Letter from the Editor Interestingly SLDC recently revealed that their reserves amounted to £14.556 million of which £7.883 million is earmarked.

This leaves £6.723 million unallocated. With the Lido consultation ended some time ago we hope that some of the available funds can be put to good use to finally launch works on the Lido - a move that I am sure would be appreciated by many people.

As you read this you have probably just voted in the local elections so we’ll see what comes of that.

A date for your diary is the Cartmel Rocks festival (previously Joe and Connie Calling). Many local people and businesses have supported this local charity over the last 4 years and this year the event takes place on Saturday June 9th from 1pm - 11pm.

Best of luck to everyone (including my daughter) who is facing the pressure of exams - a tough time for parents, students and teachers.

New date for Ravenstown Fun Day In the March edition of Grange Now, we published an article about Ravenstown turning 100 this year.

A Fun Day was planned at Ravenstown Club for Saturday 9th June but sadly this clashes with the Joe and Connie Calling event so the Fun Day will now take place on Saturday 16th June.

Organisers told Grange Now, “If anyone has any old photos to share on the day or would like to help on the day, it would be very much appreciated.

“We have quite a lot of attractions organised including: Bouncy

Castles, Donkey Rides, FacePainting, Morris Dancing, Children’s Sports and some for the adults too!”

Events the Club has already planned include: 16th June - 100 year celebration Fun day; 19th August - Vegetable Show and 29th September - Elton John tribute act.

In the March edition of Grange Now we publicised a fundraising concert that Grange Concert club were holding in Victoria Hall.

A spokesperson for the club told Grange Now: “The Grange-over -Sands and District Concert Club are concerned about the possible closure of the Victoria Hall and recognise its importance to both the club as its concert venue and to the town. The committee had discussed possible ways to support the hall. They were keen to improve the visual aspect for concert goers, as most chamber group musicians perform from the floor of the hall. Purchasing the staging was seen as a way to achieve both aims; better sight lines and an additional source of income for the Victoria Hall.

“To a rousing fanfare by the Prince Bishop’s Brass Quintet, the club president Dr. Sheila Phizacklea and the committee presented the staging they had purchased to Mayor Peter Endsor and to the Victoria Hall

manager Sally Haines. Sally was delighted and said that other organisations would be able to make good use of the staging, improving sight lines when the stage is not being used and providing additional stage space for large performing groups.

“The cost of £2582.85 was met mainly by the proceeds of the club’s 9th March fundraising concert given by the Ulverston Victoria High School Swing Band.”

Make a note for Saturday 9th June when Grange celebrates the 25th Edwardian Festival in Park Road Gardens.

This year, to celebrate 25 years of Grange’s family day out, the bandstand will feature BANDS – old favourites and new – and the ever popular traditional Morris and Clog dancing.

Kids will enjoy Harvey Rush children’s entertainer, Punch & Judy and miniature train rides. Refreshment stalls

include Ice cream, bangers and burgers, speciality coffees, homemade cakes and tasty sandwiches, soft drinks, teas and coffees.

Parking is free all day on Berners Close Car Park and the Big Red Bus will provide free rides (each way) between Grange Station and the Festival – with stops in between – all day.

Investment Matters

By Jason Crane APFS CFPTM

‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ is a common saying, but in no other area does this resonate more than in Financial Planning. The key to successful Financial Planning is to ensure that you hold a diverse spread of asset types. Other than Cash and Property; two of the main asset types are Equities and Fixed Interest Securities, such as Corporate Bonds.

Equities/Shares; investing in shares means that you own a share of that company and therefore receive a share of the profits by way of dividend. Dividend income is often seen as a hedge against inflation; in theory, if revenue and costs rise with inflation, so will the profits. Consistent and rising dividends should mean a rise in the share price, ensuring investors benefit from both income and capital growth. Conversely, dividends are by no means guaranteed and the value of shares can fall as well as rise so investors may get back less than they invest.

Corporate Bonds are essentially loans to companies in return for a fixed rate of interest; the loan being repayable on a fixed date in the future. Before being repaid by the company, Corporate Bonds can be bought and sold on the stock market with the price very much determined by supply and demand, affected by interest rates, inflation and the financial strength of the company.

In terms of risk, this type of investment sits below shares as the company simply needs to have enough cash to service the debt, whereas shareholders require the company to make reasonable profits to pay a dividend.

Although this type of investment is considered lower risk than shares, they do have an element of risk as some companies will default; in addition to this, currently we are seeing high prices being paid for this type of asset so whilst it will provide a regular income it may produce a capital loss when the maturity date arrives, thus increasing the potential risk of what has traditionally been seen as a ‘steady away’ type investment.

County Matters

At a recent meeting of the County Council the Director of Public Health for Cumbria presented his Annual report. One of his main recommendations was to have a clear weight management pathway for children and young people. This should be developed with an emphasis on preventing overweight in early years and on supporting weight loss at primary school age.If you would like to look at the full report just log on to the Cumbria County Council

website/Public Health Annual Report.

At the Grange and Cartmel Wellbeing Group it was decided to circulate a leaflet with Grange Now to ask the wider community to inform the Group of your top 3 priorities that we need to concentrate on in the coming year. Please could you fill it in and return.

A lifeline for the Lido?

I am glad to tell you that the Grange-over-Sands Lido CIC is now incorporated at Companies House and that it can start work.

The ball is now in SLDC’s court, it needs to allocate money in the next few months to make the Lido safe and to carry out a simple refurbishment. The CIC will take over from there.

