<strong>Lynton</strong> Fire Station cuts - Public meeting on 7 th August<br />
Over 150 people nearly filled the main<br />
floor of <strong>Lynton</strong> Town Hall at a public<br />
meeting to hear about <strong>and</strong> plan action<br />
on the proposed cuts to fire cover in<br />
the <strong>Lynton</strong> area. The meeting was<br />
opened by <strong>Lynton</strong> Mayor, Chris Sleep,<br />
who introduced the other two speakers,<br />
District Councillor John Patrinos, <strong>and</strong><br />
Chris Hope, Watch Manager at <strong>Lynton</strong> Fire Station.<br />
DSFRS had produced a glossy <strong>and</strong> detailed report explaining their reasoning for the cuts.<br />
However, the way in which statistics were accounted gave a very misleading<br />
representation of the work of smaller rural stations. Only attendance at statutory<br />
incidents, house fires <strong>and</strong> road traffic accidents were counted. In a rural area, fire crews<br />
might be called upon to deal with heath fires or rescue trapped animals or assist coast<br />
guard in cliff rescue. None of these counted towards the station statistics. Chris Hope<br />
used an example, during a period <strong>Lynton</strong> had attended 47 incidents, but only 3 would<br />
qualify as counting to station use. Other events not counted were when crews attended<br />
incidents out of their designated area or were simply st<strong>and</strong>ing by at adjacent stations. In<br />
a recent event, <strong>Lynton</strong> were called to st<strong>and</strong> by at Minehead while their crews, <strong>and</strong><br />
Porlock, were dealing with a fire at Butlins.<br />
The proposal is that <strong>Lynton</strong> should lose its second appliance which is a four wheel drive<br />
<strong>and</strong> capable of going off road <strong>and</strong> reaching remote moorl<strong>and</strong> fires. At Porlock where it is<br />
proposed to close the station, in addition to the main appliance there is a pump based<br />
on a L<strong>and</strong> Rover body <strong>and</strong> a groundhog type vehicle, both capable of reaching remote<br />
areas <strong>and</strong> dealing with heath fires. Therefore the implementation of the cuts would<br />
remove all heath <strong>and</strong> moorl<strong>and</strong> fire fighting capability in the North <strong>Exmoor</strong> area.<br />
Proposed changes at other stations would have a knock on effect at <strong>Lynton</strong>, notably<br />
closure at Woolacombe <strong>and</strong> reduction of cover from Ilfracombe, <strong>and</strong> downgrading<br />
Barnstaple night cover to retained only. Chris Hope produced a chart which showed how<br />
increased response <strong>and</strong> travel times would affect the ability to back up <strong>Lynton</strong> in the<br />
event of a major incident. Audience went on to discuss what action they could take to<br />
oppose the cuts. No senior members of DSFRS had been prepared to attend <strong>and</strong> answer<br />
questions from the public, indeed it was commented they had been reluctant to attend a<br />
number of public meetings. Audience was encouraged to respond to the DSFRS on-line<br />
questionnaire, write to local MP Peter Heaton-Jones, <strong>and</strong> most usefully, write to<br />
individual members of the Devon <strong>and</strong> Somerset Fire Authority which was a committee<br />
who would have the final decision on the cuts. They had little personal knowledge of the<br />
special problems of remote rural areas <strong>and</strong> were likely to accept the statistics <strong>and</strong><br />
reasoning of the DSFRS. It was important they were made fully aware of the possible<br />
consequences <strong>and</strong> a list of their names <strong>and</strong> addresses was distributed after the meeting.<br />

