l EI>ITORIAL l Three months have quickly rassed since the last ma.gazi.ne but here goes with another

in much the same mould. The Diary is not being used by as many people as I had hoped -

think about it organisers ,.,hen you are getting the ideas across to your Committees.

There is one important change in the Nettleham Directory. The Meals on 1tlheels

Service is nmot being- run by Nrs Sad.ler, telephone Nn. 77145� , ,., :1_.i<=>n nf Jl'h--A Morris.

�nfires seem to be a source of heat between neighbours - if you want one think

where the smoke will go BEFORE you light it and that the vTashing next door won't change

colour! The Best Ke:pt Village Competition is about to start, Nettleham being judged first

time round in June. \·le have won it twice, can vTe make it the third time?

Hay 1984.

I pARISH COUNCIL ·I

G.F. Clarke Eaitor.

Re-elected to office as Chairman of Nettleham ?arish Council for the eleventh year in succession (with Coun. John Hill as his Deputy) Councillor Alf Frith left trc Annual Meeting of Nettleh?Jn Parish Council held at the S�orts Pavi1ion on 3rd ��y, to go along to Church Room \>rhere the counting of votes viaS in progress, following the ':lest Lindsey District Council elections, held earlier that day. �bere, Councillor Frith, Parish Co�ncillor for 20 years, found he'd yet another seat to occupy; one to represent Nettleham on the District Council for the next four years. Voting figures were as follovTs:-

Alf Frith 932 Mrs Ani ta \Hlkinson 683 Turnout of residents to the poll, totalled 539�.

l'Tartin Pratt 56

For the past year, Mrs Ani ta l'iilkinson had held this seat on W .L.D.C. Nany thanks go to Anita for her work on residents' behalf, during this time. Hel� ·d th :problems, and advice needed, can be sought from:-

I comment I It is novT oui te some time since we \•rere made a\·rare of the ch2.nges the.t could take

pla.ce with regard to our milk supply. The gra.dual build-u:D of milk for. sale in Super-I•iarkets ha.s nm1 come about, and I

feel that we should be very conscious of this being a serious threat to our daily milk deliveries. 'vie should never under estimate the value of th:i s service.

Nothing can be gained from its termination and the only '1Tay \ve can help is to patronize it.

Just imagine the difficulties if this service was ended tomorrow, es:pecially for the elderly.

1-'Ia.ry Bassett.

May All half hardy annual seedlings should be hardened off by standing them outside ready for planting out towards the end of the month, should frost threaten cover with old newspapers.

Plant out Dahlia tubers now, cuttings taken and rooted earlier are best left until all danger of frost is past.

Set out Gladioli corms at fortnightly intervals to ensure a continuous show of bloomsL Fushia cuttings and early flowering Chrysanthemums can also be planted out where they­

are required to flower. As Polyanthus finish flm'lering to obtain a good su:::--�1ly of p1 ants for next Spring lift

and divide, replA-nt in a shady part of the garden, regular spraying vTi th an insect­icide keeps off A:9hi d� '·rhi rh hP.ve a 1 i.king for these plents.

Thin out excess shoots on Delphiniums, Lupins etc. staking and tying up those left to minimise wind damage.

���e up Hanging Baskets. Fertilizer pellets are now obtainable if placed in the compost prior to planting will ensure R. sl 0111 release of nutrients over a long period.

� All bedding out should be finished this month. Remnve any dead flowers from gra....Ting plants to ensure a continious shovT of bloom. Sow seeds of \</allflm�Ter, Pansies, Auberetia, Sweet 1.-Jilliams, and Polyanthus to obtain

strong plants ready for planting out in Autumn.

July Disbud Dahlias, Chrysanthemums leaving only the centre buds on each stem. Geranium cuttings taken noH vTill root 1ui te easily in the open garden and vlill make

nice plants vThen lifted and potted in September.

SHRUBS Ros� Now require spraying and feeding at least once a month during the Summer.

A ne\'T Rose treatment is nm11 on the market called "MULTIROSE" The one that does it all. Blackspot preventer, Caterpillar destroyer, Greenfly eradicator, NildevT Killer, plus Foliar Feed. Cut a'-ITay any suckers and weeds around. trees. Cut back all Shrubs if they require pruning as they finish flm11ering i.e. Brooms, Winter Jasmine, mock organe Fosythia and Snowball tree. - remember that ornamental Cherries ·must be pruned only if they require attention in July to prevent Sliver Leaf. After cutting, seal all cuts ivi th sealing compound (ARBREX) .

