 HOW ENGLAND’S COVID LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS
               WILL BE LIFTED
Step 1, part 2 – 29 March
        Outdoor gatherings allowed of up to six people, or two house-
        holds if this is larger, not just in parks but also gardens.
        Outdoor sport for children and adults will be allowed including
        outdoor swimming pools.
        The official stay at home order will end, but people will be en-
        couraged to stay local – the definition of local will largely be left
        to people’s discretion.
        People will still be asked to work from home where possible, with
        no overseas travel allowed beyond the current small number of
        exceptions.

Step 2 – no earlier than 12 April
        Reopening of non-essential retail, hair and nail salons, and
        public buildings such as libraries.
        Most outdoor venues open, including pubs and restaurants but
        only for outdoor tables and beer gardens. Customers will have to
        be seated but there will be no need to have a meal with alcohol.
        Also reopening will be settings such as zoos and theme parks.
        However, social contact rules will apply here, so no indoor mix-
        ing between households and limits on outdoor mixing.
        Indoor leisure facilities such as gyms and pools can also open
        but again people can only go alone or with their own household.
        Reopening of holiday lets with no shared facilities, but only for
        one household.
        Funerals can have up to 30 attendees, while weddings,
        receptions and wakes can have 15.
        While it is not part of step 2, this is the earliest point after which
        the bulk of university students could know about the resumption
        of face-to-face classes. A review of this will take place at the
        end of the Easter holidays.

                     HORNBY PENSIONERS

               I hope you are all well and have been enjoying the early
               signs of spring. Such a lovely optimistic time of year!
Thank you to those who responded to last month's request for feed-
back, which concluded that meetings in the Institute should not be held
before members have had their 2nd vaccine injection. This means
that, hopefully, our first event this year will be the June trip. All being
well, details of the itinerary, arrangements on the coach and how to
book will be published in next month's edition of this newsletter.

Fingers crossed everybody!
In the meantime, take care, stay safe & enjoy the season.

                            JANE’S WISH
            Rachel and Jonathan Murton have given Beryl a huge
            £1741 from contributions in memory of Jane.

  It was Jane's wish that this should go to the Drop-In and it is hoped
 that we can use the money to buy new curtains for the Drop-In room.
                   We would like to say thank you to
                   Jonathan, Rachel and of course

                          HORNBY POOL
                           Re-opening!
The Lune Valley Swimming Pool re-opened on Monday 8th March to
provide weekly swimming lessons for local schools only. Staff training
ensured that the latest lifeguarding/first aid guidance and Covid proce-
dures were in place. All pupils, staff and teachers were very happy to
be back swimming again.

As always, we are focusing on making sure that swimming continues
to be available for all.

Our next big step is for General Public Sessions which, subject to
current government legislation, will commence on 12th April.

Please check out our website and the revised operating guidelines and
timetables when published.

Above all come back and enjoy your pool again, we so look forward to
seeing you.

              ROTARY CLUB OF LUNESDALE
         On 25th February, the club was privileged to have a speaker
         from the lesser-known part of the medical profession.
Members welcomed Kadaba Srinath Vasuden who likes to be called
simply Vas. He is a member of the Rotary Club of Blackpool Palatine.

It was a surprise to hear, early on in his talk, that as a one-year-old
toddler he had been the victim of polio. It was learning about the global
Rotary commitment to rid the world of polio that attracted him to
become a Rotarian himself.

He gave a fascinating talk about his work and that of his colleagues
referring to himself and them as The Backroom Boys.

His subject is Histopathology which is the diagnosis and study of
diseases of the body’s tissues. This involves examining under a micro-
scope tissues and or cells. The results of such detailed examination
help clinicians to manage a patient’s care. Vas explained that the com-
mon concept of a pathologist is a person who examines dead bodies.
He emphasised however that the examination under a microscope of
tissues and cells is a vital process which assists in determining the
cause of problems very much in the living!

On March 4th Stephen Hinde, a retired police officer, an ISO
(Information Security Officer) gave an excellent talk. He spoke about
his career in the force and his involvement in solving the cases of 3
murders.

On 11th March Graham Jackson gave an extremely interesting talk
about the history of legal dress. He spoke about the use of vibrant
colours of the robes worn by the judiciary e.g., scarlet, gold and blue,
the materials used including silks, taffeta, and white fur plus an expla-
nation about the different types of wigs worn.

The result of being confronted by such impressive attire can be very
intimidating to the criminal in the dock!

