Something new to try at event

The Town Hall was full of displays, information and smiling faces and the council now hopes to run a similar event in 2019.

The aim of this inaugural event was to give local people the chance to learn more about, and get involved in, some of the fantastic clubs, groups and charities based within the community.

It was an opportunity for residents thinking about joining a local organisation, sport or voluntary scheme to learn more before getting involved.

They might just like to try something different or just have wondered what there is to do in Sleaford.

There were teas and coffees available all day and the event was free for the organisations to take part on a first come, first served basis.

Groups on display including the Pro-Martial Arts kick boxing club, Evergreen befriending service, Sleaford Lions, the Parkinsons Support Group, Sleaford University of the Third Age, Sleaford South Federation WI, Sleaford Boys’ and Girls’ Brigades Sleaford Ukulele Strummers, Lincolnshire Bombers American Football, Sleaford Youth Centre, Sleaford Little Theatre, Sleaford Museum, Gideons, Sleaford Rugby Club, Sleaford Leisure Centre, Rotary Club of Sleaford and Pilgrim Bandits,.

* The Town Council is still taking free pitch bookings for this year’s popular St Denys’ Day and Harvest Festival Market.