Because Iaburnums Seeds are poisonous, remove the dead flowers clusters as soon as possible after flovJering. Laburnums lea_ves are also poisonous, so never plant a tree too near a pool in case leaves blow in and kill the f�sh.

July Propaga. tion Layer \·listeria Shoots in sandy loam, also the follo'-lring cuttings can be taken for the cold frame; Buddleia Alternifolia, Cistus, Clematis, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Escallonia, Buonymus, JI'Iallonia� Spiraea, Viburnum.

Rhododendrons, Azalias, Camellias. Require feeding and building up over the next 3/4 months. If the shrubs go short of root moisture, the formation of flm11er buds 'vill be severely curtailed. It is helpful tn TTllll.r.h onr special shrubs and Floses during the hopefully vrarm il!eather ahead, when we may be away on holidays and uila,ble to water. Peat, Farmyard manure, or any kind of humus vrill help retain root moisture. But bevmre of Grass cuttings. If these are put around shrubs thick, they form a mat and this doesn't allow any liquid feed or rain water to penetrate. Never mulch with Grass cuttings that have been treated ivi th a selective weed killer.

lA\{ A Water - What's in it for us'? I For two years the Anglia Water Authority has been under fire from Nettleham Parish

Council for the quality of its water supplied to parts of the village, especially those uphill on the Mount Pleasant estate, Mill Hill. Poor pressure has for a long time been •

no respecter of households, and those worst affected are often those vlho receive the biggest A W A rates demands for their supply -without any hope of rebate. Parish Councillors tell of their own experiences: of trying to persuade the tiresome brew out of their own:taps -especially upstairs -and have made vigorous representations to A W A, who recently sent Mr P�ter Flood to address them. Councillors' complaints made on behalf of residents, inclu4ed iron stains in the weekly wash, mouths affected by concentrations of chlorine, narrovl escape.S from scalding under shov1ers, as the pressure varies; boilers overheating, heavy sediment in drinking water and consequent taste and odour; burst or leaking mains, and poor pressure, especially during holidays at week­ends, in dry spells when everyone is using it for everything down to garden hoses and sprinklers.

All this was strongly critized by councillors who insisted that at least p�essure should certainly be adequate to reach to the top of a two-storey building. Asked who puts Nettleham's case in future, 1'1r Flood replied that A 1tl A itself, along with the other Water Authorities, hoped soon to set up in Lincoln, a Consumer Consultative Division, by appointing representatives recommended by local authorities. Information about this \vould appear in the Press.

Answering a comment about the sharp decline in supply standards over the past five years, Mr Flood explained that the popular "satellite villages" to the nori>h and east of Lincoln had now developed to their optimum and were heavy consumers. Supply to the area depends on the level or "head" e,t Ingham Reservoir, and comes to Nettleham via vlel ton Pumping. Station vThere a new standby generator has been installed to maintain pressure in the event of an interruption in the public electricity supply, of which there are many during thunderstorms. The water here is naturally "hard" from the limestone rock, and is dosed with lime to soften and improve its constituency. There is a natural occurence of iron and this is taken out for the most part. l'f.lains flushing is carried out regularly. Burst mains are a problem, particularly at higher level, for this affects all pressure lower dmvn in the system. ..

Nettleham has depended on a series of small diameter branch mains instead of a big main. A reinforcement main is being laid along the A46, and the A \·l A is seeking a backup supply for Nettleham and neighbouring villages, from Branston Booths south of Lincoln, via a ma,in to be laid by the end of }�y, alongside the bridge'across the river 1;li tham at Fiskerton. Nettleham residents to the south side of \{ashdyke Lane, who now receive their supply from another source at Elkesley via \'lestgate 1t/ater tow·er, will be supplied in future, from vlel ton. Improvements in Nettleham' s water supply are in hand, 1'1r Flood assures us; but it will be a long and expensive job.

Larger diameter mains - laying, now in progress around Nettleham Green, marks the first phase of Anglia Water's undertaking, and should be complete by the end of May.

FISHERNAN1S FARE�/ELL

God grant that I may live to fish until my dying day, And when it comes it my last cast I then most humbly pray, \fuen in the Lords safe landing net I am peacefully asleep, That in his mercy I be judged as good enough to keep!

