 What happens on a cold winter’s morning in Market Rasen? Whilst the rest of the country was either complaining about, or enjoying, the snow, a group of volunteers from the New Life Church of Market Rasen, led by Rhona Sheppard, had joined forces with the railway station support group, led by John Skelton, and were busily planting daffodil bulbs and apple trees, donated by the Rotary Club, on the land at the side of the station approach.
The New Life Church were runners up in the recent Rotary Environmental Award Competition, and Andrew Dalrymple, President of Rotary presented a cheque for £300.00 to James Burdett of the church youth group. They will use the money for further enhancement of the Market Rasen area, involving particularly the youth section and the Xstream section of the Church. Matilda Troughton, shown in the  picture, is a member of the Xstream team. The land had been pre-prepared by Rotarian Trevor Lyle, to make the work a little easier. Rotarian Harold Bates, chairman of the Rotary Environmental committee, was very pleased to see the enthusiasm, with which the work was being carried out, to further enhance the appearance of part of the town, for the benefit of all. |

They had all come together to share their wealth of experience with this year's team as well as catching up with one another since they last met in October 2008. Since that time Sarah (far left) in her capacity as a youth worker has become involved in the Hull KR Youth Project. Stephanie (middle) has been out to Ukraine to follow Rotary Shoeboxes as well as publicising Sarah's skype session between some youngsters in Hull with youngsters in Colombia. She has also written some editorial for the Horncastle News about 2009 team member Rachel Shaw. Meanwhile Fiona (right) has maintained contact with a hospital in Colombia where she was able to share her podiatry knowledge and skills with another medical professional. Fiona hopes to be able continue her help and support - more to be reported subject to final developments. As you can see from the photo all four of the team, who did not know each other before being selected have clearly developed some good friendships and are in the process of expanding on their experiences and contacts made in Colombia.
