A Danger to Horses
09/12/14 12:30 Filed in:Alerts
My horses are kept on my own land in Kirton. Someone periodically comes onto my property and lets my horses out onto additional grazing. Please do not do this: you are endangering their health and ultimately their lives.
My horses are carefully managed to maintain their health and condition. By letting them into fields full of grass, you risk them developing laminitis, an extremely painful and ultimately fatal condition caused by over eating. Do not put my horses' lives at risk like this.
All gates are now locked and CCTV is being installed. I am saddened that I need to do this in a community like Kirton and Falkenham.

Thank you from Gary

A huge THANK YOU to all those who recently supported a fundraising cheese and wine event held at Kirton Church Hall on Friday 21st November in aid of the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance. I have been astounded how the people in the village have supported the Essex & Herts Ambulance service as well as my family and I during the time since my motorcycle accident.
Thanks to everyone's generosity in purchasing tickets, donating raffle prizes, purchasing items from the air ambulance stand and cash/online donations the evening raised a grand total of £ 1701.50 for the charity.
More good news is that whilst reviewing its charitable grants, the Parish Council, inspired by the information at the event, voted to grant Essex & Herts Air Ambulance £200.
Running alongside this event an ebay auction was also in place with all donations once again going to the Essex & Herts Ambulance service. Funds from this added to the above brings the grand total to £2711.43. This means together, as a community, we have donated enough to cover the full cost for the cost a life saving flight for someone in their moment of need.
So once again I would like to extend thanks to the community of Kirton, family, friends, plus Ian, the Air Ambulance volunteer, along with Waitrose who generously donated all of the cheese and wine for the event and Martin & Lorraine who helped in running the evening. I still cannot believe we have achieved such a good result. Thank you.

Saturday 16th August – Art Workshop Day at St. Ethelbert’s Church, Falkenham

Music will be played inside the Church to reflect the workshop, but this is a day about Art not Music which I thought people form Kirton and Falkenham might like to take part in. Read More...
