Farm Club

After a very successful summer of Farm Club, we are excited to be holding a weekly after school Farm Club! Over the summer, more than 30 kids had lots of fun learning how a working farm runs at the busiest time in a farmer’s calendar: harvest time! They got hands on with the pigs, alpacas and chickens, tended to the kitchen garden and went on trailer rides down the farm.

There are endless benefits to children attending farm club such as increased physical activity, improved social and communication skills, it develops children’s knowledge on farm to fork process and the environment, and also improves children’s mental and physical well-being and attention span! See our farm club/visits benefits sheet on the website!

We hope to see lots of faces there every Thursday during term time, and don’t forget your Children’s University passports!

Keep an eye out for information on more full day Farm Clubs during school holidays too!

Contact us on 07715 215718 or Caitlin@hallmarkfarming.co.uk to book your childs space!

Playground Update

 

E.C.W.A have successfully applied for a grant of £13,500 from North Lincolnshire Community Fund to undertake phase 1 of the Eastoft playground redevelopment.

To date the following have been completed:

  • Purchased and installed a Toddler Adventure Playground
  • Wood and bark have been cleared from the site
  • Baby swings have been repaired and replace
  • Junior swings have been repaired and replaced

It has also been a time of extensive liaison with Playdales (the original suppliers of the playground equipment) to replace timbers on the swings, log walk and chain rail that had rotted despite being well within the guarantee period!

The final parts of phase 1 will be to lay a concrete bed with matting at both the entrance to the playground and underneath the swings. This should improve the ground surface in wet weather and remove the need to, annually, top up the bark.

The remaining action will be to replace a porthole on the toddler adventure playground, which has been vandalised, and this will be done from E.C.W.A funds.

E.C.W.A would like to thank residents for their patience and co operation while these redevelopment activities at both the hall and playground are occurring.

In addition E.C.W.A would like to thank the following organisations and volunteers for their support over the last couple of years, behind the scenes, which has enabled us to reach this point today:

  • Eastoft Church of England Primary School
  • Eastoft Parish Council
  • Councillor Trevor Barker
  • Steve and Alan Brown
  • Sue and Mick Hartlebury
  • Mark Curry
  • Paul McCartan
  • William Castledine
  • Norman Bailey
  • Jeremy Hall

Village Hall Funding Success

 

  • E.C.W.A have successfully secured a grant of £5,289 from the Windfarm Community Fund. This money will be used to install double glazing and replace both the entrance and emergency exit door during this summer. This should then reduce heating costs at the hall, raise the level of warmth and improve access.
  • E.C.W.A will also, through it’s own funds, be replacing the fencing and gate access on the Yorkshireside of the hall, which were badly damaged in last winter’s storms.
