SCOTT & SCOTT

Hi All,

We are offering Whole or Half Lambs.  Whole Lambs £220, Half Lambs £110.  The Lamb as always is grass fed from our Family Farms in Harringworth and Ayston.  The Lambs have been bred and raised on the farm.  They will be hung for flavour and tenderness, before being carefully butchered to suit your individual needs.

We will also have fresh lamb available on the 5th April.  If you would like to order a joint for Easter, I will be happy to store it here in our freezers for collection just before Easter, if that helps anyone.

Please order before Monday 24th March.

I will be sending out a poster for the Shop nearer the time, as always, any requests or questions please do not hesitate to contact me at any time on the number below and I will be pleased to help.

Kind Regards,
Sue Scott

PARISH COUNCIL NEWS

Dear All,

We had a good Parish Council meeting on Wednesday.  The next one in May is also the Parish AGM.  It would be lovely to see as many people as possible.

The village website has been updated, including news about working with Andrew Johnson and Giles Clifton, our ward councillors, to get information from the County which is relevant to the village and which can be passed onto everyone, as appropriate.
