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!

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.


Please include name: address, telephone number, e- mail, & whether you would like to remain anonymous or whether you are happy to be named (amounts will not be disclosed unless you’d like.

					Posted on   by  				

			
		


					

				







Starting:               8th March 2012 and every Thursday until               November






Music on Thursdays, a season             of free lunchtime concerts, runs from 8th March,             every Thursday until November. Concerts start at 12.30pm and             last 40-50 minutes.


  


Parish Church Master of Music, Graham             Davies commented: “We have invited a selection of musicians             to perform in Leatherhead. They include local musicians,             professionals from further afield, and Royal Academy of             Music students – quite an array of talent.”




The first concert in the Church, on           March 8th, features Royal Academy students Midori           Komachi, violin, with accompanist Carlos Guerrero. The           following week sees performances by musicians from St John’s           School, Leatherhead. 




After that comes the first monthly           organ concert using the both church’s digital organ and the           historic 17thC Parker pipe organ.




As the season continues we hear a           bassoon ensemble, solo singers, a pair of tubas, and           combinations of string and wind instruments. 




We’re attaching a poster which shows           the first three months or this year’s programme. Please do           forward this to friends. If you have a place to display the           poster that would be a lovely way to support the venture.




There is level access to Leatherhead           Parish Church, and toilet facilities in the church hall. Entry           to concerts is free. Contributions to help cover costs will be           welcome.

THE LETHERHEAD INSTITUTE CELEBRATES 120 YEARS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY IN 2012


							

					Posted on   by  				

			
		


					

				


The Letherhead Institute at the top of the High Street was built in 1892 and given to the people of Leatherhead by local benefactor Abraham Dixon of Cherkley Court. Next year sees the commemoration of 120 years providing educational, social and recreational facilities within this beautiful Victorian building.


Amazingly the Institute had already been there for 5 years when Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee and it will be bedecked again next year to mark the Diamond Jubilee of our own Queen Elizabeth II.


The festivities on 19 May will include an invitation for all the Leatherhead Community to come and see what’s inside the building; a special feature will be an exhibition including pictures and artefacts from 1897 – Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee Year.


Do you have any Victorian memorabilia or photographs which you would be prepared to lend for the exhibition? We’d be delighted to hear from you at LCA2 AT btconnect DOT com or please write to:

Olympic Test Event Final Drop-In Session


							

					Posted on   by  				

			
		


					

				
Dear All


This is just a reminder that the final drop-in session for the Olympic Cycle race test event on Sunday 14 August is happening this Friday  – 29th July at Park House in Leatherhead. The session runs from 3pm to 8pm and is an opportunity for anyone  to pop in and ask questions about road closures, crowd management, footpaths, access or whatever is of interest/concern to residents and/or businesses. Representatives from the District Council (me!), the County Council, Transport for London and LOCOG should be there.


Please do encourage as many people as possible to come in and ask any questions they may have. For those who cannot make it, Surrey County Council have  a dedicated website for the Olympic Games at www.gosurrey.info which contains a wealth of information and there is some more generic information, including information on how to volunteer for next year’s races, on the District Council website. Please follow this link:


www.molevalley.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=10638


These pages will be updated and added to as we move forward towards the main events next year.

Dear All


This is to let you know that Mole Valley District Council has been allocated 460 tickets for residents to watch the London-Surrey Cycle Classic from the coveted zig-zag area on Box Hill. We will be allocating a small number to Headley Court and the rest will be available for residents to apply for through a competition.


The competition goes live tomorrow at approximately 12 noon (possibly slightly earlier). It will be online at www.mole-valley.gov.uk and hard copy forms will be available at the Leatherhead HelpShop and Pippbrook reception. Terms and Conditions apply. The closing date is 12 noon on 27 July, after which time winners will be picked from all correct entries, where Terms and Conditions have been agreed to and contact details supplied.


Please encourage your residents to apply, as long as they are willing to commit to coming and recognise that it is a long walk from the station or a car park to the zig-zag area!


Kind regards


Louise