Keep well, keep safe.

                   HORNBY VILLAGE TRUST
The sun is shining, spring is all around and some of the
lockdown restrictions are soon to be lifted. Yippee!

With that in mind HVT is working towards the re-opening of the
Institute around the 17th of May. It is possible that some groups may
be allowed to return earlier so look out for notices in the bus shelter
and at the Institute.

Whatever 'normality' looks like the Institute will be back to hosting
events, parties, BBQs, weddings and much, much more as soon as
we are allowed. If you are thinking of a party or event, then do con-
tact Jill on 015242 22227 as we are taking provisional bookings (with
all the usual caveats).

In the meantime, the roof on the cottage is being replaced and we are
obtaining quotes for some internal work needing to be done in the In-
stitute.

        NEW SIGNS ON WATER TREATMENT GATE
                   An Explanation
Every morning John and I always walked along the river to the water
treatment gate with our unofficial
dog walking group.

When we arrived John would tap
out a tune on the bars which we
had to recognise and then sing it.

It became quite a tradition, and af-
ter he died last month our friends
decided to put this plaque up to
remember him and his
'unforgettable tuning stick'.

He would have loved it!

      HORNBY–WITH-FARLETON PARISH COUNCIL
             Thursday 11th March 2021
The Haweswater Aqueduct Resilience Programme (HARP) was dis-
cussed. Representatives from both United Utilities and LCC Highways
were present. United Utilities led the presentation and discussion
including the background and the importance of the project. The
discussion also detailed what stage United Utilities are at now and how
they plan to progress. HPC acknowledge that this work does need to
be carried out, but highlighted safety concerns surrounding large
vehicles and increased traffic on the B6480. It is felt that real
consideration needs to be given to the section of the road surrounding
Butt Yeats and Lunesdale Court in the planning application due to be
submitted by United Utilities to LCC in June 2021.

Volunteers have approached HPC to clean up the area around the
War Memorial, shelter and bench. As HPC do not own these assets,
they don’t have the authority to give the volunteers permission. How-
ever, HPC has encouraged the volunteers to carry out the ‘tidy up’ of
the area on their own initiative. HPC are now looking into adopting the
war memorial, shelter and bench and have it covered under the HPC
insurance for the future if possible.

More detailed minutes will be available after they have been approved
at the next meeting.

The next meeting will be held (via Zoom) on Thursday 8 th April 2021 at
7pm.

Joining instructions will be displayed on the agenda that will be placed
in the notice boards on Monday 5th April, if you need any assistance
please contact the clerk.

Take care of yourselves and those around you.

      HORNBY ST MARGARET’S PRIMARY SCHOOL
              We are so pleased to see all the children back in school.
              The children are happy to be back too, happy to learn in
              classrooms and happy to see their friends. They are
              inventing islands, learning about climate change, and do-
              ing some outdoor circuit training too. On Ellen’s island
              you will find a Boomerang Otter:
This is a type of otter found in
tropical rainforests living
close to water. It is a cross
between an otter and a
monkey it keeps the otter ap-
pearance but has monkey
like characteristics. It is good
at swimming and climbing. It
eats fish and fruit in trees. It
is called a Boomerang Otter
as it must go back to water
once every 2 weeks.
Whilst learning at home, the Juniors were treated to a World Book Day
event online with the author Andrew Cope. The children dressed in dis-
guise, discussed the Spy Dog novels, and were then set a writing chal-
lenge. Andrew, who has a PhD in being happy (yes, really!) also
reminded them that one sure way to happiness is to always try their
best with everything that they do and to READ, READ, READ!
Congratulations to Noah and Isabel who won the writing challenge with
some great stories written in only a couple of hours!
The Infants have been busy writing too. They’ve been honing their per-
suasive writing skills by trying to convince Horrid Henry’s parents to let
Henry have a party and trying to encourage a scared koala out of a
tree! They are now learning all about Arctic Foxes – did you know that
Arctic Foxes are the only canines to have fur on the bottom of their
feet?
Before we know it, the children will be enjoying a well-deserved break
and then enjoying the fun that Summer Term always brings.
From all at Hornby School, Happy Easter!