Coincidentally SLDC will also need to undertake some refurbishment of our Promenade over the next couple of years as well. The CIC will probably insist that the Promenade refurbishment should include

lighting along most or all of the Prom. It is very difficult to see how the new Lido will pay its way on the back of daylight activities alone.

The CIC will have to ensure that the new Lido will bring in sufficient money. A CIC is a not-for-profit organisation. But it is also a Company in the same sense as any other commercial Company. In other words it will have to produce plans which carry wide public support but which are also commercially viable.

This venture will need the ideas, time and effort of all of us who live in Grange. Early feedback shows strong interest in our current efforts. We all know

that we are probably in the Last Chance Saloon with the Lido.

Most of us who live in Grange, whether we have lived here all our lives or are “off-comers” have a great affection for our town. We want it to retain its distinctive character but we know that it must move with the times. This project offers probably the biggest single opportunity any of us will have to do that.

One final, sobering note. Many of you will look back sadly and even angrily at the failure of the Berners Pool. The CIC will learn from that sad episode and ensure that the plans we make now are sound and sustainable.

District Councillor, Eric Morrell

Up for Auction Expert advice on gold and silver coin collecting Historically, gold and silver coins were best known as pirate treasure - ‘pieces of eight’, buried treasure and ‘treasure trove’.

In today’s collecting and investment markets, the talk is all about gold and silver bullion coins. Gold coins range from UK half-sovereigns to £100 coins.

Some countries (USA, South Africa, Australia, Canada and UK) also mint one ounce pure gold coins.

These coins have very little intrinsic collecting value. Instead, their value arises largely from their bullion price - the face value of a £100 gold coin is £100, its

actual bullion price is currently £950.

Since the 1990s, British coins have also been produced for collectors in silver proof editions.

These coins have a higher collecting value than merely their bullion value.

The value of gold coins is always linked to the fluctuating bullion price, while silver coins will normally have a collecting value above their bullion price.

Volunteers turn scrubland into a beautiful oasis

Made in Allithwaite

Earlier this month the Friends of Kents Bank Station & Foreshore held a celebration event, sponsored by Northern, to thank community volunteers, sponsors and stakeholders for their support during the last two years.

It also marked the completion of the group’s latest project: researching the history of Kents Bank station, producing two station information boards and the installation of a Victorian style storage bench in platform 1 waiting room, funded

by The Cumberland Community Fund.

The celebratory lunch was tinged with sadness as they wished Jim Trotman, Community Rail Partnership (CRP) Officer, an enjoyable

retirement. He has provided the group with invaluable help and advice since it was formed in September 2015. They then welcomed, former Grange Now employee, Kerstin Esbjörnsson, as their new CRP Officer, and look forward to working with her in future.

The new Furness Line timetable comes into effect on 20th May.

There will be four direct trains each way, to and from, Manchester Airport throughout the day, and there is also an additional train to Barrow which arrives at 08.04 which will be more convenient for many workers there.

Over the weekend of Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th May, there will be a wide range of locally-made produce, arts and crafts available to buy at a ‘Made in Allithwaite Open House’ event. There will also be a delicious assortment of homemade cakes and refreshments.

Artisans taking part include: Angela Pollard, Complementary Therapist; Sonja Vietoris, artist; Fionn Jordan, Illustrator; Helen Bennett, from Light the Land lampshades; Fran Brown, Fused

Glass; Made by Michelle, useful handmade items plus work by other local craftspeople.

Everyone welcome between 10am and 3.30pm at Kirkhead View, The Square, Allithwaite.

Sport relief fundraiser gets a whole village running

Making a song and dance about Christian Aid

Fresh from not one but two Noda awards (Best pantomime and Best Youth Ensemble), the youngsters from Grange Youth Theatre will once again entertain the residents of Grange and district, this time in aid of those less fortunate.

On Friday 18th May, the youngsters will perform some of the songs from their award winning panto, Dick Whittington and his Cat. There will also be the opportunity for the youth of Grange to display

Save our Seats

Since its inception a little over a year ago, The Victoria Hall Support Group have come up with many successful fundraising ideas from bingo nights to a cinema - the recent showing of Paddington 2 was a sellout.

Their latest venture is the SOS Appeal - Save our Seats. The group told Grange Now, “The 64 seats on the balcony are worn out and have to be reupholstered. £120 per seat has been quoted by local firm, Wilson Robinson, for

a dazzling array of talent through solo performances in song, dance and readings.

If last year is anything to go by it will be an evening of extraordinary talent for all to enjoy and, of course, to raise funds for those much less fortunate than ourselves.

The concert will take place at the Methodist Church, Kents Bank Road, Grange on Friday 18th May from 7pm until 8.30pm. the work”. The group are hopeful that local businesses, individuals, a family or even a group of friends will get together to sponsor a seat.

A plaque stating the name of the sponsor will be mounted on each seat.Those who have already signed up include: Grange Now and local Heating Engineers TB Shepherd & Sons.

An amazing, inspirational and energetic fun run was held in the village of Allithwaite and Allithwaite CE Primary School, St Mary’s Church and Allithwaite Running Club worked together to raise money for two very worthy causes.

The younger children completed laps of the community playing fields, cheered on by parents and encouraged by their older peers. Years Three and Four children completed a jog around the village, using roads, fields and bridleways to complete a course of a mile and a half.

Year Five and Six children extended the course by running across the fell covering a distance of over two miles.

The children were led (or at times followed) by teachers, parents, running club members and the Vicar. Several other volunteers mapped out the course and marshalled, ensuring we didn’t get lost!

