Page 5 Lurgashall Parish May 2019 LURGASHALL PARISH COUNCIL THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE PARISH COUNCIL WILL BE HELD ON THURSDAY 16TH MAY 2019 at 7.30PM AT THE VILLAGE HALL
All members of the public are welcome to attend and as usual there will be time set aside for anyone to raise any concerns they may have in the parish. DRAFT minutes from the last meeting are available to view on the website or notice board.
PARISH COUNCIL VACANCIES
As the number of candidates nominated for the Parish Council elections was lower than the number of vacancies to be filled, all seven candidates are declared as elected as unopposed and it is therefore not necessary to hold an election in Lurgashall. However there are two vacancies and these may be filled at the next Parish Council meeting as a co-option on Thursday 16th May. If you are interested in becoming a Parish Councillor, please contact the Clerk or do come along to the meeting.
ALLOTMENTS: There are several allotment plots available for the forthcoming season. £22 full plot, £11 half plot. Please contact the Clerk if you are interested.
Sadly the Compass Bus route 96 has been withdrawn from 15th April 2019 due to low passenger numbers.

‘First Man’ Wednesday 1st May Lurgashall Village Hall
Fifty years ago this July, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon.
To celebrate this historic event, we are proud to be showing ‘First Man’, which tells the story of Neil Armstrong (played by Ryan Gosling) and the work of the NASA space programme in the decade leading up to the moon landing.
Based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues, and the nation itself for one of the most dangerous missions in history.
Doors open at 7.00pm Film starts at 7.30pm

Page 13 Lurgashall Parish May 2019 Lurgashall Fete 2019 – Saturday 1st June See you there!
Hi there from Lurgashall Fete! Yes, the Great Day for the 2019 Fete approaches fast - and now we really need your help. All the main attractions are booked - Vic Cracknell and his band will be the main entertainers again this year after their barnstorming performances over several years. There’ll be lots to do for all the family: races for the children (and for the dogs!), the tug-o-war, the ride-on railway, the famous monster bouncy castle and maze will be back too. Also, the children’s entertainers, David and Susie, will be running their captivating shows.
May is the big collections month, so we need your annual turn out to supply our stalls please. Contributions of ‘spare’ Christmas presents, bottles, books and clothing are needed; budding gardeners and cooks can help too. The contacts for all your generous donations to the various stalls are listed below. Special request - no books or silent auction prizes on fete day - please drop them in advance. Caroline Wilding is once again running the famous Boutique, so please make sure she gets some great stock.
There are still plenty of slots for helpers in all sorts of ways. In particular, more helpers are needed for the tea stall, the barbecue and to help supervise Bouncy Castle during the afternoon, even just for an hour, so that would be a good way to help if you just wanted a small role. It would be great to hear from you - please call or email me. The fete is fun!
Stall Please deliver to
Books Annabel Grout has agreed to run this stall, assisted by Jeremy and Karen Bonnett, but deliveries please to John and Barbara Kinnear who have kindly set aside space in their barn at High Hampstead Farm (1/2 mile out of the village towards the Lickfold on left). Please leave in the open sided barn.
Page 14 Lurgashall Parish May 2019
Bottles Still time to donate all those unwanted bottles that have been lurking, unopened at the back of your cupboard. Anything in a bottle welcome, as long as it’s not past its sell-by date! There are door-to- door collection rounds in various parts of the village. If you’re not on one, call Neil Harding (07831 631457) or drop off in the Fete Bottle Stall box at the Village Shop. If your cupboard is empty, the Village Shop will be happy to sell you a bottle or two to go straight into the box! Boutique Clothes either to Caroline Wilding at Hobstevens Farm, Jobsons Lane (leave the Green towards Dial Green, turn right and then half a mile on right), or to Ellie Kinnear at Orchard Park Farm (behind the Noah’s Ark) Cakes/Produce to Iola Christian at Garden Cottage on the Green, or to the stall on the day (stall to be run by Kate Murray – 07788 568209) Plants John Kinnear’s barn at High Hampstead Farm (01798 860913) or to stall on the day Cakes for teas on the day please, to the cricket pavilion (cakes, scones etc. please) White Elephant designated stable at The Hole as usual – /Toys deliveries only from 1st May please

WHAT’S ON AT HASLEMERE MUSEUM
Looking Out Runs from 10 May to 1 June Borderlands Artists’ Consortium are a long-established group of professional contemporary artists from the borders of Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire. ‘Looking Out’ is a theme which is interpreted differently by each artist and in a fascinating variety of ways, both figurative and abstract. Their work includes subtle watercolours, bolder acrylics, and exciting mixed media combinations. An exhibition with imaginative diversity which will appeal to everyone!
Georgina Ling Runs from 7 to 25 May A remarkable exhibition by the late renowned local artist Georgina Ling. Georgina studied at Chelsea School of Art, taught by Elizabeth Frink and also at St Martins in London. During the 1970's she made the brave move of setting herself up as a professional watercolour artist. She moved to Haslemere in 1976 and found a market for local and foreign views which took her all over England and on painting trips to Europe. The paintings have kindly been donated by the family.
HASLEMERE FESTIVAL 11th – 27th May The eighth Haslemere Festival promises two action packed weeks of art, culture, entertainment for children, music, talks, walks and more. As part of the Haslemere Festival, the Museum will be hosting an exciting array of topical talks. For details of all the events taking place, please visit www.haslemerefestival.org.uk.

LEAGUE OF FRIENDS OF HASLEMERE HOSPITAL
The League of Friends of Haslemere Hospital AGM will be held on May 22nd at 7.30pm in the Hunter Centre, Grayswood Road, Haslemere. (Please drive as you would to the hospital, and there is a carpark on the right opposite the hospital entrance and then a very short path through to the Grayswood Road and the Hunter Centre).
For our hospital during the year, the major items we have purchased are a Vein Viewer, an Optical Coherence Scanner for eye health which can identify macular conditions, diabetes etc, and a Tovatel Magic Table!! The Tovatel Magic Table has been developed following a research programme involving people with dementia and learning difficulties.
Our Chairman says ‘’I could see this Magic Table really helping brain injured and stroke patients and, I think, this is an area being further developed. It’s not often a scientific researched tool is used in hospitals and other settings to provide fun and health gain for all, but this one seems to.’’ There will be wine and nibbles afterwards so do please come and join us, and support your local hospital.
Membership leaflets are located in waiting rooms and around the town.
