It?s not that unusual to ask someone who is making a big deal about creating a local, community based enterprise if they have links to the local community. I imagine he?s asking the guys if at least they already live here or was it just a case of spot the opportunity to start up a project.



What is the aim of having a locally supplied meat source by the way? Besides being local (which doesn?t mean very much) what specific provisions / requirements will be put in place to ensure quality / reduced environmental impact / good treatment of livestock (assuming these are your aims)?

Hello all,

Yes, I have lived here for more than 15 years. Sourcing meat as locally as possible is basic common sense. From an environmental point of view, we feel it is better to buy, lets say chicken from an organic farm in Kent 15 miles away, then it is to buy from a farm in, let's say, Leicestershire.. lower carbon footprint, easier to visit the farm to ensure good treatment and quality. However, the overriding aim is still to provide the highest quality product as possible, so we will obviously be flexible.

Cheers,

Nonold

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