10 SEPTEMBER <strong>2019</strong><br />
Back to school<br />
Dear Readers<br />
I hope you had an enjoyable summer. With the kids heading back to school (that time<br />
when most parents breathe a sigh of relief) <strong>and</strong> teachers returning from their more<br />
than well-earned rest, I thought I would talk about apps which can help you <strong>and</strong> your<br />
children.<br />
Technology is now common place in schools with the next generation using gadgets<br />
<strong>and</strong> apps to help with all aspects of their education. If you think your children are<br />
carrying too much in the way of books <strong>and</strong> equipment then this one may be for you.<br />
myHomework Student Planner is exactly what it says <strong>and</strong> although it is free (but with<br />
adverts) you can upgrade <strong>and</strong> have a full version without adverts. For organising most<br />
aspects of homework, note taking, events, planning <strong>and</strong> much more, it is a versatile<br />
tool to keep you <strong>and</strong> your children organised.<br />
Photomath is a h<strong>and</strong>y app for not just maths but also science <strong>and</strong> engineering. It can<br />
solve equations etc, but more importantly can show you solution to these problems.<br />
Some would class it as cheating but if you are learning how to solve problems this one<br />
may be useful.<br />
Khan Academy is a repository of interactive tutorials <strong>and</strong> videos aimed at helping<br />
students gain a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of subjects. It is very easy to use <strong>and</strong> another<br />
great free app.<br />
DuoLingo If you have a child in secondary school most probably they will be learning<br />
another language <strong>and</strong> DuoLingo is an easy <strong>and</strong> intuitive app to help, there are over<br />
thirty different languages available. It teaches new words, sentences, grammar <strong>and</strong><br />
then tests the student on their recall by a scheduled plan. Each section targets<br />
weaknesses to help gain better knowledge.<br />
There are many apps out there both paid for <strong>and</strong> free, <strong>and</strong> aimed to help students<br />
achieve better results. Make sure to read the reviews as this is mostly a sure indication<br />
of what people think <strong>and</strong> how good the app is, but always take the reviews with a pinch<br />
of salt. Good <strong>and</strong> bad reviews are generally clear.<br />
As always any questions please let me know, that’s Andy at ICT@lyntonadvertiser.com<br />

medical conditions as below, are very overweight, are living in a long-stay residential care home or<br />
other long-stay care facility, receive a carer’s allowance, or are the main carer for an elderly or<br />

another day will be required for the third vaccine. Please contact the Health Centre on 01598 753226<br />
to book your appointment as we DO NOT send out invitations for the Flu Vaccinations.<br />
Chemist Issues We are receiving an increasing number of complaints relating to the service <strong>and</strong><br />
availability of items at <strong>Lynton</strong> Chemist <strong>and</strong> would ask that you to take up any issues with them first.<br />
We can assure everyone we work very closely with the chemist <strong>and</strong> the GP’s are advised when there is<br />
a national shortage of any medications <strong>and</strong> if this is the case we will do our best to supply an<br />
alternative. However, please ensure that you check BEFORE leaving the chemist that the items are for<br />
you, are the correct dose <strong>and</strong> the medications you have ordered, <strong>and</strong> that you need them all. It is too<br />
late to correct once you have left the chemist's premises. Don’t forget you need to order your<br />
medications at least two working days before you wish to collect them <strong>and</strong> this can be done using our<br />
online service or ticking the boxes on your repeat slip <strong>and</strong> dropping them into us. Please ensure you<br />
add your name, address <strong>and</strong> date of birth <strong>and</strong> the full name <strong>and</strong> dose of the required medication. Also<br />
if you are asking for medications early please ensure you have made a note on the repeat request to<br />
say why they are required early as any early request more than seven days before they are due will be<br />
rejected.<br />
Prescribing Guidance Patients are advised as per guidance from NHS Engl<strong>and</strong>, that GP’s will no<br />
longer be able to provide an NHS prescription for the treatment of the following conditions but will<br />
direct patients to purchase over the counter medicines from the Pharmacy. If, as a result of taking<br />
these, the condition has not improved the GP will consider what alternatives are available. A selflimiting<br />
condition which does not require any medical advice or treatment as it will clear up on its own<br />
eg sore throats, coughs, colds <strong>and</strong> viruses, a minor illness suitable for self-care <strong>and</strong> can be treated<br />
with items purchased from a pharmacy. These conditions include indigestion, mouth ulcers, warts &<br />
verrucae, acute sore throat, infant colic, mild to moderate hay fever, conjunctivitis, infrequent cold<br />
sores of the lip, mouth ulcers, coughs, colds <strong>and</strong> nasal congestion, infrequent constipation, nappy<br />
rash, cradle cap, infrequent migraine, oral thrush, d<strong>and</strong>ruff, insect bites <strong>and</strong> stings, prevention of<br />
tooth decay, diarrhoea (adults), mild acne, ringworm / athletes foot, dry eyes / sore tired eyes, minor<br />

