The Editor's Letter
Hello and welcome to Summer! It will be strawberry season and Wimbledon before you know it! I have featured a letter below from Paula Davies who wishes to thank everyone who took part in the Big Easter Egg Hunt!
Thank you to all who entered the Big Easter Egg Hunt around the village and in Church during the 2 weeks before Easter, 27 children entered the fun!
Unfortunately not everyone could win, so we had a draw in church on Easter Sunday, to pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th winners.
First prize was a Book Token from Waterstones won by Zoe.
2nd prize was won by Jacob. 3rd prize was won by Jaxon. They each won a large Easter Egg! A 4th prize of chocolates was won by Paige. The Church was open for a few hours each day for the hunt. If you could not gain access, we are sorry. We would love to be able to open the church more often but we have very few volunteers these days and obviously are unable to leave the church open and unoccupied for security reasons.
We hope you had fun and all being well, will do it again next year!
I must also thank Paula’s Gifts and the Scout Shop for giving out and collecting the forms and all the businesses in Kirton for displaying the Easter Egg shapes in their windows again. Money raised goes towards the church restoration fund.
Paula Davies.
Our local communities supported the 80th anniversary of VE Day and I attended the celebratory Afternoon Tea at the Town Hall. This was incredibly well attended. The food was delicious and the entertainment took everyone down memory lane! A huge well done to Kirton Town Hall Management Committee for putting this on.
I hope you’re enjoying reading the reports from Jax’s Ark and I believe some curious ferrets have made an appearance this month! Kyle Sellars features in Meet the Locals and we hear from David Culley on Page 5 who bemoans about something I think we can all empathise with!
If you have anything you’d like to say, someone you’d like to thank, a poem or a puzzle you’d like to share, get in touch! I’m always contactable at Editor@kirtonnews.co.uk.
Take care of yourselves and each other.
