B4RN for Hornby and Farleton CONTACT B4RN for Hornby and Farleton is a community project that is working to bring the hyperfast B4RN broadband service to Hornby and Farleton. The team is continuing to finalise details of the core routes around Hornby. Earlier in January some volunteers The local news of Hornby-with-Farleton helped to deliver duct for the houses on the top estate and for the route North to link Delivered in Hornby, Farleton, Claughton & Gressingham No. 513 up to Melling. Digging started at the Melling end before Christmas, and we will get started on the top estate as soon as the ground is dry enough. The core route has been agreed in principle from Wray to Farleton, and on to February 2015 Claughton. The team is continuing to work on the details of the rollout in Farleton itself. If you wish to receive regular updates about the roll-out in Hornby and Farleton, please sign up for our newsletter here: http://tinyletter.com/B4RN-Hornby If you are interested in a B4RN broadband connection, are thinking of investing, wish to get involved or would like any other information about the project, please email: [email protected] B4RN for Claughton The cabinet for Claughton is due to be delivered before the end of the month and a pre -existing site for it has been agreed with the landowner. Maps for the actual route of the ducting with positioning of chambers have been prepared and are being distributed to those involved in the installation. A crossing of the A683 near to the cabinet will be necessary and the best method of achieving this is under consideration. The wet weather has held up mole ploughing to the east of the village. The complete route is planned to run from just west of Stock Bridge, near Farleton Crossing to Hole House Farm on the road to Caton Green. More information on the Claughton scheme is available from: [email protected]

Spring 1919: the War is over, and it’s an important day for the village, a day of celebration - a bright, hopeful day. But for Annie and Elizabeth this is also the day when a woman arrives in the village who will change their lives forever. Who is she? What has she to do with them? And who is the man that connects them all? Based on the extra-ordinary, true story of a woman’s amazing journey into the heart of a man’s War, Dorothy’s War is told through songs of the period ranging from much-loved favourites to forgotten gems all sung live in close-harmony. Based on an extra-ordinary and little-known true story of Dorothy Lawrence, about her daring and courage in the Great War. You will be gripped; you will love the songs; you will sing along; you will laugh; above all, you will be moved. http://www.theharmonettes.co.uk

sites for pollinator patches. These sites are the triangle of grass at the junction of (with OUR LADY’S, CATON, and ST JOSEPH’S, KIRKBY LONSDALE) Gressingham Road and Melling Road and also the grass verge outside the entrance to Strands Court. It was felt that the second of these sites would be the more suitable Parish Priest: Canon Luiz Ruscillo option. Erica and Alayne are requesting a group of volunteers to help them develop Telephone: 015242 21246 this further.

Weekend Mass Times Three separate planning applications were discussed with the most controversial being the demolition of the old hairdressers on Station Road and a dwelling erected in its place. Several concerns were raised with the main one being the fact that this site Saturday Vigil Mass at 6 pm – Our Lady’s, Caton can never be safe for vehicular access. For this reason, the Councillors voted against this application.

Hornby Village Trust Funding

The H.V.T. Committee have asked Hornby Parish Council for help with funding the Institute and the services that it provides. We are asking for approx. £5000 each year (applied for annually) and this equates to approx. 29.5 pence per average household per week. Your Parish Council needs to know that you are in favour of this. Please come to a public meeting in the Institute on Wed. Feb. 11th at 7.30pm to learn more and BE COUNTED. Without this funding the Institute is in serious danger of closing.