   SNOWDROPS FOR ST MARGARET’S CHURCHARD

                TALES FROM A PARISHIONER
               The Great Fire – aka Sky Lanterns
In a village far, far away from Hornby it was a fine night with a few
clouds but no wind. So, us oldies and two young grandsons went into
the garden with a Sky Lantern. One of two given to them by their
‘aunt’ who promised it would float gently into the night sky casting a
warm glow over everything.
Grandad opened the lantern, exclaiming in surprise at the size. Nana
held it while he bent to light the innocuous square under it. Then
            together held it until, as the instructions said, the lantern
            filled with heat and floated gently upwards – straight into the
            apple tree and getting wedged on the washing line! Gran-
            dad grabbed it while Nana grabbed the excited, dancing
            boys and each
retreated to opposite corners of the garden. Grandad went up to the
workshop, climbing the steps to give him extra height. One little boy
was shouting ‘chuck it up, Grandad’ while Nana was
shouting ‘no, let it go gently or you’ll set fire to it’!!
It was finally released – again – to fulfil its role in life,
gentle pleasure as it ascended to the Heavens. No! – it
floated for about 5 seconds and Nana had just opened
her mouth to say ‘Ahh’ when a breeze caught it; whipped it upwards
and sideways towards the worthy couple’s humble abode. It sailed
over the roof with a veritable Viking Burial of flames coming from un-
derneath heading for the unsuspecting village. The boys and Nana
raced into the house, to the front bedroom window, but no sign of it.
Thankfully, no sign of houses on fire either. But what did anyone who
spied it think – they would never enter a public house again. Was it an
alien craft, a fireball from the outer reaches of space?
The couple and the little boys quietly closed the door; put out the porch
light and listened for the Fire Engine.
              And the other Sky Lantern I can hear you ask – it’s safely
              back in the bag and on top of the wardrobe waiting for a
              visit to somewhere suitable – The Sahara or Antarctica or
              somewhere of that ilk!!!

             CATON THEATRE INTEREST GROUP

We will be updating our information as we receive it on
the theatre visit to the Octagon Theatre, Bolton on the
26th of June for a matinee performance of ‘One Man Two
Governors’. This date is very close to the total lifting of all
restrictions, we cannot be sure until at least April that
theatre restrictions will be lifted.

If your name is on our list all changes will be included in this magazine
or give us a call.

The cost for a theatre ticket and coach is £38.50 which we will be
collecting in April.

This coming Christmas the Grand Theatre Blackpool will be present-
ing the pantomime ‘Snow White’.

We have reserved seats at the front of the dress circle for a matinee
performance on the 1st of January 2022. The prices will be advertised
as we receive them. We have started a list and already have many
expressions of interest.

     CATON AND BROOKHOUSE FRIENDSHIP CLUB
                 As most of our members have had their 2nd Covid 19
                 vaccine or they have a date to attend for one and the
                 rules indicated that non urgent retail could open on the
                 12th of April, we hoped our April trip to Boundary mill
might go ahead. However, the rules still indicate that unnecessary
travel outside the local area was not allowed.

We did contact Bibby’s and they confirmed that unfortunately our 15th
of April trip is covered by this rule and has been cancelled.

Our next trip to Lytham and Dobbies garden centre on the 20 th of May
when we hope the travel ban will be lifted. Again we have everything
crossed that it will go ahead and we can meet our friends, have some
much needed fresh air and buy our bedding out plants. Pick up at the
Victoria Institute at 9.30am then on to pick up at Brookhouse. (Other
pick up points can be arranged by calling our secretary).

If you are aware of anyone who is not receiving their ‘Link’ please let
our secretary know.

To book or for further information, please call our secretary;

                       HORNBY ART GROUP
I have been really pleased with the response to our artwork being dis-
played on the front cover of the Contact magazine every month. Your
appreciation of our work is most welcome.
Normally our work is displayed along the gallery on the upper floor of the
Institute and is replenished by new efforts every two months.
Meetings usually take place on Wednesday afternoons between 2pm
and 4 pm from September through to April and it is so very disappointing
that our group meetings continue to be on hold.
The earliest opportunity to recommence meetings will therefore be at the
beginning of September this year.
I am afraid that our membership is extremely low however and the suc-
cessful continuation of the group will depend on our being able to attract
more people with a keen interest in developing artistic skills. A desire to
represent all that appeals to you, through colour is all that you need. We
can provide help with all the necessary techniques needed, to develop
what you wish to achieve.
If you would like more information regarding the group, please do not
hesitate to call me, Ann Nash 015242 22595

I enclose an image of one of my latest challenges. A seascape, some-
thing that I have only attempted once before, on account of there being
so many blues! It makes a change from landscapes, where the problem
is that there are so many greens!