Lyn Defibrillator Fund<br />
On Monday 12 th August the Lyn Defibrillator Fund took delivery of the first four AEDs.<br />
This was made possible because of the astounding generosity of the residents,<br />
businesses, clubs <strong>and</strong> associations of the Lyn Valley.<br />
Thank you to the Lyn Community Bookshop, Lyn Lions, Lyn Community Development<br />
Trust, Lyn Electrics, Cliff Railway, Di Mitchell in memory of Bob, Lyn Valley Classic, River<br />
Class <strong>Lynton</strong> School, St Austell Brewery, Barbrook Filling Station, Sheepskin Shop,<br />
Vanilla Pod, Coffee Mill, Cottage Inn, Heatherville <strong>and</strong> the residents of the of the Lyn<br />
Valley area for the numerous donations, for which we cannot name you all, <strong>and</strong> of<br />
course the many anonymous donations.<br />
Thank you also to Richard Oaten <strong>and</strong> SWAST (South West Ambulance Service Trust)<br />
who have also helped to make this happen, <strong>and</strong> also to Helen Purrington-Bolton for<br />
kindly taking these pictures.<br />
We will be installing the four new AEDs as soon as possible but are still a little way from<br />
our total <strong>and</strong> need a final push so that the second batch of four AEDs can be<br />
purchased. With the response we have received so far we are sure the target will be<br />
reached soon to enable the final four to be ordered. We will soon publicise where they<br />
will be located <strong>and</strong> details of a training session in <strong>September</strong> so please follow the<br />
Facebook link below.<br />

<strong>Lynmouth</strong> Electricity Station<br />
The water-powered<br />
electricity generating station<br />
was the work of a local<br />
engineer, Charles Geen.<br />
The station began to operate<br />
in 1890 <strong>and</strong> relied on the<br />
fast flowing East Lyn River to<br />
drive the turbines, the water<br />
arriving at the station via a<br />
leat <strong>and</strong> pipeline.<br />
However, by 1895 dem<strong>and</strong> was outstripping<br />
supply at certain times <strong>and</strong> a pumped storage<br />
system was installed to ease this pressure<br />
The generating station was badly damaged by the<br />
flood in 1952 (see photograph) <strong>and</strong> the reservoir<br />
has been demolished, leaving the leat as the only<br />
part to have survived in anything like a<br />
reasonable state of preservation. The leat<br />
provides a visual reminder of this early period in<br />
the generation of electrical power in Engl<strong>and</strong>.<br />

Police are advising parents to ensure their<br />
children are safe online <strong>and</strong> to follow simple<br />
safety tips. If your child uses a chat room or<br />
chat line, ask them to tell you if anyone says<br />
or writes something which makes them feel<br />
uncomfortable <strong>and</strong> to tell you immediately if<br />
they see or hear bad language or pictures on<br />

the Don’t internet. drive whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs The best advice is not one for the road, it’s<br />
none for the road! Contrary to popular belief, sleep, drinking coffee, taking a shower or eating a full<br />
English breakfast do NOT eliminate alcohol from your system. One hour per unit plus another hour from<br />
the last drink you had is a guide. If you are aware of someone breaking the law then report it with us<br />
much detail as possible 101@dc.police.uk. *If someone is at immediate risk of causing harm through<br />
drink or drug driving, call 999.* You can now be tested for the presence of cocaine or cannabis instantly<br />
at the roadside with a simple mouth swab. If you are convicted of driving under the influence of drugs,<br />
then: minimum 1 year driving ban, unlimited fine, up to 6 months in prison, criminal record #NoExcuse.<br />
Road signs are a key indicator of rules of the road, road conditions, what is nearby <strong>and</strong> potential<br />
hazards you may encounter. They give you important information so it’s imperative you learn what they<br />
mean <strong>and</strong> what to do when you see them. Unfortunately there are not always enough officers on duty to<br />
be present at every Road Closure so if you come across a ROAD CLOSED sign with red <strong>and</strong> white cones<br />
going across part or across the whole of the road DO NOT go past. Police do not close roads unless<br />
absolutely necessary <strong>and</strong> if you do go past a ROAD CLOSED sign you could be reported.<br />
Be smart, be safe <strong>and</strong> plan ahead Devon <strong>and</strong> Cornwall Police are urging new students taking up<br />
residence in the region’s university cities <strong>and</strong> towns to think about what they can do to make<br />
themselves less vulnerable to criminals <strong>and</strong> plan ahead to consider their own personal safety <strong>and</strong><br />
belongings. Devon <strong>and</strong> Cornwall Police advise the following: Walk in well lit, well used areas where there<br />
are lots of people. Always stay alert. Think about how you’ll be getting home before you go out. If you use<br />
a taxi make sure it is licensed <strong>and</strong> if the taxi driver doesn’t know your name, don’t get in. Always carry<br />
your mobile, make sure it is charged <strong>and</strong> you have enough credit. If you look <strong>and</strong> act drunk, you are more<br />
vulnerable. Friends look after each other. Make sure your mates know where you’re going. Remember to<br />
call 999 in emergencies or 101 in non-emergencies. For more information: https://www.devoncornwall.police.uk/prevention-<strong>and</strong>-advice/your-personal-safety/<br />

