Greystoke Film Nights, Autumn / Winter 2022/3

Greystoke WI
Greystoke WI’s September speaker was Jules Wooding, the manager of the Military Museum in the Castle at Carlisle. Jules has worked there since 2014 and took on managing it in 2020, just in time to keep it going through the pandemic. The museum celebrates its 90th birthday on Wednesday 7 December this year.
Jules spoke to us about how the museum was established and how the collection expanded as people donated items and soldiers brought things back with them. The exhibits that she highlighted helped to bring home her message that the museum is not just about collections of medals but about the experiences of local people in the military in times of war. It was fascinating to hear about a banner in which Jules is shown wearing white gloves and reverently holding a worn out bush hat. She explained that this tatty looking hat used to belong to George MacDonald Fraser known to many as the author of the Flashman books.
Our Thursday 6 October meeting will be our Guest Night with a supper and entertainment from Denis Westmorland.
If you would like to join us please contact Hazel.
Greystoke Swimming Pool
The swimming pool closed on Tuesday 6 September after a very successful summer. We had a later than planned opening as a new pump was required but once underway the season has gone well. I would like to thank all our volunteers who contribute to the pool. This includes the maintenance team, café volunteers, plant room and water quality team, film night team, beer festival team, pool lottery team, winter café team, lifeguard team, and last but not least, the committee. It takes over 100 volunteers to keep the pool open and sorry if I’ve missed anyone.
We welcome anyone who wants to get involved in any of the above teams or would like to join the committee. Our next meeting is on Wednesday 5 October in the pool café and we are focusing on fundraising. All are welcome! The time is to be confirmed but if you’re interested please eMail us.

Greystoke Parish Council
Greystoke Parish Council has met with Highways regarding traffic calming measures in Greystoke. Although we caught over 1,400 motorists doing over 35 miles per hour, none was prosecuted. When we asked why our Police Crimes Commissioner was not prosecuting the offenders, we were told it was not in his remit. Neither will he attend a Parish Council meeting. After asking him several times, this is very disappointing.
At last we have had a response back from Highways regarding cutting the grass beside the footpath up Berrier Road. They said they would have to get permission to cut the bush back that was overhanging the footpath – I said not to bother as I had done it for you!
I wish you all well during the difficult times that lie ahead, but if you think there is anything the Parish Council may be able to help you with please let any of the Parish Councillors know.
Next month, I should be receiving the crocus bulbs which I will then take to people around the village to ask them if they would be so kind as to get a group of people together to plant them. I hope you can help – I have already had one volunteer.

Fellrunner Timetable
The Fellrunner Trustees will meet in October to discuss possible timetable changes/new services to come into effect in January 2023. I know there has been an effort at Greystoke to get Stagecoach services rerouted through the village and good luck with that! If Stagecoach say no, Fellrunner has the capacity to give Greystoke an extra service or services if the demand is there?
We currently provide a Greystoke/Penrith service on a Tuesday but we might be able to add in a service on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday too. (We aren’t Stagecoach of course and we are not talking about an all day, every 30 minute service)!! We also operate a monthly shopping trip to Carlisle which could be rerouted to call at Greystoke. (I know a couple of passengers travel from Greystoke to Newbiggin to catch this service). The key would be the level of demand – the Tuesday service attracts about five passengers from Greystoke on average.[/et_pb_cta][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
