Ploughed On Despite Snow.

Posted in News, Societies, Sport on Tuesday April 8, 2008| Leave a Comment »

Our thanks to Di Turnbull for submitting this article.

Following the resurfacing and refurbishment of the hard play area on Parsons Croft, the P.A.R.C. committee arranged a working group to complete maintenance tasks, before the official reopening on 20th April 2008, at 11a.m.

What we didn’t expect was a fall of snow that very morning!

Undeterred, we all met, completing the necessary repairs. This involved replacing some of the posts and boards and beginning to form a planted area on the perimeter path.

It turned out to be a beautiful sunny morning. We worked hard but also had lots of fun. In four hours, the job was done. Amazing what can be achieved with a few tools, some cement, a bit of muscle and a packet of chocolate biscuits!

Thanks go particularly to the Tennis Club, whose members made up the majority of the volunteer workforce.

We all look forward to using this superb village facility in the years to come.

Pilates for life

Pilates is an invigorating form of exercise for your mind and body that can improve your strength, flexibility and overall mobility. It helps restore your body to balance. As a result, your posture will change and you will move more efficiently. You’ll achieve a strong core, develop longer, leaner muscles and improve your overall sense of well-being. And, if you are a sports enthusiast, Pilates can help improve your game. Pilates is a safe and effective exercise method that will enable you to look – and feel – your very best. Best of all, because it gives you such a wonderful sense of well-being, you’ll want to do Pilates for the rest of your life. Pilates Foundation

Thank you to Rebecca for her work in finding a qualified instructor & organising the classes.

It is our aim that this site will serve the same communities that the Memorial Hall was set up to serve, so we have been creating sections on the neighbouring hamlets. However it is necessary that people in those communities get involved. We now have a page for Pikehall, click here to see it. Do post any comments or suggestions for expanding it, and email to parwich@hotmail.co.uk any photos of the hamlet, the harness racing or the surrounding area that can be put on the page(s).

Flagg Races is unique as a point-to-point course, in that it is the only remaining point-to-point meeting to run the Hunt Members’ race over natural hunting country.

The geography of the racecourse is perfect for the thousands of spectators who attend, with hilltop parking and well situated spectator areas.

In addition to the thrilling point-to-pointing, there are food outlets, trade stands, a licensed bar, TOTE and bookmakers for anyone who fancies a punt.

Admission to the course is £10 per adult, and free to all under-16s. Car parking is free, and the gates and car parks will be open from 11.00am.

For full details, visit the Flagg Races website.
