LYSAGHT NEWS – JANUARY 2024

MEMBERSHIP FINAL REMINDER!

Happy New Year to all our Members we thank you for your continued support, and a big thank you to all of you that have already renewed your membership for 2024, which is due this year by January 31st 2024.

This is a final reminder to those who haven’t already renewed their membership (if you have already paid your membership please ignore this request) we need to receive your renewal forms by the 31st January 2024, failure to do so will mean that your details are removed from our database and you will no longer receive regular emails with details of what’s on at the Lysaght Village Hall & Club, and if you do want to re join at a later date you will have to complete a membership application form to be approved by the Management Committee.

At the end of December 2023 we have an amazing 275 members!!

We hope to distribute membership cards during the first week of February, some by post to those that don’t live locally, however to save money on postage many will be available to collect from the Club so do ask Angie at the bar when you visit next.

ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE LYSAGHT MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE

We are pleased to announce the appointment of Angie Ovens into the role of part-time Steward of the Lysaght Village Hall and Club.

As you are probably aware, Angie has been doing a first class job overseeing the running of the hall and club for a few years now, all of which has been done on her own time. The Management Committee feel that it is in the best interests of the club for there to be an official point of contact for members in addition to recognition for all her hard work. We are sure you will join us in thanking Angie for everything she does and hope that you will continue to support the club as usual.

Angie Hobley

Hon. Secretary for and behalf of the Lysaght Management Committee

KING CHARLES III ~ CORONATION TREE ~ UPDATE

Back in June we celebrated the Coronation of King Charles III here at the Lysaght Village Hall & Club, we all have fond memories of a wonderful day, on that day we had hoped to plant a tree in the grounds of the Lysaght in honour of this auspicious occasion, however the timing wasn’t right and we had to wait until November to actually plant the “King of the Pippins” tree in its new home outside the Lysaght Village Hall, now safely planted and happy to report seems in very good health thanks to Angie and Nick Hobley for their care and attention looking after the tree until such time that it could be safely planted, we now have a plaque which details the moment that Margaret Cook planted the tree in the grounds of the Lysaght in honour of this auspicious occasion. We hope that the AppleTree will give a huge amount of pleasure to members and visitors to the Lysaght Village Hall & Club and it will also be a fitting reminder of Margaret Cook and her huge contribution to not only the Lysaght Village Hall & Club as Trustee but to the Village and Community of Old Cleeve.
