East Links Newsletter 02/11/11
The lambing of our flock of 100 sheep has now been synchronised, this will provide a two-week lambing window. 'Lambing Live' will take place between 25th February and 11th March. To allow the shepherds to keep a watchful eye over their flock all the ewes will be brought indoors to lamb during this period. Everyone is welcome to come and watch this spectacular event, Educational groups will be able to tie this in with part of the curriculum and other visitors and families can see nature at its best.
To coincide with the 'Lambing Live' event will be the opening of our Education Barn and the addition of new play equipment out in the park. The old pirate ship will be replaced with a Buccaneer ship and rope swinger. A trim trail is also to be added and those of a more competitive nature can time themselves over this assault course.
The cafe licence has been taken on by David Cree and Mike Gulliver, who welcome your ideas and feedback on their up and coming menu changes. Good luck to David and Elaine from the café who are off to have their first child.
