Revd Cyril Payne died on December 27th last year. He was 88 and had been in Belmore Lodge retirement home at Lymington for two years. In the mid 1990’s Cyril was sent to All Saints’ Minstead as priest in charge and stayed for nearly two years. During this period he brought great healing after a difficult time for All Saints. He was much loved in this parish. The Thanksgiving service for Cyril will be on Monday 12th January at 2.30pm at St Thomas’s, Lymington.If you would like to know the address of Shelah, his widow, please contact one of the churchwardens:
Isabel Yeo (02380 282724 isabel@yeo-family.org.uk)
Elizabeth Randall (02380 811115 elizrandall@btinternet.com)
ICY ROADS
The recent cold spell caused ice to form in some places on our roads and at least one incident when a vehicle overturned (thankfully, no serious injuries). The Parish Council has urged HCC and local property owners frequently over several years to clear ditches, culverts, drains, bunnies etc to try and reduce the places where water spills out on to our roads in wet weather, with the potential to freeze in cold weather but there remain many places where this still occurs. Grit bins are located near most of the more hazardous places but as their precise positions are subject to approval by the Verderers they are not always in the best place. If you live near one and have a few minutes to spare then spreading a bit of grit around in freezing conditions would make our roads safer and help you warm up!
Meanwhile, everyone is warned to be extremely careful when driving, riding or walking along our roads in freezing conditions.
VIDEO OF THE MUMMERS
A video of the Minstead Mummer’s performance at the Trusty Servant on 20TH December is being put together. If you have any video recordings or photos of the performance, Nick Mellersh would love to have them to improve the video. Any video shot, however short, or any still photo however blurred, would be really useful. Please contact Nick on 02380 8112651 or via email at nandjmellersh@yahoo.co.uk.
