all sections. We are all very proud and happy about it, as everyone worked extremely hard to improve the overall effectiveness of the school.Preparations and rehearsals for the Christmas productions are in full swing. Nursery and Reception have been learning about People Who Help Us. They held an assembly about firemen, policemen, and even met someone from CIU (Crime Investigation Unit), who explained and demonstrated the fascinating job he does. Year 2, 3 and 4 have had a very busy term researching the changes from Stone to Iron Age and preparing for the Christmas Production. Year 5 and 6 were also busy designing and creating a Christmas themed apps/games using the Espresso Coding free code section in order to enter their competition, which gives our children a brilliant opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge acquired over this term. We thoroughly enjoyed this year’s pantomime ‘Aladdin’ at Kendal Town Hall, which was a very kind Christmas treat from Friends of Flookburgh School. Stories Round the Christmas Tree was also a pleasure for children, staff and parents. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

To help them understand how music tells a story they have been using the BBC‘s Ten Pieces project. “Ten Pieces is an exciting new initiative for primary schools, focusing on classical music and creativity. It was launched this Autumn and is running for a year. Ten Pieces aims to open up the world of classical music to children – and inspire them to develop their own creative responses to the pieces through music, dance or digital art.” – BBC .One of the pieces was especially commissioned and composed by Anna Meredith. Anna is a contemporary composer who explores sounds made by using

voices and body percussion. Clapping, stamping and movement are incorporated into her work. The children used this to compose their own piece telling the story of a Mayan Sacrifice. The children were split into groups and each group composed their own piece of body percussion and choreographed movement to go with it. The final piece had a heart beat rhythm throughout that increased in speed as the music choreography told its story. The music and dance finished with a triumphant shout from all the children symbolising the Mayans jubilance at their victims’ death!

Grange Guides Celebrate 40 years

Grange Guides has had a busy term attending lots of exciting activities and events.Our weekly meetings have involved; cooking on fires, treasure hunts round Grange, completing the Girlguiding North West England International Challenge badge (involving activities and cooking from Armenia, Morocco and Costa Rica) and making crafts.Three teams of girls attended the Waddecar Service Crew Challenge, where the teams of 3 navigating around bases on Beacon Fell completing various tasks on each base including; first aid, map reading, knots, DIY and team challenges. Despite a wet start to the day all the teams did well, but a massive well done to Philippa Bell, Ellie Douglas and Libby Ellwood who came 16th out of 85 teams.November 30th we also attended Cumbria South’s 40th Anniversary Celebrations at the Manjushri Centre, Conishead Priory, Ulverston with nearly 1000 other Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Guiders and Guests.

Dear EditorIn your November edition we wrote about the sad demise of the bench which had been mindlessly thrown over the cliff from the View Point in Yewbarrow Wood.We are now happy to report that the bench has been repaired and returned to this spot, offering walkers an opportunity to stop and take in the wonderful view over Grange and Morecambe Bay.So, many thanks to whoever it was who did the restoration job( which must have been quite challenging) . Also may we take this opportunity to thank the person who constructed the bench in the first place.It was a great idea and is much appreciated.Two Local Walkers.

Dear EditorMy husband’s father died on 9 August and a collection was made at the church and also in our shop, Procters Butchers. A total of £692.37 was raised for St Mary’s Hospice and this was handed over to the hospice on 12 October 2014. We would like to thank the people of Grange who made a donation in memory of Towers Barber.Thank you. Jill Barber

Dear EditorAfter attending a performance of Grange Drama’s Educating Rita, a number of students, who are taking the Access to Higher Education Diploma at Furness College, wrote to Grange Now with their review of the play.Paul, Rebecca, Charlotte and Sarah wrote: “After attending Educating Rita, we feel that it really helped us as students to gain an insight into the characters and the context in which the play was written. The Grange production of the play put meat on the bones for us and we feel gave a greater understanding of the intricacies happening between the two characters.” Charlotte wrote: “The actors played the characters superbly and gave me a greater insight in to the book”, and Vicky and Kim felt: “Some of us found it refreshing and others found it was rather too contemporary and did not fit well within the play.”Furness College students review Educating RitaWe are sorry that we are unable to print the review in full due to space constraints but thank the students for their contribution - Editor.

