Fourteen walkers (wheelchair/buggies too) including seven children enjoyed the May walk around Ostler's Plantation. The weather was absolutely gorgeous. We had some funny moments when we were inadvertantly 'caught up' in the area cordoned off for an archery contest. We did not realise until someone spoke to us, concerned that we might disturb the animals they had carefully laid out. No one got shot and we had a laugh about it! The bouncing tree is still in place!

June 23rd will be a local Billinghay walk followed by a social. Do join us from 4pm. All are welcome back to our afterwards.

May 19th Family Walk

Just a reminder. We're leaving the mosaic at 4pm to meet up with anyone else who would like to join us at Ostler's Plantation (link on the right, under 'Walks & Nature'). Come prepared with wellies, cagoules and appropriate wet weather gear to ensure that you STAY DRY just in case this rainy weather makes a showing.

See you on Saturday afternoon, folks!

Neighbourhood Fix-it

This is one of the most useful things I have seen in a long time. One of the creators was interviewed on BBC Radio Lincolnshire this week and clearly has a vision for communities to be enjoyed. Fits in perfectly with our philosophy here at billinghay connect:

Listen to local radio online.

Report, view, or discuss local problems like graffiti, fly tipping, broken paving slabs, or street lighting. The website redirects the email to the correct department in the relevant authority to be dealt with. Amazing.

USE IT!
