A trip to a Family Fun Day at The Poppleton Centre led to me having a lesson in garden bowls! Yes I have 10 pinned before and a bit of French Boules, but this is in a league of its own and not as easy as these guys make it! You need a good eye on the ball and a way of bowling long and straight. Being left handed, my attempt swung off to the right as I curve, my second bounced as if I was throwing a tennis ball and my third was a success (or fluke?) put it this way a 6 year old beat me! The activity was all part of the fun day and scarecrow hunt in the village. Everyone I saw there were really enjoying it all and making the most of the sunshine too.
Now onto the important stuff - The "Out Of Space Project" is raising funds to develop The Community Centre which is at the heart of Poppleton. The project is to extend their facilities for all the local groups to be able to enjoy the centre. They also want better areas with lift access. They have Charity status and are fundraising as much as they can to make this possible. If you would like to know more you can get in touch with centre manager Beth Kirkham on 01904 797478 or at info@poppletoncentre.org.uk
