Woodhall Spa play park gets a boost - from Bardney!
The Billiards Club is winding up in its present form and has decided its assets should be passed on to other community-based charities.
Members agreed Woodhall Spa’s Jubilee Park, also a local charity, would be a very worthy recipient.

Park manager Joe Stanhope said: “This is another example of the support and generosity of organisations and individuals in the area.
“We’re absolutely delighted. We think we need between £5,000 and £10,000 to ‘seed fund’ a grant application we are making to raise the £40,000 we need.
“Already we have a £1,000 donation from GN Construction, £500 from the English Golf Union and a further £500 from the Wayneflete Charitable Trust, plus numerous smaller donations, such as £150 from the RAF Coningsby Thrift Shop, so we are well on track for hitting our target.”
