Camelot have today informed us that our Lottery terminal will be withdrawn within 6 months due to a decline in sales. As you can imagine this will be another huge blow to the shop! We would be very grateful if you could help us to try and save our Lottery terminal. Who knows you may become a millionaire in the process!
There are currently 3 ‘vacant’ numbers. Any takers for £1 per month … contact Sheila Robinson on 410 322
From the letters page of the Glenside News (December 2010) …
As Wayside Warden on three of the important verges in Holywell, I regularly collect the rubbish littered on them.
I have spent hours recently picking up a large amount of folded computer paper littering the verges from Holywell to Vale Farm crossroads. It is a soul destroying job and makes me very angry that such little consideration is given to the beautiful areas in which we live.
If this is a minor throwing paper from a car window – then adults should have more influence. If it is an adult, then words fail me. There is enough fast food litter to cope with besides this tedious addition – for the second year in succession!
All of the Opening and Food Service hours will remain the same throughout the festive season with the exception of …

Apologies in advance, we may not have even got Christmas out of the way yet, but we d like you to cast your minds forward to February, Saturday the 5th to be precise.
That’s the date to put in next year s diary for Castle Bytham’s biennial Burns Night Celebration. And in the tradition of those that have gone before it, a great night out is guaranteed. Bodgers Mate will again be providing the musical entertainment and there ll be some special guest spots as well, plus a suitably Scottish-themed sing-along.
The reason for such early warning is that this event gets booked up very quickly – in 2009 it was sold out nearly a month before the big day, to the consternation of many potential party-goers. To avoid suffering a similar disappointment we suggest you get your tickets asap – they are due to go on sale (priced at £14 each including a hearty supper) on December 1st and they ll be available from the Castle Bytham Village Stores, or you can ring (01780) 410957. If you are planning to bring a party of up to ten it’s even more crucial that you book early to secure your own table.
