LEE & LINK’EM NEWS
SPECIAL EDITION – MARCH 2010
ANNOUNCEMENT AND APOLOGY
Many regular readers will have realised that the Spring 2010 edition of
the Lee & Link’em News should have been published by now. Unfortunately,
this has not happened and it is unlikely that it will be published this
month and it may be into April before it is printed.
Although a number of us are involved with the News’ production, it is
really Gina Luisa-Hilborne who is the essential person in the team. Gina
puts everything together and uses her tremendous skills to produce the
high standards that we are now used to. Gina has been under a lot of
personal pressure recently and, as many readers know, is heavily pregnant
and expecting her first child soon. Sadly, Gina has been admitted to
hospital and may have to remain in hospital for some time through the last
stages of her pregnancy and, possibly, after giving birth.
Clearly, it has not been possible for Gina to put the News together
although she had hoped to do so in the last few days. As much is going to
happen in the village over the next few months, we thought it would be
sensible to publish the diary of events that always appears on page 2 of
the News and to explain why the Spring edition is delayed. An insert about
the re-opening of the Memorial Hall and advanced publicity about the
Spring Fayre was going to be put inside the News, so this is attached on a
sheet of blue paper. In addition, an advertisement about a ‘100 Club
Lottery’ to raise funds for the Hall Development Project and provide
attractive prizes was to appear in the News. As this will start at the
beginning of April, a copy of this advertisement is also attached to
ensure everyone knows about this new development in time. We do hope many
readers will join the ‘100 Club Lottery’.
We are sure that all readers will join us in wishing Gina well, and we
look forward to hearing good news about Gina and Stuart’s new arrival in
due course. We also, of course, look forward to the Spring edition of the
Lee & Link’em News when it appears.

LEE MEMORIAL HALL
'CELEBRATE LEE' – RE-OPENING OF THE HALL FOLLOWING MAJOR
REBUILDING AND REFURBISHMENT
SATURDAY 27 MARCH 2010: 11.00 am – 5.00 pm
You are most warmly invited to the Hall to celebrate the re-opening of
the Hall and to celebrate village life.
Each village group or organisation is putting on a display that will
celebrate what it does and achieves, and will be providing useful
information about itself for residents, other local people and visitors.
The new and refurbished buildings will be open for viewing.
The Hall will be open from 11.00 am to 5.00 pm. You are welcome at any
time, but, at 12 noon, there will be a short, informal ceremony to mark
the re-opening. The arrangements for the day are as follows:
11.00 am – 5.00 pm: Hall open for inspection and to see the
displays representing 16 different village groups and organisations – an
impressive number for a village of about 200 residents and a testimony of
the strength of the community.
Refreshments, provided by village resident and outside caterer,
Julia Waghorn, available for purchase all day.
Opening ceremony at 12 noon, including short contributions from
two of our major funders (Community Council of Devon and North Devon
Council) and from Lionel Hill, a stalwart of the village community and
born in the village in 1923, the year the Hall was originally opened.
Everyone is welcome to this open day – village residents, local people,
visitors from near and far. Do come and enjoy yourselves!
LEE AND LINCOMBE
"VICTORIAN" SPRING FAYRE
TO BE HELD ON BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY
31 ST
MAY
FROM 2 P.M.
We’re moving on from the medieval times of 2008 and the
pirate times of 2009 to Victorian times in 2010! After Easter 150 years
ago, the village school opened, so this seems a good event to celebrate.
We have the enthusiastic support of Ilfracombe Victorian
Committee who see our event as a preview of Victorian Week in Ilfracombe a
fortnight later, but we need you to help to make our village fayre a
successful and pleasurable occasion!
We have many helpers who are already committed to help,
but we are always willing to welcome new recruits! If you would like to
help, please contact Allyson Poore (879469) or Hall Chairman Ian Stuart
(863396). Let us know if you have a new idea for a stall or attraction.
The more the merrier!
We shall be appealing later for items for the stalls –
Home made cakes, bread, jams and pickles, Full bottles of all shapes and
sizes, Books, games and jigsaws, Good condition children‟s toys, Raffle
prizes, Glass, ceramics, and good quality bric a brac, Plants, seedlings
and home grown produce, Etc, etc.
Please start collecting now. If you haven‟t anywhere to
store things, let us know and we‟ll collect from you.
There will be all the usual attractions at the fayre,
including entertainment, and there will be a children’s Victorian dress
competition. Well before the event, we hope to hold a social evening when
some members of the Victorian committee will run a workshop on how to make
Victorian costumes at virtually no cost from old clothes. Sounds great
fun!
PLEASE RESERVE THE DATE NOW. MONDAY 31 ST
MAY, 2.00 PM!

Bored of waiting for the big one?
Then have a go at the little one
Join The 100 Club
For £5 a month, you can invest where the National Lottery wouldn’t
and finally
stand a REAL chance of winning some cash!
A one in 20 chance of winning £100, 2 x £50 and 2 x £25 every
month!
Compare these Stats!
Chance of winning National Lottery Jackpot - 1 in 14,000,000 or a
£10 prize - 1 in 57
Chance of winning 100 Club Jackpot - 1 in 100 or Any prize not less
than £25 - 1 in 20
Distribution of Profits: The NL supports all sorts of very worthy
projects – but this doesn’t include Lee Memorial Hall (we were turned
down for a large lottery grant and are ineligible to apply for a small
one)
The 100 Club will direct all profits into the management,
maintenance and restoration of your fabulous village amenity.
OK, so we know we can’t match the average £2 million Jackpot of the
NL, ours is just £250, but consider the
effects of winning each Jackpot:
With the NL, you can guarantee jealous and bitter friends and
family will disappear in droves when you fail to pay off their
mortgages. Worse still, they will be quickly replaced by thousands of
new friends who will start sending you letters and camping in your
back garden.
In addition there is a good chance you’ll get fat, undertake
misguided investment, acquire new bad habits - or develop old ones
further - and suffer psychological damage.
Win the 100 Club lottery Jackpot and.. well… none of this will
happen to you. You might just go out and treat yourself to a new pair
of shoes or a cordless drill. What could be nicer?!
Don’t miss the boat – you have to be in it to win it – Sign up now
see a member of the Hall committee for further details or call Kate
01271 865591 or
Edna 01271 866438
