Community News Are you interested in getting more involved in your local community? Haxey Memorial Hall is at the centre of the village, is used by many groups and is run by volunteers. We usually meet on the first Thursday every other month for about an hour and a half and our meetings are fairly informal! We would really welcome some new faces to our team so if you have a little time to spare and are interested in joining us or, in the first instance, finding out what we do then please come along to our
A.G.M. at 7 o’clock in the Hood Room at the Hall on Thursday 3rd May. We look forward to seeing you there!
Isle Group of the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust Thursday April 5th Members annual photographic night This is always a popular evening when anyone can bring along a small selection of photographs to share with the group and tell the story behind them. These can be on any topic which interests you, not necessarily to do with wildlife. It could be an interesting place you have visited or something you have seen, either locally or further afield, you just need to bring them on a memory stick. There will also be a very short AGM beforehand. Unfortunately due to the snowy weather the March meeting had to be cancelled but we hope to arrange for Charlie Barnes to tell us about beetles at a later stage.
All our indoor meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month in the Stephen Jones Hall at the rear of the Methodist Chapel in Haxey on Low Street at 7.30pm. We look forward to seeing all regular members and new visitors, everyone is welcome. There is a small charge of £1 and there is a raffle and refreshments. Don’t forget that bird food is always on sale at our indoor meetings and at Chris Trinder's house in Belton, at very competitive prices, just ring if you need anything. For further information about the local Trust group and their meetings please contact Tony Lee on 01427 753831 or Chris Trinder on 01427 872051. Details about the group are also on the Lincolnshire Trust web site under area groups.

Successful Concert by Joint Isle Choirs
The concert held in St Andrew’s Parish Church Epworth 24th February 2018 by The Isle Choral and guest choir The St Cecilia Singers raised in excess of £400 for the charity “Wish Upon a Star”. The choirs joined together for some numbers and many compliments were made on the composition by Musical Director, Robert Fields, of “Pie Jesus” when the St Cecilia Singers were “echoing” the Isle Choral in the wonderful Ringers Gallery in the church as part of the restoration work. Robert Fields gave a vote of thanks to Barbara Tune and her singers for their enthusiasm, Linda Lawcock from the charity and all the other people involved in the background. This was the first venture by the Choral Singers to invite another local choir to join us with the varied programme enjoyed by all so, in view of its success the committee of the Isle Choral have invited “Take Note” choir from Haxey to join us on 25th March in St Nicholas Church, Haxey, when the programme includes Faure’s Requiem and a supporting programme of popular music. For anyone interested in finding out more about the Isle Choral Singers please check us out on facebook, website or telephone enquiries to 01427 871485. Rehearsals are held every Monday from 7.00 pm in the Imperial Hall, Epworth.

This lovely boy is Charlie, a 6 year old Rottweiler cross Mastiff who has just come into the Rescue. Charlie is a very affectionate dog who loves people and loves his walks. He is good with other dogs and would be fine in a home with older children. Charlie is just one of our many dogs of different breeds and sizes who are all looking for a new home. Our adult dogs are neutered, fully vaccinated and micro-chipped. If you would like to come and meet Charlie- or any of our lovely dogs, please give Isle Rescue a call on 01427 728705 or come along for a visit during our opening hours.