The Nettleham Ladies Club vrhich vras formed in February 1961 usually me·ets in the Village Hall at 7.30 p.m. on the last Vlednesday of each month. Our principal aim is Fellowship and Friendship ·to all.

rl'here is a short business meeting, follo�·red by an interval when coffee is served. Vle then have a guest s peaker. So far this year talks have been on Yorkshire Television, Microwave cooker'J and �rcttu.r::�.l Cosmetics. ';le have R.::!.so h2d a ta.lk and film on the vrork of the NSPCC and our Easter Fayre this year raised £410 for this particular charity. In addition to holding a large fund raising event once a year for a major charity, the Ladies Club helps the following annually; a local Children's home, Tufty Club, Forget-me-not C}.ub, Linelands, Church VievT and Age Concern. He also help the NSPCC on an annual basis but this year our major event's funds were also donated to the NSPCC because it is their Centenary Year. If you are new to the village, would you like to contact our Chairman, Lorraine Olsen on (Lincoln 751093) and she will put you in touch with your nearest Committee member.

IF YOU GO DOHN TO Till� ':.'OODS AT NIGHT • • • • •

There is something going on in this village that not many :;::Jeople know about a.Yld it is high time romeone exposed it for what it is.

The information available is rather scant but it has been established that a small section of the community has been holding meetings for some ��o years, alway� DPder the cover of darkness, in the sports pavilion.

Investigations into their activities have been hampered by the f�ct that heavy curtains are dravm before proceedings commence.

HoHever, their security has been breached on one or tvTO occasi. ons vrhen a small chink has appeared in the drapes. This has enabled our 'Snoor' to make some fragmented obse�­vations.

The group ap]ears to be some u�enty or so in number, equally divided between the genders and the assemblies last for up to three hours.

One can only guess at the nature of the activity for most of the time they just stand around in groups chatting and joking. One by one they concentrate their attenti0n on somethine; et ground level, bob dovrn and swing an arm. Then they all move to the other end ')f t:Oe room and the se..rne ritual is repeated. Ap:9lause and laughter frequently fill the room.

l?rom tine to time most of those present move to the ref�_·eshment area and do some armbending of a different kind.

The vrord is that they want to hear from others vrho would lilre to jr'�� +h"'m �"T' M"niJpy nigh+R f"�""!!l ll_u:'!"lSt to :M..arch. They look a friendly lot and this will present a very pleasurable vray of getting the full inside story.

This Spring's profusion of the _best blossoms and most dazzling daffodils, is a tribute to all \�ho have planned and contributed down the years - not least the \�arm hearted County Council in the person of County Arboriculturist Arthur Arbon. Parish Councillors, notably John Hill; enthusiastic groups, Brownies and Guides, keen individ-. uals too numerous to mention - all have contributed to Nettleharn 1 s present beauty, -

·

and Nurse Heath, who is very pleased with i,t all, adds a commend::ttion of P.ll r.hildren and young folk vrho've left it alone. "I didn't see one daffodil pulled off this year", comments Nurse.

Sunshine and shm.;ers - but the :9romise of summer - ho:pefully picnics and barbecues. An econornical picnic filling vThich is just as useful for the packed lunch, that seem

to be part of many families daily meals.

'Mock Crab' 1 Onion, 2 Eggs, 3 la.rge Tomatoes (-

or 1 small tin, flesh only), Pepper and Salt, 3 oz (75 g) Grated Cheese, 1 oz (25 g) l'Iargarine.

Saute the finely chopped onion in margarine. Add the skinned, chopped tomatoes, seasoning and cheese. Then simmer until blended. Stir in the well beaten eggs and cook very gently until the mixture thickens. Cool and use as sand\vich filling.

11ore and more folk today are owners of barbecues both large and small. There are endless recepies for sauces to use on the barbeques but one of the simplest, vrhich I find pleasing is this marinade which can be used for steaks, poultry and fish, and also as a baste when cooking.

'Barbecue I1arinade 1

1 sml. finely chopped Onion, 25 g. Jviargarine or 2 tbsp. Oil, 2 tbsp. Vinegar, 2 tbsp. Lemon Juice, 2 tbsp •. Any Sherry, 1 tbsp. \·lorcester Sauce, 2 teasp. Soft Brovm Sugar, 2 teasp. made �rustard, Salt, Pepper and Paprika to taste.

