A wonderful day by the seaside

A forcibly retired pensioner relaxing !

As most of you will know by now the towns people of Lyme Regis rejected an offer by me being a Councillor for the next four years. Those who did vote for me I thank sincerely for the confidence you have shown in me over the last twenty years plus. I am also grateful to the few new Councillors who have contacted me. Experience is not a quality you get elected for but is needed at times .Best wishes to all . Kenneth Go to my election page to read my comment please !

Goodwill from all parties resulted last evening in unlocking the door to open once again a Lyme Regis Club for young people

Lyme Regis Town Council held an Extraordinary general meeting for all concerned parties to discuss and thrash out any difficulties that might have arisen in planning the opening of the club. After a good and lengthy discussion a proposition was put to the council to go ahead and a vote taken. It was a unanimous vote. Clapping and cheers greeted the announcement that once again the youth club will be open.

Magna Housing Association

I was invited to the Annual Meeting of the Magna HousingAssociation in Dorchester. They gave in donations over £1,000.00 last year to various organisations. Over £1000 was given to Royal British Legion Lyme Regis to re model and look after the Polish war memorial dedicated to the polish airman who were stationed in the West Country in the second world war. A service is held in November each year at the memorial Some of the pictures take you inside the meeting place at Dorchester.

Lyme Regis turn out to stop the closure of our Library

OPEN DAY This is a very happy day for the young people of this town

I am being a bit self centred here this was a wonderful day for me to see the Club being opened in a way that most of us dreamed of. Over the years many people one of whom I must mention Melanie Owen without her help and others the club would have certainly closed. To have given there time and sometimes money to keep the Club open for the youngsters of this town is commendable. This time with hard work and a lot of sincerity for the project I am sure it will succeed. If today was anything to go by with the turn out of the Lyme people it cannot fail.You will see in the pictures Lyme Regis Mayor Mrs Ellis, James Ward Rice (Dorset Youth Service) Marcus Dixon (Lyme Regis Development Trust) and supporters and helpers in the running of the club.

Ted Street friend and Councillor We shall miss you.

It is with great sadness that my friend Ted Street passed away in Australia on December 23rd 2010. I am very grateful with my wife Josephine to have visited him in Adelaide last February. We were made very welcome by all the family and spent a wonderful evening with them. Certainly at that time Ted had lost none of his own particular personality. His memory of Lyme was a good as ever and still as passionate about the town of his birth. It has been a priviledge to have known him

Lyme Regis Plunge 2011

A fantastic turn out for this Annual event . As you can see by the pic's the most "dippers" ever and the the largest crowds ever for this event. Well done everyone who took part and the organisers for all the hard work they put in.