After crossing the finishing line to a roaring cheer, the

whole school were treated to well-deserved refreshments at church including an ice lolly!

Mrs Elliott, headteacher, commented: “This community event totally surpassed our expectations, and over £1000 has been raised. Most heart warming was witnessing the ways in which the children encouraged and supported one another throughout”.

Rev Rachel Stavert, Vicar, said, “This was a wonderful community event involving the School, Allithwaite Running Club and the Church. There was a real buzz around the village as the children ran.

FOOD & DRINK

Gourmet Grange We’re looking forward to the new season Spring Lamb – and hopefully by the time you read this, we will have some available in the shop! This year has not seen a particularly good lambing season in Cumbria; a shortage of grass caused by the bad weather has made it difficult to bring on lambs, which in turn has delayed the arrival of new season spring lamb at market. As Stuart knows all too well, farming is difficult at the best of times but this year’s conditions have proved tricky for farmers. Many will have noticed lamb prices increasing steadily across the board, which is a direct result of the strong market demand (particularly with Easter falling early this year) and tight supplies.

Here at Higginsons, we believe in trying to support our local farmers, so despite facing notable price increases on last year’s best hoggetts, we have chosen to absorb a large proportion of this increase to keep our retail prices lower.

The start of spring not only signifies the arrival of new season lamb but also speciality Herdwick lamb, of which we have a good source from the Langdales. If you’ve never tried it, now is the time! Is there much of a difference we hear you ask? Our answer would be a definite YES; whilst our local spring lamb is beautiful and mellow flavoured, the Herdwick lamb is succulent with a darker appearance and a more gamey flavour, having matured much slower out on the fells. Our eating recommendation: “A slow-

One-Pot Spicy Chorizo & Bean Stew This month, our recipe is inspired by two local authors, Megan Winter and Simon Fielding who have created a cookbook together. Cumbrians who now live in London, they love to leave the city for travels in their campervan. Being big foodies, they have compiled their favourite recipes from these travels. They joined us in the Low Sizergh Barn farm shop recently and cooked this tasty one-pot stew.

INGREDIENTS

4-5in (10-15cm) piece of Higginsons Chorizo, sliced ½ chopped onion

1 clove of garlic, crushed

1-2 potatoes or sweet potatoes, or butternut squash, peeled and cut into small chunks (optional) 400g chopped tomatoes

2 tablespoons tomato puree 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon fajita spice mix 1 teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)

400g Hodmedods beans Fresh crusty bread (to serve)

Spoonful of crème fraiche (to serve)

METHOD

1. In a large hot pan, fry the slices of chorizo until they start to release their oil. Add the onion and the garlic to the pan and stir to make sure they don’t catch. At this stage, if you wish, you can add potato, sweet potato or butternut squash to bulk the dish out a bit. If you’re short on time parboil the veg first.

2. Fry the mixture for 3-5 minutes until the onion (and the potato or squash) is turning brown.

3. Add the chopped tomatoes and tomato puree. Turn the heat down to a simmer. You might need to add some water to loosen the sauce - just half-fill the empty chopped tomato can and that should do it.

4. Add balsamic vinegar and the fajita spice mix to the pan. If you like it spicy, you can also add a tablespoon of chilli flakes. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes to bring out all the spices and flavours or until the potato is soft and breaks apart on a fork. Keep checking and stirring, adding more water if necessary to stop the mixture catching.

5. Add the beans, juices and all, and season to taste. Turn the heat back up and cook until it is hot. Serve in bowls with chunks of bread and some crème fraiche to cool down those spices.

Scatter over a few coriander leaves.

roasted shoulder of Herdwick hogget takes some beating!”

We will have a range of joints and cuts of both varieties available this month and pride ourselves on sourcing the best that the area has to offer.

Higginsons feature in Lakes Cookbook Higginsons Butchers features in The Lakes and Cumbria Cookbook which celebrates some of the region’s best independent restaurants, cafés, local suppliers and producers.

Set for release on 20th April,The Lakes and Cumbria Cookbook features over 30 recipes and strives to encapsulate the region’s vibrant food and drink scene.

Owner, Stuart Higginson said “The Lakes & Cumbria Cook Book gives a lovely flavour of some of our region’s finest produce and of course it’s nice for our customers to try cooking some of dishes that they’ve tasted in local restaurants. Our Cumberland Sausage recipe is a great family favourite and is it’s not difficult to cook.”

ART & MUSIC love of fun, vibrant prints with sportswear and Flamingo Designs was born.

Artist of the month Natasha Lomas aka the Pink Flamingo Twenty-five year old Natasha Lomas from Ravenstown is obsessed with pom poms and she’s putting her obsession to good use! Since graduating from Manchester School of Art in the summer of 2013, Natasha has set up her own label, Pink Flamingo Designs and her fun and unique designs are now popular not just here at home but abroad too.

Natasha told Grange Now, “I have always loved making things so this is my dream job.

I work from my kitchen table using my much loved sewing machine and overlocker and I make any idea which pops into my head. I aim to make garments which are fun to wear, make a style statement and which can easily fit into any wardrobe.

“One customer asked me to make her a matching set from Mickey Mouse material for a visit to Disney World and my outfits have proved to be very popular with Hen parties as you can see from the photo.

“I make everything from scratch so if there’s a particular design or material or colour - just ask.”

During the second year of her degree, Natasha studied sportswear and decided this was where her passion lay when it came to her designing outfits. For her degree catwalk show at the end of her course, Natasha decided to mix her

Natasha, who works from home, sells her designs through her own website, on ‘etsy’ and as we were going to press, Natasha told us that she has just been accepted to sell on AmazonHandmade!

