Edmund Tylney 20% Discount offer

Posted on by 
Attached to the Summer Newsletter, members will have found the special offer of 10% discount from 27th July until 12th August and various business listed.  I am pleased to inform members that Gregory Giles, the new manager of the the Edmund Tylney (the Wetherspoon's pub on the High Street), has emailed the chair of our Publicity & Membership Subcommittee the following:
---------------------------------------------------------


I am not sure what was previously agreed by the departing manager of our business but as the new manager I would like to offer all Leatherhead Residents' Association members 20% discount on all food bills excluding those deals which already include a free drink as part of their promotion.

 As responsible retailers we are unable to offer targeted discounts on drinks purchases. The 20% discount on food is available to all your members with immediate effect on production of appropriate identification of membership to our staff and will continue until you or I request otherwise. This will extend to any single member who has up to three non-member guests in their party, so family and friends of our local association are not excluded!

Teazle Wood Update from Lucy Quinnell


							

					Posted on   by  				

			
		


					

				


Hi everyone


 




Just to let you know that the campaign is going very well indeed.  The support from the local residential and business community (and  indeed from further afield – a donation was made yesterday from  Australia) has been a wonderful thing to experience. Thanks are owed to  many (you know who you are), and I look forward to sharing the whole  story further down the line.






I’m also writing to tell you that the Woodland Trust has been  incredibly supportive this week, and Teazle Wood has become one of their  WOODWATCH featured woodlands. Many thanks to Alice Farr and her  colleagues at the Woodland Trust for their help and hard work. Take a  look:







Do share this if you can – it will help raise awareness not just of  Teazle Wood but of woodland in general. The following comment is from  the Woodland Trust’s website:




Why woods matter





Woods, and the trees that make up a vital component of them, are  essential to life. They have a myriad of different benefits for both  wildlife and people.





They stabilise the soil, generate oxygen, store carbon, play  host to a spectacular variety of wildlife, provide us with raw materials  and shelter, inspire our imaginations and our creativity.





The almost magical, mystical quality of woods makes them a great  place for relaxation and recreation. A walk in the woods can give  anyone a feeling of peace and tranquility. Most of us have fond  childhood memories of playing on or around trees.





A world without trees and woods would be barren and bare.







Have a good weekend.




All the best




Lucy

Olympic Travel in London

The  final preparatory works on the Olympic Route Network (ORN) are underway  this weekend, so London’s road network will look and feel very  different by Monday morning. 


The ORN and Games Lanes restrictions will be apply from 0600 Wednesday 25 July. 


To watch a short video explaining how the ORN and Games Lanes work, please click here


















Olympic Route Network (ORN) explained 










The ORN is a road network linking Games venues and other key sites.  Normal traffic can use most of the ORN, although there will be temporary  changes such as suspended turns, stopping and loading restrictions and  changes to traffic signal timings. Stopping or parking on the ORN will  result in a £130 penalty charge and your vehicle may be towed away. 




























Games Lanes 










Some lanes on ORN roads will be reserved as Games Lanes and are for use  by athletes, officials and the world’s media. The vast majority of Games  Lanes are in outside lanes. In these cases, normal traffic can use the  adjacent lane(s). Driving in a Games Lane will result in a £130 penalty  charge. 




























When you can use Games Lanes 










Games Lanes will be very busy. They will be for the use of Games  vehicles only from 0600–midnight. If Games Lanes are less busy, they  will be switched off and electronic signs will indicate that normal  traffic can use them. 




























Olympic Torch Relay 










The Olympic Flame will be visiting every Borough in London this week.  Roads will be temporarily closed before it arrives and will be  exceptionally busy, particularly on Thursday 26 July. 


Please do not drive to see the Torch and consider watching in your local  area or close to your place of work. For more information, please visit  getaheadofthegames.com


























Yours sincerely,

As many will know, contracts have been signed. Grateful thanks to all Friends of Teazle Wood who have generously donated or pledged.





Whilst the largest piece of land is secure, £90,000 is still needed for the smaller piece of the wood. (If most of the people of Leatherhead donated £9, this amount would be met!) We have until July 31st to secure this.





All donations welcome. Could you please pass this on to anyone who may be able to help.





Why save Teazle Wood?:


• Last sizable block of woodland in Leatherhead teaming with wildlife • It forms a wildlife corridor between Bookham and Ashtead • Is a well loved green space for people of Leatherhead • Is a proven educational resource for local people and schools


• Has therapeutic value for Combat Stress and Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation • it has historical and archaeological significance • it is the home of many rare and endangered species • After being neglected for years it deserves the gentle management that numerous


groups would love to give it





Please send cheques now payable to: “Friends of Teazle Wood” to Lucy Quinnell, Rowhurst Forge, Oxshott Rd, Leatherhead, Surrey KT22 0EN.
