The Home Guard
Can you help ?
My name is Erik Gregg. I am presently writing a book about the Lincolnshire Home Guard and I am acutely aware that the Isle of Axholme always sadly seems to get a bit lost when people discuss the whole county.
Do you know of anything to do with the unit or the Home Guard generally in Eastoft?
All I seem to know at present is the unit covering the Isle of Axholme which was the 3rd Lindsey Battalion under Colonel Reynolds.
Can you help and point me in the direction of anyone who knew more.

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.
All these fun activities will take place every Thursday throughout term time from 3:45-4:45. We will be walking children from Eastoft Primary to save parents having to drop them off as we are so close. We are hoping parents from local villages will be able to make the short journey and maybe club together to journey share!
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!
Community Champions

Until the end of November, Community Champions benefits a wide range of local community groups, charities and organisations in your area.
Every time a member shops in a Lincolnshire Co-op outlet, a donation will be made through the scheme. Staff fundraising and the carrier bag levy will also go into the pot.
You’ll find a list of all the groups below – and it will also be displayed on the totem stands in your outlets. And of course, just check your receipt to see who you’ll be helping!