If all of that doesn’t keep her busy enough she is also found doing the odd shift in Spar on Main Street, Grange.

The great news for the rest of us non-sewers is Natasha has decided to start giving sewing lessons. Please get in touch and let her know whether you’re interested in a group session or one-to-one.

Her unique shorts, available on their own or teamed with matching tops, are proving to be a real winner and Natasha took over the pop-up shop in Kendal last year. She told us, “The pop-up shop was a great thing to do because it not only gave me a taste of having my own shop but it increased my exposure and I also received four sessions with a business adviser who gave me invaluable advice. It was the business advisor who told me to set up my own website and gave me a lot of help with web design and layout etc. It was her idea to branch out more with my social media accounts to get more followers. She gave me so much advice on general things like taxes, book-keeping and accounts.”

The Hui brothers sweep the boards

Grange boys’ Edmund and Edwin are no strangers to the pages of Grange Now and once again they did themselves proud at the South Lakes Music Festival. Edwin won: The Liz Waller Cup; The Vera Wall Memorial Shield; The Harlyn Shield; The Julie Wills Bursary SCMF Cup for piano.

Edmund won: The Burnsmead Shield; Mabel Hargreaves Cup; The SW McIlroy Cup and he came second in the Gertrude H Leach Shield. He quite rightly said, “Success is less about luck, and more about practice”.

Play in a week Have you always wanted to act but been too worried about learning lines or committing yourself to a long rehearsal period?

Think you may have hidden talents for comedy or tragedy but no experience? Would like to see how a director, backstage expert or sound/lighting engineer puts together a show?

Grange Drama are offering the perfect opportunity with their experimental ‘A-Play-in-aWeek’. The award-winning, ‘Two’

by Lancashire Playwright, Jim Cartwright is the play and will be performed at the end of June. The play is divided into multiple cameo performances, can accommodate a flexible number of actors and more details can be found on the Grange Drama website. Professional Directors, Jayne Davies and Emma Rucastle will lead the Workshops on June 25th & 28th, which will culminate in the performance on 29th June in Victoria Hall.

Some of you may prefer to just watch the workshops and the performance and all of these will be open to family, friends and the public but we do need advance warning of numbers attending!

St Paul’s Some 50 people enjoyed the first lunchtime concert of our 2018 season on Wednesday 11th April.

Our Organist Charles Edmondson performed a mix of organ and piano music ranging from Bach and Mozart to Gershwin and Sousa. Charles

dedicated the concert to the memory of Robert Leach and Frances Limbery, loyal members of our congregation, who had died recently. Robert was particularly fond of Mozart’s music. The catering team rose to the challenge once again, ensuring everyone was replete before the concert started. The next concert of the season is on the

Grange Methodist

At the Women’s Network meeting on Tuesday, 13th of March, members enjoyed a ‘Musical Story’. Glenda told the story, and Elizabeth was the pianist. This was the last meeting before the AGM. The AGM was held on 27th March, and funds in hand were allotted to various local charities, including Macmillan Nursing care. As the church is expecting to unite with the URC members in Grange, the election of officers and future plans were held in abeyance.

One significant arrangement made was to plan an evening with Maurice Steele on May 2nd. His slide shows are unique and his knowledge of Cumbria is widely varied.

The background music and commentary is always most appropriate and these shows are not to be missed. Posters advertising this evening will be on display in Grange. Please come and enjoy a wonderful evening.

Joint services with the URC church on Maunday Thursday and Good Friday were contemplative. The service on Easter Day had the message if victory, for Christ is risen. A flower cross was carried into the church, and Rev Jo Rand depicted the empty tomb by the use of a cardboard Easter Egg, a service of Communion followed.

By Matron Did you know that Boarbank Nursing home provides respite care? Post-operative care, convalescent care, in fact, if you need a break with nursing care why not let us pamper you.

We will be starting a support group soon for those of us who have lost family members or friends. It can be a lonely time and grief can last for a very long time. There is no set path which grief takes and everyone deals with grief differently.

But a friendly ear or a chat with someone who is going through the same thing often helps. Your loved one doesn’t have to have died at Boarbank to attend these meetings, so if you fancy coming along for tea, cake and a friendly chat then watch this space for further news.

Just because a resident has died we don’t stop caring for their friends and relatives; they are, and will remain, part of the Boarbank family.

NATURE & GARDENING

The reserve in May

Holme Crag Garden Party

Intriguingly beautiful gardens which took over 30 years to nurture from rock and rugged land are open on Sunday, 20th May in Witherslack.

Featured in Tim Longville’s acclaimed Gardens of the Lake District, Holme Crag is opening its gates as a fundraiser for St. Paul’s Parish Church. A magnet for birds, wild animals and insects, this is where a lovely, untamed landscape meets decades of graft, and a passion for planting, to create a unique and beguiling spectacle. By late spring, pond-side astilbes and hostas may be pushing through, rhododendrons still flowering and Holme Crag’s

Candelabra primulas in their first ascent. Many of the plants and trees were established to encourage wildlife and the garden is noted for a rich variety of birds.

Please join us for cream teas, raffles, plant, cake, white elephant, selection of stalls and, of course, garden exploration.

Running from 2 to 5pm, entrance is £3, children free. Please follow parking guidelines.

MP gets his hands dirty

May is another one of my favourite months as we transit from spring into summer. This is also a great time to visit the top field as the flora starts to reveal itself with colours of pink, white and then as we move on in the season to a sea of yellow as buttercups and yellow rattle come into flower. At its peak it will become a mosaic of colours and scent on a warm day.