New foodie fundraiser for<br />
Children’s Hospice South West<br />
Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW) is asking<br />
people to get creative in the kitchen <strong>and</strong> take part<br />
in a month of foodie fundraising this October. The<br />
charity is urging supporters to host a Cook Eat<br />
Give event for friends <strong>and</strong> family <strong>and</strong> ask guests<br />
to make a donation in return.<br />
The new fundraising initiative will help CHSW<br />
support more than 500 children with life-limiting<br />
conditions <strong>and</strong> their families at its three children’s hospices across the South West,<br />
including at Little Bridge House in Fremington, North Devon. Mealtimes are a big part of<br />
life at the charity’s three children’s hospices. During their short stays at the hospice, all<br />
families eat lunch <strong>and</strong> dinner together around a large dining table alongside hospice<br />
staff. For many families, eating a hot, home cooked meal together is a rarity due to the<br />
care dem<strong>and</strong>s on parents alongside their hectic routines. Families forge relationships<br />
with staff <strong>and</strong> other families also supported by the hospice during mealtimes, while<br />

The Convent in <strong>Lynton</strong> “We have new sisters, they are here at the moment <strong>and</strong> busy<br />
cleaning, it is a monumental task. They move in permanently on August 1st. Unlike the Poor Clares<br />
they are not enclosed so they will be seen out <strong>and</strong> about in the area. They are Sisters of Mary<br />
Morning Star, the website to find out about them is www.mariastellamatutina.com. Initially there will<br />
be five sisters. They are young, energetic, joyful, amazing vocalists <strong>and</strong> we feel very blessed to have<br />
them come to us. There will be a new priest coming in the near future too. Fr Guy De Gaynesford.<br />
I do hope the wider community will make them all feel very welcome. ….”<br />
We included the above email from Councillor Andrea Davis on our <strong>Advertiser</strong> Facebook page <strong>and</strong><br />

So wonderful for <strong>Lynton</strong> to hear this news. Having these lovely ladies as part of our community<br />
will restore an integral part of our village.<br />
Great news to see the convent back being used properly after so long! Looking forward to<br />
seeing the new sisters making good use of their new home <strong>and</strong> community.<br />
Thank you very much for the Fantastic News. I used to love the Convent <strong>and</strong> visit the previous<br />
Sisters each week <strong>and</strong> hope to visit the new Sisters there too.<br />
Wonderful, I’m so pleased that the Convent will come back to life. I remember the Poor Clares<br />
when I was a child. There were 2 of them who used to go shopping, the Irish one always used<br />
to talk to me <strong>and</strong> called me by name. The other Nun didn’t used to speak but always had a<br />
lovely smile on her face. I hope that the new Sisters will like <strong>and</strong> enjoy <strong>Lynton</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Lynmouth</strong>.<br />
Mum used to take us to church at the Convent from time to time, she was brought up as a<br />
Catholic until her Mum fell out with the Priest for some reason. We also went to the Methodist<br />
<strong>and</strong> Congregational churches sometimes even though we were Church of Engl<strong>and</strong>. Every<br />
church leads to the same place in the end.<br />
Excellent news – from an annual visitor xx<br />
Good news that the convent will remain a convent <strong>and</strong> that the garden will eventually be<br />
restored. Common sense seems to have prevailed for once. My sister got married at the<br />
convent in 1980, the nuns sang Amazing Grace from the gallery <strong>and</strong> it was, truly amazing. A<br />
special place.<br />
Pleased that there are new Sisters <strong>and</strong> a priest coming to <strong>Lynton</strong>. So happy the Convent will be<br />
open again. Wishing them all the very best.<br />
Really good news for <strong>Lynton</strong> & <strong>Lynmouth</strong>.<br />
Wonderful news for <strong>Lynton</strong>. Prayers assured.<br />
Great news, look forward to meeting them.<br />
Looking forward to seeing the sisters out <strong>and</strong> about. Welcome to <strong>Lynton</strong>.<br />
So glad there will be nuns in the convent <strong>and</strong> in the church again. Memories of my own first<br />
holy communion <strong>and</strong> family funerals as well as catechism with a very patient Sister Fidelias.<br />
So pleased <strong>and</strong> happy to see this.<br />
I hope the Sisters will be very happy in <strong>Lynton</strong>, it will be so good to see the Convent open<br />
again.<br />
I met Father Guy a few weeks ago, a very nice gentleman.<br />
Wonderful news.<br />
This is so good to see.<br />
So glad it’s going to be put to good use.<br />
Wonderful news, good luck to you all.<br />
This is lots of folks prayers answered.<br />
Wonderful wonderful news.<br />
God bless everyone. Amen<br />
That is so good to hear. Good luck to u all.<br />