To make mix all ingrediants together and pour over the food to be marinated. Leave covered in the refrigerator, turning occasionally. · Large pieces of food must be left for up to two days, though small steaks or chicken :pieces need only two-three hours.

lsiTE oF THE BISHOP'S PALACE, NETTLEHAM I

By Charter dated 1101 at 1:linchester, King Henry I gave to Robert, Bishop of Lincoln and the Church in Lincoln the Hanor of "Net�meham" according to the grant of Queen Maude.

Bishop Hugh of \·Jells, consecrated Bishop of Lincoln in 1209, built the I1anor House of Nettleham on this site soon afterv�aros. The site is scheduled as an Ancient Honument, and is popularly knovm as the Bishop's Palace.

In 1301, while holding his Parliament in the Chapter House of Lincoln Cathedral, King EdHard I enjoyed the hospitality of Bishop Dalderby at the I1anor House, and it \vas at this time on the 7th February 1301 that the King py Charter inscribed "Nettleham" created his son Edward of Caernarvon, then sixteen y�ars of age, the first English Prince of \'/ales.

After the restoration of Charles II to the thro�e in 1660 and the subsequent return to the Church of its former properties, this IVJ:anor House, ,.,.,hich had during the period of the Reformation already become delapidated, was used as a source of stone for the building of cottages and roads in the village until the site became as it· novT is.

Dec. '83. A.L.B.

We should all kno,.,., the origin of the humps in the field opposite the Hhi te Hart, you don't • • • • • Hell here goes • • • • • •

Bisho:9 Hugh of \•.fells \vho \·las Bishop of Lincoln AD1209 - 1235 had built a manor house at Nettleham vrhere he entertained dignataries al�5.n to his office.

His successor, John Dalderby gave hospitality to King Bhrard I in the ,.,.,inter of AD1301 when Parliament met in the Chapter House of Lincoln Cathedral, there was no comparable mansion big enough in Lincoln to house such a huge gathering of retainers, servants, their haggage and their horses.

During the visit the King made his son, then aged 16, the first English Prirtce of Hales.

In 1590 the Bishop of Lincoln moved his residence to Buckden in Cambridgeshire and the Nettleham palace fell into decay.

In 1630 the manor house was pulled dmm and brick, tile and wood \vas removed to Lincoln :for the rebuilding of the :palace there, vrhich vTas completed about 1634, many of the present cottage walls and other buildings in Nettleham.were built of stone pillaged from the manor ruins..

He had been trying for a while to think up something exciting and different for the elderly and finally hit upon the idea of a holiday.

Because he was still ..,.rorking however he was not able to organise it at the right time. The chance came when he retired and in November 1983 he decided to "have a go".

Len spoke to a friend vrho was able to arrange a coach and also recommended an hotel in Scotland able to provide accommodation for a party of this nature. The problems were how to organise the holiday and recruit participants. Notices were placed in the Co-op, the Library and also in Xmas hampers distributed to Senior Citizens each year. Having no idea of the likely response, all Len could do was sit back and vrai t. The response was impressive and Len eventually ended up with fifty eight people who vranted to take part.

Operating on a first come first served basis Len was able to t��e the first forty­six \vhich was the maximum figure. It \-ras now that the vrork really began. \·larking out costs, collecting money, liasing with the hotel and coach company,. allocating seats and hotel rooms became frightening realities.

Eventually it began to fall into place, with destination, dates, and costs all decided. Len vras able to organise a method of payment (£10 deposit vri th the balance later, or for those who \dshed, a system of Heekly or monthly payments) and allocate coach and hotel room numbers.

The vlhole exercise \vas completed in the space of three vreeks, quite an achievement. The destination \vas Crieff near Perth, the dates 29th .April - 5th May and the cost £93.00. Sunday the 29th' April was a special day which found Len struggling peacefully with a back injury sustained the previous day as the result of a fall at the Bov1ls Club.

Nevertheless he was able to visit a number of people, collect their cases and deposit them at the Bus Station. Taking responsibility for the care of forty-six people \'lith an age range up to 85 years, some of whom had handicaps was indeed a daunting task, but there was no turning back at this point.

A� 8.30 a.m. a party of very excited people sallied forth from Lincoln en-route to the George Hotel in Crieff, a journey which took them to Newcastle, Goldstreams, Edinburgh, across the Forth Bridge, through Perth and finally to Crieff.

They had not left the County however before an incident arose. Near Caenby Corner the coach was stopped by the police, vrould you believe to allb\v a Phantom Jet to pass down the middle of the road on a transporter, it does seem strange cars carrying aeroplanes.