It’s also a great place to see butterflies and day flying moths such as, the Six spot burnet moth with its striking black wings and red spots in June. For May we can see the Dingy skipper, a little butterfly that can be seen lazily bobbing about and also in contrast, the fast flying Silver “Y” moth. It is also a good time for seeing the whites and on a good day even the common blue.

We are currently looking for someone to help with butterfly transects. This will consist of a weekly walk on a set route around the reserve counting and recording butterflies seen. A great excuse for visiting and encountering other wildlife too. Full training will be

given, so if you are interested please get in touch. Highlights from March and April include a flock of 40= Hawfinch on the reserve in early March, only to be followed by another flock of over 70 a few weeks later. Chiffchaff and Blackcap where a little late due to the poor weather but are arriving in numbers as I write this.

Occasional visits from Peregrines, Sparrow hawks and even a possible Goshawk in mid April.

Even though we have had a hard winter compared to some, there will still be ticks around so please check yourselves after a visit. The cattle will be on the reserve now, so please, if you are walking your dog please keep it on the lead and enjoy the reserve.

Thank you, Tony, Hon res manager

The rust is history We attended a property recently where the customer had asked us to clean all of the carpets in their home with the exception of the dining room; the reason they explained, was because of rust stains from metal table legs that a previous cleaning company had been unable to remove and they intended to replace that carpet. We asked the customer to let us try our process on it on a ‘no win no fee’ basis which they agreed to do.

The results can be seen in the photos and as you might expect, the customer was delighted as it had saved them nearly £1,000 in replacement costs.

So if you have a carpet that you think can’t be ‘revived’ and are thinking of replacing it, give us a call first to see what we can do.

It could be a call that saves you ££££s We are a local, independent specialist carpet cleaning company.

Utilising 21st century cleaning processes allied with state of the art equipment, we deliver exceptional results with carpets usually dry within 30 minutes of cleaning. We believe that our carpet cleaning system is probably the best currently available.

Porridge will render slugs sluggish!

This month is the first month of summer. It may be warm and dry or it may be wet or it may be frosty-it’s May.

May is an exciting month, there are two bank holidays, Cinco de Mayo, Europe day, World Laughter day and National Finnish Identity Day (?) Every day is a national holiday somewhere. Basically it’s a month long party the world over including down on the allotment.

You can begin planting out in earnest this month;

Cross over a stone stile, walk downhill, through a gate, across a lane and through another gate, to a path (signposted Hawkshead Hall B5286). Follow this back to Hawkshead. Cross the main road and pass the Red Lion Inn. Go to an archway (advertising the Minstrels Gallery Tea Room) onto Vicarage Lane.

10. After 200 yards turn right through an iron gate into a field (signposted Tarn Hows). through Thompson Ground to meet the Hawkshead to Coniston Road. Turn left uphill back to the car park

start with the tougher cookies at the start of the month: brassicas, leeks and peas, leave the less hardy climbing beans and courgettes until later on but be ready to throw a bit of fleece over these if frost is forecast.

As with any party there might be gatecrashers. In damp weather the slugs and snails will be out in numbers; do everything you can to protect your young seedlings when they are at their most vulnerable. Organic slug pellets, sheep’s wool, grit, sand, copper tape, coffee grounds and slug pubs all help. Apparently porridge oats also work well by swelling up inside them to the point where they die or rendered, well, sluggish enough to be easily picked off in the early hours by those birds who appreciate their gastropods stuffed!

Make sure your seedlings

don’t go thirsty in any dry periods and continue to sow salads and radishes.

Weeds will be popping up so keep a close eye on them and hoe them down.

Your broad beans should be progressing nicely and you might observe an interesting bit of insect behaviour taking place on them. Aphids tend to attack the growing tips and are weirdly ‘shepherded’ and ‘milked’ by ants (they stroke the aphids backs to get them to release a sweet fluid), who can carry the aphids on to previously unaffected plants. This behaviour can be reduced by pinching out the tips and applying a bit of soapy water to any herds you notice.

Don’t forget to enjoy yourself as well - get out when it’s sunny and enjoy the apple and pear blossoms. The summer is a marathon and not a sprint.

Cubs Silver Awards

High praise for Grange CE School All aspects of school life were inspected by the H.M.I. lead inspector who visited the school in the spring term. She confirmed the school’s view that Grange CE continues to be a good school where children enjoy learning and are kept very safe.

The inspector praised many areas including our excellent and forward thinking staff and our outstanding governing body that helped us to achieve this good report. The strong links with the local community and overseas were also highlighted.

“Pupils enjoy coming to school and say that learning is fun. This is because you and your staff have planned an interesting and engaging curriculum. Pupils relish the many visits and trips that you plan and enjoy afterschool clubs, such as judo and gymnastics.”

Mayor, Cllr. Peter Endsor and wife, Linda, enjoyed a great night cubs presenting bronze and silver awards to cubs. The Mayor told Grange Now, “What a fantastic group of well behaved Children. A real credit to the hard work of the Akela and the volunteers”.

“Leaders place a high priority on staff development” the inspector commented. “You have enabled teachers to work collaboratively and learn from other schools and

The way children are kept safe was also mentioned: “Leaders have made sure that safeguarding arrangements are thorough and of high quality. Safeguarding takes a very high priority across

the school. “ E. Stevens HMI Ofsted 7th March 2018 We are delighted with the report and extremely proud of all the children whose enthusiasm makes teaching and educating them for the future such a privilege.

