QUEENS BIRTHDAY BEACON THURSDAY 21ST APRIL

It is planned to light a beacon at the top of Hilly Field to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen’s 90th birthday on 21st April.  It is hoped as many Minsteadeans as possible will attend or at least be able to see it from a suitable vantage point!

Please help by providing suitable dry material that will burn brightly (please no garden rubbish!) and by building the beacon on 20th and 21st April.

Material should be taken to Hilly Field just past the top of the road to Furzey on the left and placed within the fenced off area.  (The gate is easily opened by lifting the chain!).

For further information please contact Wilmur Biddlecombe on 07899 264263.

There will be an opportunity to continue celebrations at the Social Club afterwards.

HOW WE USED TO LIVE – TUESDAY 5 APRIL AT 7.30PM

Our next talk is entitled ‘Lyndhurst Working Men’s Club- and the local gentry who funded its establishment’ and will be given by Bill Smith.  Bill has lived in Lyndhurst all his life and is an amusing and accomplished speaker.  His interest in the history of the Working Men’s Club was sparked by his discovery of old minute books which were due to be put in the dustbin – he recognised that this was local history which should be preserved.  Bill was born in The Fenwick and attended Lyndhurst Primary School before continuing his education in Bartley.  His talk will also include his memories of Lyndhurst as it has changed in his lifetime and stories of local people.  It should be a good evening.

Emery Down and Bank Village Hall, entry £3 on the door.  Refreshments available.

See 2015-2016 Annual Report HWUTL for the annual report of How We Used To Live.
