Woodside Farm Stables riding for the disabled ry as registered Charity No. 1074298 in November, 2018.
Based in Rainworth and run entirely by Volunteers, has been offering exercise, therapy and fun through horse-riding for more than 47 years. Originally supported by the riding school which closed in 2009, the Charity celebrates its 20th anniversa-

Stars in Ravenshead The stars were out in Ravenshead on Friday 13th April when Los Pacaminos featuring Paul Young gave an excellent concert enjoyed by a full house at the Village Hall. Catering for the evening was provided by Caroline of Pig Yourself Silly, www. pigyourselfsilly.co.uk and when the crowd had gone it was time for Paul Young and others to get stuck into fabulous hot dogs and beef burgers.