You can find a copy of our report on our website: www. grange.cumbria.sch.uk

Lindale Primary and Pre-School Nursery We started off the new term with an Arts week.

A highlight was working with felt maker Julie Harrison to design and create 2 wall hangings which depicted our beautiful surroundings. They also worked on developing their drawing and painting skills and working in mixed age groups where the older children taught skills to the younger ones. Thank you to Cartmel Old Grammar School fund which supported this event.

They joined hundreds of other girls at Sparkle and Ice, a weekend event held at Girlguiding’s activity centre Waddow Hall near Clitheroe.

Former Grange Now deliverer, Ellie Douglas was one of the young women taking part.

After pitching their tents, the group had great fun with activities which ranged from roller skating to crate stacking.

And at night they had the choice of ditching their welly boots for dancing shoes to enjoy the onsite disco or having a hot chocolate whilst stargazing before layering up to endure plunging temperatures to take on the challenge of winter camping. The event was supported by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.

This term we have been fortunate to be a winner in Orian’s ‘Win a Wheelbarrow’ competition. Headteacher Mrs Summers, our cook Mrs Illingworth and some keen gardeners receiving a wheelbarrow and cheque from Orian on the first day of the summer term, ready for using in our school garden.

We won through to the South Lakes hockey competition and start the cluster events off this week with Tri-golf.

Year 5 & 6 and 3 & 4 started their new topic of ‘Extreme earth’ with a visit from a geologist who showed the children his rock and fossil collection and exploding volcano models. Years 1 and 2 have enjoyed a visit to Sizergh Barn and the ‘Growing well’ project as part of their Science work on plants and living things.

Friends of Lindale, our school PTA have arranged several events for this term to raise funds for school. These include a bingo night, a table top sale and summer barbeque.

Lindale Pre-school Nursery have also had a busy start to the term with a fantastic visit to Old Hall Farm Bouth. This led to lots of excitement playing farms, animal number rhymes and looking at animal stories.

SCHOOL REPORT

Flookburgh Primary

Just before the Easter Holiday, we had two exciting events at school! Firstly, the children in Class 4 were visited by a team of engineers from BAE Systems for a robotics workshop. They were shown how to build Lego robots for a number of tasks. These included curling, bowling and the Top Gear challenge which entailed getting the robot to go around a circuit. To place the day’s activities into context, the team from BAE gave the class a presentation about the real world engineering challenges they have been involved with.

Secondly, our KS1 team represented us at Key Steps Gymnastics Competition in Penrith. We finished 6th out

Our School Value this past term has been Hope and we achieved so many wonderful things during its focus.

We are already embracing our new learning theme, ‘Out and About’! Everyone is involved in the planting up of our own new school allotments.

Thank you Allithwaite Runners!

We all came to school in our onesies or pyjamas on the 28th March for ‘Onesie Wednesday’ raising awareness and understanding of Autism.

We neared the end of our term on a sunny afternoon working in our mixed aged house teams. We travelled around the inside of school, our reflection garden and St Mary’s Church to engage with a wide range of reflection activities. From lying in an outdoor-makeshift shelter and considering the life of a homeless person to writing down a question for

God. Having a quiet moment watching the patterns in the bubble lamp or tying a ribbon to the hope tree, thinking of protecting nature and the natural environment. And many more thought provoking activities in between. A fulfilling and calming end to our celebration of Hope. The grand finale of the Spring Term was the superb Easter Service with children speaking, dancing, playing a vast variety of musical instruments, singing and show casing art work. And of course – no Spring term would be complete without the egg rolling and decorating competitions.

Cartmel Primary

Sport Relief with a sponsored walk and other fundraisers— an amazing total.

Cartmel CE Primary School is back for a new term and ready to enjoy the Cumbrian summer!

With our garden area refurbished and a new greenhouse just installed, children will be getting outside to enjoy any sunshine and grow their own vegetables and herbs. We will have the expert support of the team from L’Enclume in Cartmel, who are leading our Squash Farm project—so perhaps

we’ll persuade them to cook us something after we’ve finished digging and picking!

There are lots more outdoor activities to look forward to this term, including a cricket club, football competition and tennis tuition. Just before Easter our sporty children raised more than £500 for

The busy end to the Spring Term saw us celebrate Easter in Cartmel’s magnificent Priory, focusing on our Term’s theme of ‘Justice’. Children produced some colourful and intricate Easter Hats for a school parade, with winners judged by Dr Williams from Cartmel Priory School. We were also lucky enough to get a visit from BAE to give older children a workshop about robotics and the chance to experiment with some ingenious machines.

Thankyou to everyone else who has supported our events so far.

We will be holding an Open Morning at The Pavilion on Bank Holiday Monday 7th May from 1012am for anyone who used to come to Grange Preschool - do drop in to see us and sign our special memory book.

The emphasis is on enjoyment, learning new skills and exercising the mind in the company of a friendly group. Unlike in the traditional Chinese game there is no gambling! The group meets twice a month on Tuesday evenings in Grange Institute.

If you have not met it before mahjong can be rather daunting but it does have some similarities with rummy as it involves collecting sets and “going out”. It is played using tiles with Chinese symbols. The object of the game is to be the first to go ‘mahjong’ by using all your tiles to score.

