THE LEIGHTON OPEN GARDENS TRAIL

The Open Gardens Trail held on Saturday 6th June to raise funds for the running of Holy Trinity Church was a great success despite the strong winds and the catering tent trying to emulate a kite.

Thanks go particularly to all those brave folk who kindly opened their glorious gardens for critical inspection! The event also could not have taken place had it not been for Elisabeth’s wonderful organisation and our thanks go to her, her family and her hardy band of helpers, the Landgrebe family for the loan of the tables and chairs and the efficient tent erectors.

Thanks for all the wonderful cakes that were provided and served in the tea tent for all the plants and super plant stall, and to everyone who attended and supported the event. It was a very special afternoon and the sun shone on us all.

All Change at The

Leighton News

This edition of The Leighton News, the last before our

Summer break, will also be the last one prepared by the

editorial partnership of Jenny Sanders and Allan Smith.

Following our appeal in last month’s edition,

we have been very lucky to secure the services of a new

editor, who will produce his first issue in September.

David Holloway, who lives with his wife Pat at

Welsh Harp on the Long Mountain road, comes from a

background in education and business, and is keen to carry

The Leighton News into a new period. We are sure he will

develop the same close relationship with our readers,

sponsors, advertisers and donors that we have been

fortunate to enjoy. David will also take responsibility for

coordinating the distribution of the Leighton News through the well established network set up

by Gordon and Sylvia Helliwell over the past fifteen years.

Copy for the September edition and for all subsequent issues should be sent to David,

who can be contacted on:

01938 570675

e-mail: [email protected]

The outgoing team of Jenny, Allan, Sylvia and Gordon would like to thank everyone in

Leighton for their co-operation and support, and wish David well in his new venture.

Your donations are also important to the future of The Leighton

News.

This month we are very grateful to Doreen Oliver,

Bernard Oliver and John Roberts for their kind donations

to our funds.

Thank you!

charity next year.

Nearly 4000 gardens open every year in England and Wales to raise money for charities including Marie Curie

Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Support. NGS welcomes new gardens to broaden our appeal, especially

gardens with a good level of plant interest.

opening next year. I look forward to hearing from you.

VILLAGE GOSSIP

Congratulations on the birth of their son Oliver go to Gemma and Dan Bow-

en, making Janet and Mike Williams grandparents once again. We are also

celebrating the safe arrival of Sebastian, first child of Jenny and Chris at

Church Lodge. Welcome to both babies.

Another cause of celebration in the Oliver family is the christening in Leighton Church of little Rosie, baby

daughter of Rachel and Will Jones and youngest granddaughter of Marilyn and Johnnie Oliver. Also well

done to Rosie's 6yr old sister Chloe who recently won Silver in a Gymnastics competition, following in the

forever supple footsteps of her Grandmother Mal whose international gymnastic achievements are many

and whose coaching will no doubt ensure future medals of many colours!

Thank you to Martin Dyson for restoring the Church noticeboard and also the WI seat.

Elystan Class Leighton C.P School

This term in Elystan class the children have been studying the Romans and the Celts. They have, in particular, been researching the different foods they ate, and traced where they were grown/imported from. The children wrote menus using their research and are now planning a Celt/Roman festival, where they are writing invites, choosing a venue, making a guest list and planning transport - Roman style!. They are using books and the internet to help with their research, and have

already 'tried and tested' making honey cakes for homework (which were delicious!).

We now have a wonderful

display on our walls of our

home made shields,

menus, and photographs

of us dressed as Roman

soldiers (see above). We

are now looking forward

to our visit to

Groundworks in Wrexham

to see how the Celts lived!

LEIGHTON

VILLAGE HALL

AGM

The recent AGM was well attended with 14

people present. Wine and good humour

flowed (there may have been a connection

between those two) and a wide range of plans and improvements were discussed. The Chairman,

David Williams, thanked everyone for another successful year and reminded us of all of the projects

completed over the last 12 months, some funded by the Entrust grant

financed by Potters Recycling whose continued support was

acknowledged. David also thanked the Officers, Caretaker and

Committee for each playing a part in this success.

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE elected:- CHAIR: David Williams, VICE

CHAIR: John Markwick, SECRETARY: Jane Walton. TREASURER: Tony

Garrett stated that he wished not to stand for re-election as he and

Sarah are planning to move away, but offered to continue until a new

Treasurer could be found. Tony was thanked for the great amount of

work he has done for LVH over his term of office. Therefore a new

TREASURER is needed and anyone interested in joining this committed

and enterprising group of 16 members, to ensure the smooth running of this vital part of village and

school life, then please either contact LVH (see below) or speak to David

Williams.

Thanks were also expressed to Sylvia Helliwell who has retired after many years of dedicated support, to Ruth Bridge for auditing the accounts, and to Ann Markwick for her expertise. Tony and Sarah Garrett were also thanked for all the work they are doing for the 30th Anniversary celebrations.

FUTURE PLANS....... Plans are being drawn up to upgrade the toilets to

the highest standard LVH can afford and also to repair the main floor this summer. Outstanding

maintenance including decorating the exterior of the hall is to be done and it was also agreed to

purchase more outside furniture and new entrance signs continue to be researched along with road

signs.

30th ANNIVERSAY...... Exciting announcements in detail will be in the September Newsletter.

NEXT MEETING: Wednesday 15th July 2015 at 8pm LVH.

SIT UP AT THE BACK THERE! HAVE YOU BEEN PAYING ATTENTION?

LEIGHTON NEWS END OF TERM EXAM As two ex-Headteachers bow out of producing the Leighton News, we thought we would revert to type and see

how much of what the newsletter has contained over the past year has lodged in the brains of our readers (it’s

hard to break the habits of a lifetime). A scholarship prize of a £10 book token will be awarded to the person with

the highest score. In the event of a tie, the winner will be drawn from a mortarboard. Detentions and chores may

be imposed on those with exceptionally low scores, and the naughty chair is ready. Handwriting, spelling and

good manners will be taken into account. The judges’ decision is final, and cheeky comments will be severely

punished. Now, are your pencils sharpened? Stop picking your nose, that boy in the third row!

George……..don’t do that!

And finally……..it’s goodbye from me, goodbye from him and

goodbye from them!

After a number of years working on “The Leighton News” Allan, Sylvia, Gordon and I are

passing on the baton, which in our case comprises of computers, templates, lists of

distributors (and the numbers of households they distribute to) and the inevitable green

plastic bags!

We have enjoyed our time working for the village in this way and so we will

part with some sorrow but also with some pleasure! New blood brings new

ideas and new ways of working.

As well as connecting villagers by reporting those special moments -such as

births, marriages, notable birthdays and the inevitable deaths - it is the

vehicle through which events such as Coffee Mornings, Shows,

Pantomimes and, more recently, the Pop-up Pubs are advertised. It provides

a schedule of Church Services and rotas and news of events in neighbouring villages. None

of this would be possible without those of you who forward information to us. For this

support we have been extremely grateful and wish to make our gratitude public! Please

carry on the good work you do for us all in Leighton!

To those who are carrying on their roles, Tanya Allison, our very capable treasurer, Dave

McCourt, who archives all our editions of the newsletter on the village website, the school,

which arranges for copies to be available to interested parents, and to the loyal distributors,

who ensure that your copy arrives through your letterbox, we give you our thanks and wish

you every success in the future.

And now it’s over to David Holloway. Good Luck to you all!