Eventually the party arrived at Crieff about 5.30 p.m. tired but happy, the journey had taken nine hours vTi th one or two stops. fJ.lhe holiday 'das an outstanding success. Trips to Perth, P itlochry and Stirling Castle were success�ully negotiated and enjoyed by all, the highlight being a visit to Balmoral Castle. This was especially interesting because the driver was able to take the coach up the drive and right to the royal front door, a rare happening indeed. Not many people can claim chauffer driven transport to the main door of a Royal residence.

The holiday became an amazing self-help exercise vli th everyone giving assistance to each other \vhen rieeded. New, and I 'm sure lasting friendships \·rere formed between people some of whom had never met before. It is indeed great testament to the character and attitude of the party that they vrere able to take on such a caring and friendly role toward each other.

The vrhole vTeek was a triumph for Len and Enid Charity. They had seen a simple dream right through to its final realization. Their reward was found in the pleasure it brought to those taking �art, some ')f whom Honld·not have had a holiday had it not been for this effort.

Their satisfaction was reflected in the number of "thank you" messages that arrived at 4 Greenfields all stating how much the holiday had been enjoyed.

Len assures me that plans made.for another holiday, sometline in the near future. Destination - perhaps back to Scotland or even: further afield - \fuo knows!

I Scottish Tour - B;y a Consumer I It vTas on the 29th April, Sunday 8.0 a. m. vrhen the holiday coach Hi th Hick at the

vrheel, gently nosed its vray out of NettlehP.m for Sr.otland. It i·Tas a lovely S:I'ring morning a..YJd vre soon settled down for a lJleasant journey. He hadn't gone far on the Brigg Road vrhen police stopped the coach and asked Hick to reverse into a side road, 'lui te a ·

tricky operation! VIe soon savr the reason� A plane vras coming up the road - this time of course it wa.s on a trailer and taking u:p all the road!. :iJventually \ve got back on the road and aimed' the coach tm.,rards Scotland. \•Te soon made headHay and in good time according to Ytick. We stopped at the usual places for the usual reasons! The most exciting vras at the Forth Bridge vrhere visibility i•ras good to enable us to see the great piece of engineering. Quite different to when He came back Hhen the total area was covered in thick mist. After a pleasant journey, He arrived c:>t the Geo:rge Hotel, Crieff about 6.0 p.m. A wash and change of clothes and ive Here soon enjoying dinner. vle found the Hotel warm and comfortable, the food excellent and needless to say most of us had an early night!

Monday \•ras a free day and while s me of us \vondered round Crieff, some of the more enterprising took the local bus to Perth.

Tuesday set the pattern for the next fevl days, breakfast at 8. 30 a.m. and away on a day outing by 9.30! They were hectic but enjoyable days, calling at clulcreuch Castle -where �·re met the Baron before vie<.dng tte Cas tle. rl1here i•TP.re lots of interesting :pla.ces to see and marvel ?.t, not' least ''IPre the m0untains sti 11 ui th snoH on top, also not forgetting all those sheep vri th their lambs, �here seemed thonsands of them - a Honnerf'11 r-;i ryt on :1. �:print; de.y.

Several thin-:s stick in one's mind, such as the Yeiv 'rree at Fortingall,. re�mted to be 3,000 years old, it looked remarkably hea-lthy to me even nmr. Also, Fortingall •ras sup:pose;d to be the birth place of Pontius Pilot ! - He li.ve and learn! A v�.si t to the Pi t1orh:rJ Pm·rer StR.tion vras also very interesting. l3P.hind the dam lies Loch Faskally vrhich i·ra.s formed vrhen the valley ,.,as flooded. '.Phis ,.,as a. beautiful sight as the water flm.rs through the •rummel Valley. One musn 't forget the fish pass Hhich enables the fish to pass up river to spawn. As a matter of interest the same \vater provides povrer for a series of hydro electric power station:f,- that is good Scottish thinking! On the Hay to Blairgowrie we passed the magnific nt Beech ?.Adge vlhich vias planted in 1746 and is now 00 feet high. He also made a visit to Balmoral Castle also the Church at Crathie. where the Royals go to vJOrship. This area is onP. of natural beauty and a good pl;we to go to, to get away from it all!

'the week is going far too quickly and on l<'riday 1t1e make the journey to Stirling and Stirling Castle where one can really feel that history h8.S been made there!

Saturday morninc; is bright and sunny and vri th breakfast at 8.00 a.m. and av1ay by 9.00 a.m. vJe depart for Hettleham after having a wonderful week. The return journey \vas quite pleasant and uneventful and vre arrived back in Nettleham about 7.00 p.m. tired but happy!