Getting used to the designs on the tiles is the first hurdle to overcome. Once you have the hang of this most players will be looking to make “Pungs”, “Chows” and “Kongs”, i.e, three of the same tile, runs of three tiles and four of the same tile. As with all games

In Memory of Granny Ruell

chance plays a part, but mahjong offers lots of opportunity to learn and exercise skill. In order to score well a player needs to improve their knowledge of the special hands in order to make much higher scores than can be achieved with pungs, chows and kongs. These special hands have a wonderful collection of names some of them evocative of China. Just a few examples are ‘windy chows’, ‘moon at the bottom of the well’ and ‘imperial jade’. Our picture shows a ‘wriggly dragon’, but the presence of three two bamboo tiles shows that this was achieved after a “goulash”, the wall being exhausted of tiles before a ‘mahjong’ is reached. If that happens you start again with a new wall but the two bamboos can be used as jokers.

More details of U3A’s many activities and groups can be found on the Grange and District U3A website at www.u3asites. org.uk/grange, at Grange Library and on posters around the town.

When Granny Ruell, mother of Dr Ruell (Peninsula Medical Practice) passed away on 18th April, her two grandsons, David and Oliver Gent decided they wanted to do something in her memory.

Dorothy had suffered from memory problems over the past ten years and David and Oliver have decided to take part in the Great North Swim on the 9th of June to remember her and to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society.

Dorothy married Tom when she was 21.

Both from large farming families based on the Welsh borders, they went on to have four children, nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

In anticipation of Duncan’s visit members had been collecting postcards and a box of them was handed over. Duncan explained how collectors around the world look on e-bay and other internet sites for a variety of postcards and their sale gives the charity much needed funds.

History

Ian Gee, a Director and Trustee of the Lakes Flying Company, gave an absorbing and fascinating Talk to a large audience about “Aviation on Windermere 1909-1919”, describing how Edward Wakefield pioneered flight from water on Windermere.

Wakefield built hangars at Bowness and used boat engineers from Barrow to adapt an Avro plane as a seaplane. Despite widespread ridicule “Waterbird” made the first successful flight from water 25th November 1911 from the Lake. The pilot sat at the front with the engine and propellers at the rear. The float was stepped, (a crucial adaptation) and the outriggers made from bamboo.

Wakefield recognised early on the military advantages of seaplanes for scouting purposes as land- based aircraft at the time did not have the range to reach enemy lines. During World War I Windermere was an important centre for training Naval Pilots and the first seaplanes were used 25th December 1914 against Zeppelin bases in Germany.

A replica of the “Waterbird” is currently being built and approaching “air worthiness”.

Next meeting 7th June 7.30 pm at Cartmel Village Hall with a Talk by Professor Peter Roebuck on “Cattle droving through Cumbria 1600-1900. NB No May Meeting.

Grange Garden Society

At the March meeting members heard from Dr. Trevor Pierce, how, in the Victorian era, Natural History, from being merely a pastime, developed to become a recognized science.

We learnt from his interesting and amusing talk that “Naturalists” were enthusiastic collectors of natural objects ; live animals (including birds eggs and butterflies,) and plants.

Dr. Pierce brought along several books from his collection as examples of the many that were published to cater for this growing interest. Also various art forms such as shelldecoration and taxidermy became popular as a means of displaying objects as they were accumulated.

Inevitably increased collection from nature resulted in the extinction of several species.

However as Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and the advanced study of botany and zoology brought about a greater understanding of the natural world,”Naturalists” became more enlightened and the foundations of the sciences of ecology and conservation familiar to us today were laid.

The next meeting of the Society will be on Friday 18th May at 7.30pm in the URC Hall, Kent’s Bank Road. Our speaker, Peter Foley , will give an illustrated talk entitled “The Transformation of Our Garden.”

Cartmel and District Flower Club

New members are always welcome, please contact Dianne on 015395 32319 for further information.

Grange Probus Club

Grange Probus Club held its AGM at the Netherwood Hotel and members heard how the club was continuing to flourish, particularly due to its decision 2 years ago to admit lady members. Canon Derek Jackson was appointed as Chairman. The club’s April meeting welcomed John Walker, who talked about “North West Blood Bikes Lancs & Lakes”.

He explained how the voluntary scheme had originated in 1962 to transport blood supplies between blood banks and hospitals. The local service had been established in 2012 and carried out vital voluntary work in support of the NHS, with up to 1,200 call-outs per month.

Some bikes had been provided by bodies such as the Freemasons but riders also used their own machines. The club’s next event will be at the Netherwood Hotel on Monday, May 14th at 11am, when Richard Trevitt will talk about “The Past, Present and Future of the Lancaster Canal”. Grange Probus welcomes retired men and women as new members and meets on the second Monday of each month at the Netherwood Hotel for interesting talks on a wide range of topics.

Allithwaite Running Club

With the much awaited lighter evenings, we’re enjoying getting out onto our wonderful trails.

It’s been a long, cold winter, but head torches helped more people keep running over the darker months and we’re now fitter and ready for a good season ahead. A number of the club braved the ‘Beast from the East’ whilst running (and marshalling) the Cartmel Trail Race in March, with some good results. Gill and Sally successfully ran the Coniston 14 race as they build up the miles and more challenges. More recently, Fran and Laura enjoyed the Lakeland Trails at Hawkshead, and John kicked off the fell running season at Loughrigg.

We particularly enjoyed helping Allithwaite Primary School’s fun run (see full article in paper). Our plans for a junior section are progressing, so we’d love to see some of the young people join us in the future – watch this space.

In the next few weeks we’ll be running more off road and are we’ll be doing some more runs further afield, taking advantage of the longer evenings and enjoying the Spring. We welcome new members – please email the club: allithwaiterunningclub@ gmail.com to find out where we’re meeting www. allithwaiterunningclub.

