The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
In honour of the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen, the Johnby Hall Estate has planted seven cherry trees, a tree for each decade of Her Majesty’s reign. They are in Roadside Wood, between Johnby and Greystoke, in a clearing by the road where we hope that, as they grow, they will be enjoyed by local people for many years to come.

Greystoke WI
Our June meeting began with a Platinum Jubilee celebration. We enjoyed a light supper, toasted the Queen (who is a member of WI) and sang the National Anthem. Then two members cut an exquisitely decorated celebration cake, which was guarded by two icing sugar corgis and topped by a beautiful purple crown.
Our speaker was Lynne from Pine Tree Nurseries who gave a fascinating talk about the recent history of the site. She explained how her husband changed his career and they bought the site without seeing it all. It turned out to be covered in rubbish which all had to be cleared before they could get on with their planting. There was also a ramshackle greenhouse and several polytunnels which shed their plastic in a 2014 storm. It was inspiring to hear about their vision and dedication, and to see the remarkable before and after photos. There was then a chance to buy some very beautiful plants.
With no July meeting, on Thursday 4 August will be an Open Meeting with a talk from Andrew Leech and Jim Bownass who curate the Cumbria Archive of videos.
If you would like to join us please phone Hazel.

Greystoke Brownies and Guides
Greystoke Brownies and Guides have had an action packed term. Guides made a bio-sphere and Brownies sowed wild flower seeds, lettuce, nasturtium and chilli. Brownies acquired new art skills when they tackled pointillism, and Guides practised their tent pitching and camp skills. You’ll have seen the Brownie and Guide Scarecrows made for the Scarecrow Trail, plus we celebrated the Platinum Jubilee with our own party, and squeezed in a visit to Cumbria Constabulary Police HQ. As you read this edition, all of our Guides will be enjoying Guide Camp in Silverdale.
In July, we’ll be enjoying a joint meeting with Threlkeld Brownies when they come swimming here in Greystoke, and a trip to Castle Park to play crazy golf and have a chippy tea.
Brownies is for girls aged 7-10, and Guides is for girls aged 10-14. We meet in the village hall on Monday evenings. For more info and to join, see the Guides website or eMail.
Greystoke Parish Council
The next meeting for Greystoke Parish Council is on Tuesday 26 July at 7.30pm in the Village Hall. Atkinson Builders will give a presentation on a proposal to build more dwellings in Greystoke.
We are also concerned about the amount of vehicles parked at the top of Church Road which do not belong to the residents. However we cannot enforce anybody to move them as there is no resistive parking. We would ask them to park in the car park or further down where the road is wider.
We are also disappointed that, although there were over 700 people caught by our speed camera in a 6 week period (45 without a licence or MOT), no one will get prosecuted as our Police Commissioner has no one in charge to send out letters to prosecute them. Our other speed camera was vandalised before it was commissioned, but it will be replaced.
Finally, the best kept garden competition will take place again this year.
Roy Fisher (Chairman)