And Hha.t about Eick the driver, vrho drove us all the vTay there all through the \.,reek and then back home safe and sound and not an ar-'dous moment at any time, not only an efficient and considerate driver, he was a ,,,•eal th of information never missing a chance to comment on anythints that was remotely interesting. 1ilell done Mick!

And last but not least the tiva persons Hho made it e.ll �)os si ble Len and Enid Charity ahrays ready to give a hellling hand to the less agile also making sure ,.,e all had our coffee and biscuits. Jviany thanks Len and &.id for a i.,ronderful holiday:

Tramp Suppers! On leaving +.he shop I sta,rted a taxi s::;:-vj_(�e in the village. I did several trips

to the various air)orts, and did quite a. J.ct o;: ··rork "0r +hp Pr]11�"+io"'. ::. ;:id<eri. ,..hiln-rP.n ur from Gainsborough, Dunholme and took them on to ':lragby to catch a bus to Horncastle Special School for back\vard children. I then vrent on to Bennivrorth for a little girl she vras only just turned three they called her Sharron FlP.tcher, and she vras totally deaf, and the little girl I had a job with her, then vie came on to Nettleham and I picked up more children there. I took them to a special school on the Ermine, 'l'horesby Drive, then took Sarah on to St. Francis School. I picked them u:p usua.lly about 3.15 p.n. to bring them home. Took little Sha.:.cron on to :Benni\-JOrth and then I came back to \·Jragby to pick up the children from Horncastle to take them home to Gainsborough. I did this kind of '-.rork several years, and I had to give it up in 1979 because of my age. I organised certain trips for the For-get-me-Not Club in the village. I remember once taking them to Notting­ham and it vTas to see Fiddler on the Roof, Topol vias chief actor in that. Recently he appeared on Television in This is your Life and this brought back a fe1-1 memories. I then went up and had a 1-1ord 1-1i th Dermis rrurnell at the Brown Cm·l about arranging some 'l'ramp Suppers, you remember these don 1 t you, \·Jell Dermis said yes vie 111 try one and we had one and it vle.s huge success, and \.Je had several there, I remember there was 60 one year in the Tramp Supper and vie had our photograrlhs taken outside. �le looked a lot of bright things I 111 tell you. I bet you did. Vlhat time of the year did you run that? 0 1h it would be just before Christmas or probably in November or January or anything like that. We had one or t\vo at the Hhi te Hart and the Black Horse and I•Je raised quite a lot of money and this vias for the Senior Citizens Fund. It Has all in fun. I also ran amongst the four pubs a Knock-out competi�ion for the Jock Stuart Cup. Dominoes, Crib, Darts. This raised quite a lot of money but unfortunately this fell through owing to commitments of the various public houses and the league m;o_t,..hes.

I also arranged several smoking contests at Reepham, ci<y!rs. This I•Jas proper fun vle used to always run them before Christmas and the idea ..,.Tas to buy the cigar and the one that hel.d the a,sh on the 1f')n.r:eRt '·'AS the ·.-Ti'Y'lner. \·!hen I used to ask them to show smoke and there 'tfras about t\vo inches of ash the h;mds used to tremble and all the ash used to drop down the front. 'l'his used to last a.bout an hour or one hour fifteen minutes, and .the vrinners vrho usually used to vTin vJere the Taylor Brothers. He h8A one ::>t the Black Horse ::>,nd Hrs Scott and .Nrs Phillips and another lady \.Jon that.

I also e.rranged a. lot of trips to the r8ces. I Am going this year to one s:ronsored by John Smiths the Brmvers. They get their coPch fare, they e;et tHo pints of beer and they get a race card and they get entrance to Tattershall Ring and the total cost is £6.20 now this is a wonderful day out, and York is one of the best courses in the Horth. I ha.ve run this sort of trip for 16 years chiefly from the Liberal Club Lincoln and picking up at Brown Covr Nettleham.I have also been to Ascot, Ne1vmarket, Redcar, Leicester, Harwick and Donca,ster. The time is coming nmv vrhen I shall have to give this sort of 1·1ork up, Time is marching on nm-1. I am running this one this year, its on 14th July lvhich is a week after your Carnival. It usUB,lly falls on Carnival Day, when I go to York. I will be a.ble to see what goes on at the Carnival this year, being as I have missed it other years.