‘What a wonderful world’ – Thomas Cameron started<br />
the concert singing that, <strong>and</strong> went on to sing many<br />
more songs from popular shows. Kate Robey<br />
accompanied him beautifully on our church piano.<br />
In between songs Cameron told us anecdotes about his<br />
singing career. We had a very appreciative audience<br />
<strong>and</strong> I’m glad Pam Pile was able to attend. The Robey<br />
family stayed with Pam <strong>and</strong> Joe for many years when<br />
they ran the Lorna Doone in <strong>Lynmouth</strong>.<br />
In October once again the TWO MOORS FESTIVAL will<br />
offer concerts in venues across <strong>Exmoor</strong> <strong>and</strong> Dartmoor<br />
from 11-20 October. As this is a special anniversary<br />
year for the publication of RD Blackmore’s LORNA<br />
DOONE, there will be a concert of words <strong>and</strong> music in<br />
All Saints’Church, Dulverton on 12 th October. I have<br />
distributed copies of the festival brochure to the TIC<br />
<strong>and</strong> Arts & Crafts <strong>and</strong> you may also find them on the<br />
table at the back of the church.<br />

Two Moors Festival <strong>2019</strong><br />
With one year to go before it hits its twentieth birthday,<br />
the Two Moors Festival is now more than a force to be<br />
reckoned with in Britain’s classical music events.<br />
By its very quirky nature of taking world-class artists into<br />
tiny venues such as Culbone Church or venturing to the<br />
top of Dunkery Beacon with a Scottish piper in tow, it<br />
reaches out to a diverse audience wishing to feast on<br />
William Byrd one moment <strong>and</strong> the Bonny Banks of Loch<br />
Lomond a few hours later, with a bit of Beethoven along<br />
the way.<br />
<strong>Exmoor</strong> is in for a treat this year with a dinner concert<br />
taking place in Dunster’s Tithe Barn. Here the mouthwatering<br />
feast will be complemented with a delicious musical programme of Mozart,<br />
Gershwin <strong>and</strong> Stephen Sondheim to be performed by Spanish soprano, Lorena Paz <strong>and</strong><br />
baritone, Malachy Frame.<br />
Dunster’s Church, with its good acoustics, is the ideal place for the Young Musicians<br />
winners recital. Incidentally, these are not your average teenage instrumentalists for<br />
they are of a st<strong>and</strong>ard comparable to BBC Young Musician of the Year finalists. DO go<br />
as they deserve as much support as possible. Flautists, a violinist, oboist <strong>and</strong> cellist are<br />
in the impressive line-up.<br />
Not to be out done, Dulverton features just as strongly. A good mix of concerts are on<br />
offer too – chamber music, organ as well as piano recitals (the last given by Imogen<br />
Cooper) <strong>and</strong> a late night ‘gig’ with the talented accordion player, Iosif Purits, are on the<br />
list.<br />
Dulverton is a favourite destination for concert-goers <strong>and</strong> in spite of the church pews<br />
that give sitters full marks for straight backs, people flock to this gem of a little town<br />
nestling in the heart of <strong>Exmoor</strong>. With collaboration between members of Dulverton’s<br />
Traders’ Association <strong>and</strong> the Festival’s Administrator, Sarah Vertigan, there is<br />
increasing community involvement. There is no denying the fact that local businesses<br />
benefit from the influx of visitors.<br />
The festival takes place in October. It certainly lives up to its slogan ‘Extraordinary<br />
Music in Remarkable Places’. If you like classical music performed at the highest level,<br />
then this annual event is a must. Visitors won’t be disappointed, that’s for sure!<br />