Divorce is never easy!Divorce needn’t be difficult with the right advice and at Poole Townsend we offer sound legal advice along with a fixed fee, so you will know exactly what you are paying for.There are essentially five grounds for divorce:-• Adultery• Unreasonable Behaviour• Desertion• Having lived apart for more than two years (your spouse has to agree in

writing) and • Having lived apart for more than five years (in which case there is no need

for the spouse’s agreement).If you both agree to the divorce you will usually not have to appear in court, but if the divorce is defended or if both of you petition, you may have to attend a court hearing. If you both agree to the divorce, you can apply for a decree nisi, an official certificate that says the judge agrees you can divorce. Six weeks after you have received this, you can apply for a decree absolute, the legal document that shows your marriage has ended. Divorce proceedings don’t have to be combative and you do not need to go to court to sort out how your assets will be split, although clearly that depends on individual situations. Through collaborative family law, you and your solicitor could work with your former partner and their solicitor in four-way meetings, aimed at helping you reach the most suitable outcome by agreement, rather than through the courts.How soon you reach the end goal of receiving the decree absolute depends on how straightforward matters are and how acrimonious the separation. In an uncontested divorce you could expect to receive the decree within four to six months.In divorce, all assets acquired during the marriage are essentially laid out on the table and divided up according to fairness and need: pensions, overseas bank accounts, corporate bank accounts, property – everything. Pre-marital acquisitions, and things bought post-separation, are generally not divided up, unless they are needed.If you cannot reach a financial agreement, you might decide to involve a mediator to facilitate discussions, although they cannot offer legal advice. You can find a mediator through resolution.org.uk. We have a solicitor within the firm who is a member of Resolution. If you cannot agree on how to divide your assets, the next stage would usually be to instruct solicitors to help you negotiate a settlement agreement.Once you have reached an agreement, whether with or without external help, your solicitor will need to draw up a consent order, which must be signed by each party and their respective solicitors. A consent order is very important, it allows you to enforce clauses further down the line and can include a clean break order so that neither party can later make a claim.If you need legal advice about a divorce, turn to Poole Townsend.

Make the most of your electronic Christmas gifts

ADVERTORIAL

Many of the popular presents received at Christmas were broadband-hungry devices including, Smart TVs, gaming consoles and tablets like the popular iPad. If you were lucky enough to be given any of these make sure that slow broadband doesn’t mean you miss out on the fun as you’ll need a broadband speed of at least 2Meg to enjoy them

to the full. If you’d like faster broadband to make the most of your fun-filled Christmas toys Kencomp Internet can help. We specialise in providing superfast broadband throughout rural Cumbria and as we don’t use the phone lines our speeds are a lot faster than most phone-line broadband. 01539 898145 www.kencomp.net


R.N.L.IThe Lifeboat Coffee Morning was held in the Methodist Church Hall in Grange on Saturday 8th November. There was a constant flow of people coming in, and the Branch was very pleased to have so much support at this annual event which raised £868.33 for the RNLI. A raffle was held during the morning, and the top prizes were won as follows:Christmas hamper – Mr Fell; Hazelmere Café voucher – Ms Graham; Christmas cake – Mr Lamb. Other prizes were won by Mr Fryer, Mrs Gardner, Ms Thomas, Ms Tyson, Ms Murthwaite, Mr Smith, Ms Shaw. Very grateful thanks to everyone who donated items, and attended this event, and helped to raise funds for the lifeboats.

Grange InstituteThanks to lottery funding, Grange Institute has recently undergone an extensive makeover. According to one committee member, the most common expression from visitors attending the Open Day on 22nd November was: “wow”. There are probably many residents of Grange, new and lifelong, who have never ventured inside the former Working Mens’ Institute, and who would be surprised at the accommodation inside.Civic Mayor, Tricia Thomas, attended the Open Day and was persuaded to pick up a cue and was given a quick lesson in ‘lining up a shot’. Councillor Thomas has no plans to give up her present career though! The Institute will be holding its Annual General Meeting on 30th January 2015 at 7.30 p.m. in the Institute. All members of the public are invited to attend.