We had lots of special meals for St. Patrick’s Day, Mother’s Day and Easter Sunday.

We filled The Old Vicarage with flowers arrangements which had been prepared by the residents for Mother’s Day We invited several classes from Allithwaite Primary to an Easter Egg hunt in The Old Vicarage gardens. The residents loved seeing them run around and the pupils gave us a little concert – they always sing beautifully.

We have started monthly Sunday Movie afternoons and of course, we also indulged in popcorn and chocolates!

Dear Editor, In reply to Norman Green’s letter regarding the opening of the new Tesco store, yes, the Mayor, Councillor Peter Endsor, was honoured to be invited, just as he is also honoured to perform all his civic duties with impartiality.

In one week at Easter, he presented prizes to Cartmel Cubs, opened the new Emma’s Café on the Prom, judged the children’s Easter art at Higginson’s Butchers, attended Michael’s 50 years anniversary

at Proctor’s Butchers, attended the Bay Search and Rescue Easter event and the Operatic Society at the Victoria Hall, all of which are local businesses/ societies.

All this, in one week, in his own time, with no thought of “free publicity”, which is not what his civic duty is about. Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn as to where you shop, as you said, it’s your choice, but please don’t bring Peter’s name into your criticism of Tesco.

Linda Endsor, Grange

Dear Editor,

Councillor Morell retired from such position in January 2017.

Amongst the several election publications distributed in the Grange Ward before the May elections are two from the Liberal Democrats which proudly boast that Councillor Eric Morrell serves on the Committee of the Grange Institute. This is incorrect as Dear Editor,

Grange residents will by now be aware that Cumbria Library Services have ceased to fund newspapers and magazines in libraries. This has meant a visible fall in the number of residents sitting reading, taking refreshments and generally socialising in Grange Library throughout the day. My anger at finding that donations of newspapers was not permissible beggared belief.

Grange Town Council, when approached, was willing to help with funding, as was the Chamber of Trade. Knowing the Town they would be two of many on a list. A discussion with CLL Bill Wearing on Monday 16th April brought about a promise to raise it with Cumbria Dear Editor, This email was sent to George Parr, Victoria Hall Support Group Thank you for your email allowing us to know how much the Grange audience enjoyed ‘The Mikado’. We felt it on stage. We heard the laughter bubbling and it was uplifting for us. Audience numbers have been tailing off in Kendal and we felt we needed to take G&S out somewhere else. Well we couldn’t have chosen better!

Victoria Hall is marvellous, a real theatre unlike the stage at Kendal Town Hall. So it was a

It must be stressed that the Institute neither favours nor supports any one political party as against another; it is totally and completely apolitical and only for the social benefits of all, irrespective of political views.

John G. Blake – Institute Trustee Council library service the next day. Tuesday Grange library became part of the pilot scheme for donations of newspapers.

Wednesday saw the Library Service giving the go ahead to organise donated newspapers and the information that a local person was already donating a daily newspaper. Well done to them.

A particular thanks to Bill Wearing for his quick response.

Yes funding by donations may be abhorrent to many of us but remember historically the source of funding for newspapers and other media came about from charitable sources.

If locals wish to donate funding for a regular supply of newspapers please sign up in the library or the TIC. Kate Gaskin, Grange

privilege to perform there and the helpers from your community were so welcoming and helpful in their sheer numbers as of course is Sally Haines and Bob who did the lighting for us. We will certainly consider returning next Spring.

I am surprised and saddened by the nub of your email, that Grange is being denied funding from SLDC for Victoria Hall. It’s a gem!

Best wishes, Catharine Perrin, Chairman Kendal and District Gilbert and Sullivan Society

Property Talk With

Brad Pearce Valuer

FRIENDLY HONEST PROPERTY ADVICE

Providing Sales Security A recent report by Quick Move Now has highlighted the rising trend in the amount of sales that are falling through across the country, with current levels the highest they have been for over a decade. The first quarter of the year has seen a national average percentage of 38.8% of all property sales within this period of time falling through.

Locally this is something that we are experiencing on a daily basis, not with our own sales but often sales within Chains that we have less control over. This often happens when buyers and sellers choose national / call centre operations to either sell their property or to act for them legally, perhaps saving a few pounds but buying a whole lot of stress and hassle!

The majority of these sales falling through are attributed to the time that the sales process takes from sale agreed to exchange and completion. In some cases, the lack of communication between buyers, sellers, agents and conveyancers leads to unnecessary delays. A more successful approach is making sure that your agents and conveyancers have an impressive, efficient and high quality working relationship.

Poole Townsend offer sales packages that include the legal conveyancing on your property sale. Being both estate agents and solicitors means that we are stringently regulated whist working to our own high standards of customer service.

As a result, over the same first quarter period this year, we have seen a fall through rate that is nearly a third of the national average. Only 13.4% of all sales agreed by Poole Townsend have fallen through with our aim to keep these level as low as possible and even reduce them some more.

With the obvious benefits of utilising our ‘all under one roof’ service we are also very excited to announce that due to some recent changes within the company we are now also able to act on more property purchases as well. With this improvement in the service that we provide to our clients we are able to improve the communication between buyers and sellers and their solicitors ensuring that the number of sales getting to exchange and completion continue to rise.

Some agents may claim that they can provide you a service for a cheaper fee, however this more than often does not include the legal conveyancing. Can you really put a price on the security provided knowing your agents are completing sales at a more successful rate than their competitors?

To discuss the benefits of our all-inclusive No Sale – No Fee sales packages why not contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales negotiators to learn more.
