Sleaford Twinning: is it a Brexit "Antidote"?

I use the term Antidote (usually reserved for chemical/diseases etc) in the contect of Brexit.


I am merely illustrating the potentil effects of having a Twinning organisation that supports relations with like-minded groups in Europe (mainly France; Germany but expanding).


So here are some photographs and a short (very short) video of a gathering at the end of October in the New Life (Mareham Lane)  Churt who were providing the venu for a meal and presentations (and music). Three Councillors from Holdingham attended including the Mayor.

So what, if any, are the long-term benefits. Communication, communication, communiction is the answer. Our family links are within the UK and Far-East. It all helps.

Developing Holdingham Sleaford local Community Leisure Facilities!

Facebook has articles on it showing the latest apparatus for use by the local Community.

The Sleaford Town Council Facebook and the Sleaford Holdingham Ward are also highlighting it.

The Woodside Open Space has been underused for years but a head of steam appears to be building up.  Maybe helped by a growing population and the realisation that our National Lifestyle is making for an unhealthy society. I hope so! 

Here is the latest Gismo and assocaited play equipment: mainly for Children but the latest for an older population to use (if they wish). (The new fitness and exercise equipment that has been installed at Woodside Play Area. This equipment was chosen by the Town Council's Services and Assets Panel.)

Add Original and still there: but needs upgrading
Obviously not at the same level as the Boston Road Open Space (which is 3 times larger) but still a fair size. Hopefully events and maybe a small football pitch (5 a side) can be installed. The planting of trees has helped give "shape" to the Open Space.

Still Rome wasn't built in a day. There are boundaries issues (fencing) which needs investment for starters. But be sure predators may be lurking somewhere to meet their demands. Say no more!