Ken Etteridge was the photographer. Menu choices were made for the dinner in January and a deposit taken. Subscriptions are due in January and treasure Shirley Christie handed out envelopes for these. Two ladies will go to Crook WI`s New Year party.The speaker Trevor Hughes , assisted by David Oates, described an amazing trip they, and a third friend, made when they went from Kendal to London by Kayak. It took 6 months of planning, researching and getting themselves fit.Their combined ages added up to 180+ and it took 16 days.They were fortunate in having a back-up man

who drove the camper van and had a hot meal ready for them every day.He also provided the picnic lunches.They were also lucky with the weather as it was October.There were many problems along the way but they kept cheerfully on their way and finished at Tower Bridge 1/2 hour ahead of schedule. They showed many excellent pictures of this extraordinary journey.Charities benefited to the tune of £8000 +Next month: William Plumtree on “ A Year with a National Treasure” Competition : A piece of Handmade Pottery.

Grange Lecture SocietyNicholas Crane, presenter of the TV series ‘Coast’, returned to Grange on 25th November to deliver the Donovan Noble Memorial Lecture. In an attractively illustrated talk he took his audience on a journey around Britain’s coastline concentrating on places and people featured in the TV series and recalling, where appropriate, something of the history. He also offered an insight into the making of the programmes, the different personnel involved and the challenges of filming at difficult or remote locations like Cape Wrath.On 2nd December in his Nevile Burwell Memorial Lecture ‘Wild Vision – A Celebration of the Natural World’, John Beatty presented an exciting retrospective of his career as a nature and adventure photographer. Whether he was taking close-ups of an Icelandic volcanic eruption, encountering emperor penguins in Antarctica or celebrating round a camp fire with primitive Kalahari Bushmen, John’s arresting images and inspirational commentary held his listeners in thrall.On 13th January explorer Geoff Somers will speak on ‘Borneo – Vanishing World’ and on 27th January the intriguing title of former barrister Jim Williams’ lecture is ‘Great Forgers’. Lectures begin at 7.15pm in the Victoria Hall.

Cartmel and District Flower Club On 9th December in the Victoria hall Grange, we held our” Gala” demonstration ‘Christmas Greetings’ by the very talented, national demonstrator, Sue Wareing. Sue entertained us with amusing stories from her early years in and

around Barrow, from school days, family, workplaces, and now flower arranging. She very generously gave hints and tips on how we too could achieve the ingenious containers she used which she made herself with help from her plumber husband, Ron. There was a choice and variety of beautiful flowers including roses, carnations, amaryllis and magnificent orchids. The stage was truly a magical Christmas scene, with a large white star decorated with white orchids.In the audience, we welcomed the Mayor and Consort of Grange, and the chair of Ulverston Flower Club.Thank you to everyone who supported our Gala . It was a very memorable evening.Next meeting will take place on 16th February at 2pm in Cartmel village hall. Visitor’s very welcome.

NSPCC On Saturday 22nd November, our annual Christmas coffee morning was held for the first time in the United Reformed Church Hall. This was most successful and was a very sociable and enjoyable morning attended by those who supported the NSPCC in their task of looking after vulnerable children in the North West. We would like to thank everyone, most sincerely, who came and helped to raise the fantastic sum of £553.60. We are most grateful to the supporters of the NSPCC and look forward to seeing you at our forthcoming events in 2015. Meanwhile, we would like to wish everyone a very happy New Year.

Grange RamblersOn 6rd December Christmas lunch was held once again at the Woodland Hotel, group members enjoyed a festive 3 courses meal of traditional fare, it was a very sociable occasion much enjoyed by everyone, thanks to Woodlands Hotel for the good food and excellent service. On Tuesday 2nd December, 7 members set off in bright sunshine with a nip in the air for a 6 miles circular walk from Baycliffe to Sunbirck, the walk started from Fisherman Arms, the nice country road took us to Aldingham, we trekked along the beach with stunning reflections from the wet sands and background of blue sky. We join the path across fields to Scales Farm and Wind Hill then leading to Scales. After the lunch in the sunshine, the route leading to Sunbrick footpath then Baycliffe, lovely view over the bay with rivulets of water threading a path across the sands, the walk ended back to Fisherman Arms for refreshment. Walk leader Alan Heaton. Why not join us and walk off the excesses of the festive period with a 5.5 miles Christmas walk around Haverthwaite/Bigland?

