Our series of entertaining and interesting talks and events
continues into March with a very welcome visit from;

March 2nd Susanna Bleakley from Morecambe Bay Partnership.
          Lots of exciting things are happening around Morecambe
          Bay at the moment. Not least the emphasis on protecting
          the natural environment and opportunities created by the
          proposed Eden of the North project.

March 16th We have the intriguingly titled Muck, Medicine and
           Mortality, Health and Housing presentation by a very
           well-known and respected speaker Mike Winstanley.

Hornby Lunesdale Probus Club meetings take place in The Hornby
Institute at 10am - for 10.30am start.

For further details of any of our events or talks please contact:

It's that time of year again, when H.V.T. will be calling to collect "100"
Club subscriptions. Unfortunately, we have lost several of our regular
subscribers this year. Consequently, we hope that some of you will in-
crease your subscriptions and that new members will join.

H.V.T. relies heavily on your generosity and is very grateful. There is
over £1600 to be won each year in 53 draws

Thank you in anticipation.

                           More good news!

A very good start to the new decade with more
public swimmers taking full advantage of the
range of activities on offer.

Because of this we have been able to revise some of our earlier cost
reduction measures.

Saturday Morning swims - Following several requests, we have re-
instated Saturday morning sessions starting on “Leap Year Day”
Saturday 29th February with lane swimming 9am - 10am and public
swimming from 10am -11am. Saturday afternoon is available for
private family bookings.

Parent &Toddler - We’ve introduced a brand-new Parent & Toddler
30-minute ‘Splashing Tots’ swim session. This fun, pre-school, splash
-around session is aimed at parents with pre-school aged children.
This includes exclusive use of our 30°C UV treated pool with vari-
ous toys, floats and small inflatables to play with along to
children's music and nursery rhymes.

Lifeguard on duty. Tuesdays 11.30am - 12pm. £2.50 per child, adults
FREE. It’s already very popular!

Authorised admission policy - One responsible adult can supervise two
under 5’s in the water.

The new management team is confident that 2020 will see continued
improving viability to ensure a bright future for this lovely pool and if we
are missing other opportunities please let us know. It's your pool, tell
us what you think.

                               PROBUS CLUBS
     Founded in the UK in the 1960s Probus Clubs were constituted, usual-
     ly sponsored by Rotary, for retired and semi-retired people from all
     walks of life. The title PROBUS is derived from PROfessional
     & BUSiness and appropriately this word has links with the Latin for
     probity.

     Members meet up in non-political, non-sectarian, non-profit, autono-
     mous clubs to meet colleagues with similar levels of interest, make
     new friends, and maintain and expand their interests. Clubs can be
     Male, Female or Mixed to suit the local membership.

     Hornby Lunesdale Probus and Hornby Castle Probus Clubs
     Our two local clubs meet on most alternate Monday mornings through-
     out the year at the Hornby Village Institute.

     Who are we and what do we do?
     Primarily we meet up and enjoy a programme of wonderful presenta-
     tions by guest speakers on a wide variety of interesting and entertain-
     ing subjects. These can be very stimulating, and we learn a lot of
     really fascinating stuff from our excellent speakers and lively debate.
     We are a friendly bunch and some members stay behind after the
     meeting for an optional light lunch and an informal catch up.
     We also organise occasional great-value day trips and short breaks for
     members, partners and guests. But mainly we just meet, enjoy an
     enlightening presentation, catch up on the local news and solve all the
     problems of the world- all in a couple of hours!

     There is a small annual membership fee and an attendance charge for
     coffee & room hire etc. at each meeting. We have a small volunteer
     committee but no formal ceremonies or rituals, no fund-raising or
     minimum attendance requirements - just fellowship.

     Interested? Why not come along, without any obligation, to one of our
     meetings?

     If you would like further information or wish to attend as a guest,
     please contact:

Our meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month
at the Wray Institute at 7.30 pm except there is a change for
the meeting on the 11th March when we have a joint meeting
with Tunstall WI at 7 pm at Tunstall Village Hall.

At our meeting on the 12th February we were given a talk by Rob and
Keith from the Forest of Bowland Moorland Group on the Abbeystead Es-
tate. This was very interesting and amusing. We now know a little more
about Lime disease and how dangerous it is for sheep, deer and humans,
also how the moorland must be controlled with burning at times

Don't forget to buy your tickets for the Cheese and Wine Evening, which is
on the 14th March at the Wray Institute, tickets can be bought from any
committee member. This year proceeds go to St John's Hospice.
