Please Note. For reasons explained below and as a temporary measure the Lee & Link'em News has been added to this page 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. Ian and Cynthia Stuart, Heather Booker, Co-editors 2 March 2010
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!

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!