Rotary Club of Grange over SandsAs foretold, the Club along with members of the Lions Club, set off with Santa and his little helpers in various parts of Grange over Sands and Allithwaite during December. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the collection which will be spent on local charities.Sixty Rotarians, their friends and family attended the Christmas Lunch at the Netherwood Hotel, when President Colin Wilkinson presided over a happy social occasion with a superb meal.The Club has recently introduced ‘Friends of Rotary’. Friends assist at various fundraising events, and it gives them an opportunity to see if they would like become Rotarians.

Grange LionsAt our November meeting it was decided to donate money to MIND Cumbria as this organisation is struggling to stay open because of a lack of funds. Mental health issues are so common these days and none of us know if we may need support from this fantastic organisation in the future.December saw a very lively and enjoyable Presentation Evening which was attended by Lions, their family and friends.Donations were presented to several organisations. Amongst these were Norman Broadhurst Chairman of St. Mary’s Hospice accepting a cheque on their behalf and Barbara and Reg Brown who accepted a cheque on behalf of Jigsaw, the Cumbria Children’s Hospice. Representatives of

Flooks 4 Youth and Kidsafe also attended as did Luke Armstrong, a local teenager who was a member of the GB junior baseball team this year.December also saw us in Flookburgh with our usual Coffee morning in the village hall....always well attended by a very supportive community and our thanks to all who helped make this a successful event.Grange Lions and Santa on his sleigh had several busy evenings touring the area collecting for local charities. Despite some bad weather Santa and his elves had a good pre-Christmas season and will be enjoying a well earned rest come Christmas Day!

Grange over Sands Golf ClubMembers and visitors have been enjoying several events this last month. The golfers have still been able to play even though the temperatures have dropped. There has been a good Quiz night, a coffee morning and also the ladies put on a mini pantomime which was fun to do and apparently enjoyed by the audience.Our quizzes will continue every month over the winter and are open to all with supper served half way through the evening. Our new Gents’ Captain and Lady Captain have now taken over their roles for the coming year and we all wish them well.Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all from Grange over Sands Golf Club.

Grange WIMembers had a great Festive evening at the ‘At Home’ Bistro in December. The food was excellent - sprout and black pudding fritters were a triumph. Deb won the festive quiz and members took home some fabulous prizes in the raffle. Grange WI is really getting established in the town – we even got two mentions in the Christmas Panto Sleeping Beauty. We have a varied programme of events planned for 2015 – something to interest everyone so do check out the programme on display in the Library from mid-January. Our first event on Thursday 22 January is a creative one with Amy Holland demonstrating the art of origami flowers and there will be a chance to make some too. New members are welcome to join us. Please contact Joanne for more details – 015395 32932.

Grange and District U3AOur November general meeting was entertained by Dr Rob David on the subject of ‘Ice Houses in Cumbria’. What appeared to be a rather dry subject proved to be a stimulating and informative item enlivened by an account of school research into the functioning of the Levens Hall ice house. Perhaps, as a result of the presentation, a number of U3A members will be seen wandering around the hall grounds searching for the elusive building.December saw successful events at the Heron Theatre – the film ‘Warhorse’ and a lively theatre production of ‘A Christmas Carol’. Bob Lear’s interest in all things dramatic has led him to consider adding a new ‘Cinema Goers’ group to the U3A portfolio of interest groups – watch this space. And for the competitive among us, January brings the challenge of ‘friendly’ badminton and table tennis matches between Grange and South Lakes U3As. The general meeting speaker programme for 2015 has now been published and interest groups are firming up their own programmes. 2015 promises to be a special year with events tailored to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Grange U3A. We would like to wish everyone ‘Happy Christmas’ and a stimulating and fulfilling New Year.