Congratulations to all the talented cast <strong>and</strong> creatives from Pleasure Dome Open Air<br />
Theatre Company who helped celebrate the 150 th anniversary of Lorna Doone by<br />
bringing some spectacular evening shows to the Valley of Rocks during August.<br />
‘Darianna <strong>and</strong> the Lodgers' got everyone hoppin' an' boppin' at the 'Village Inn' the other<br />
night; just as they did a couple of weeks before at the Maritime Festival. Many locals had<br />
enjoyed that night so they were well up for another dose of refreshingly different music<br />
played by five great musician/singers. Darianna herself is an awesome sight as she belts<br />
out song after song with her excellent, powerful voice <strong>and</strong> her squeeze-box. She yanks <strong>and</strong><br />
squeezes the thing with such vigour <strong>and</strong> skill that I presumed her uninhibited style owed<br />
much to the precaution that Boudicca-like she wore an iron breastplate. She also played,<br />
though not simultaneously, rhythm guitar. It was a lovely warm night <strong>and</strong>, the bar being<br />
fairly full, many people gathered in the street outside. The large crowd included many<br />
holidaymakers <strong>and</strong> the singing along <strong>and</strong> the dancing showed just what fun this<br />
community can have. Bev tells me she has several great acts arranged for the next few<br />
weeks so it's up to us all to give our full support when our venues go to the expense of<br />
providing us with entertainment. Let’s get together <strong>and</strong> ensure that the fun goes on well<br />
past the end of the season.<br />

young people. This presents a unique <strong>and</strong> difficult challenge for our villages, given the<br />
very special setting <strong>and</strong> glorious backdrop set in the heart of <strong>Exmoor</strong>.<br />
The only open area in <strong>Lynton</strong> is currently the site of the bowling <strong>and</strong> tennis courts<br />
complex.<br />
Already a local group has approached the North Devon District Council with proposals<br />
to acquire <strong>and</strong> build on the area.<br />
Is this really the spot for a housing development? Are there better opportunities that<br />
would not result in the loss of the village’s only green amenity area? Should we look<br />
for a better option that would not result in the loss of one of our only open spaces?<br />
Lydiate Lodge is lying empty <strong>and</strong> is an example of a site that could be used to provide<br />
homes for our youngsters without the loss of valuable community amenities. It is vital<br />
that local people have their say on the future of any development proposals for our<br />
Community. Please make your views known to local councillors, the North Devon<br />
Council <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Exmoor</strong> National Park Authority.<br />
Councillor Rodney Cann<br />

46 SEPTEMBER <strong>2019</strong><br />
News from the <strong>Exmoor</strong> Pony Centre<br />
Ashwick, Dulverton TA22 9QE<br />
Despite a month of mixed <strong>and</strong> sometimes pretty hairy weather there was still plenty<br />
going on at the Pony Centre with trekking, taster sessions, a Teddy Bear’s Picnic <strong>and</strong><br />
summer cream tea afternoons. With the holiday season in full swing, activity days<br />
were held every Thursday throughout August with all the usual riding activities plus<br />
delicious cream teas served in the Green Room.<br />
We are delighted the Pony Centre has been accepted as a Learning Destination for<br />
the Children’s University so we hope those of you who are members will come <strong>and</strong><br />
meet our <strong>Exmoor</strong> Ponies, challenge yourself on our Interactive Quiz Board, <strong>and</strong> earn a<br />
stamp for your passport.<br />
We had a very successful visit from 18 children from St Dubricius First School in<br />
Porlock. The outing was a surprise present for them as they were leaving to go up to<br />
Middle School <strong>and</strong> they had a really enjoyable time riding, grooming <strong>and</strong> learning<br />
about the ponies.<br />
MMT were invited to be at the National<br />
Park's 70 th birthday Picnic celebration<br />
at Simonsbath on 17 th July. Linzi,<br />
Louise, Lydia <strong>and</strong> Barry manned our<br />
st<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> chatted to HRH the Duchess<br />
of Cornwall when she came over to say<br />
hello to our ponies, Rama <strong>and</strong> Tom.<br />
Activities available at ALL the events at<br />
the Centre are:<br />
Pony Rides (the minimum age for riding<br />
