Sleaford Restaurant Creates up to 12 Jobs

A new restaurant located close to Sleaford’s town centre is due to open this Easter, specialising in both classic and modern British dishes. The restaurant at Mill Court, Carre Street is directly adjacent Monies Yard public car park and is located on one of the main arterial routes into the town centre. It is a new joint venture by Peter O’Connell who runs the Red Lion pub a Newton and his son Ryan O'Connell. The Red Lion is well known for creating a variety of dishes, using locally sourced produce. The restaurant was comprehensively refurbished and extended two years ago. It has many attractive features including high ceilings, exposed beams, featured stone walls, wooden flooring and contemporary lighting. The restaurant is ideally situated close to the River Slea, being only a few minutes walk from the Leisure Connection swimming pool and leisure complex, the Hub (National 3D arts centre) and Navigation Yard (an attractive tourist venue).

They would like to get in touch with any body who is about to make this move with their family, and are particularly interested in speaking to entrepreneurs who may consider setting up a business.

Diversity Ball

Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue presents the Diversity Ball on the 23rd May 2009 at the Epic Centre at Lincolnshire Showground. There will be dinner, a disco and a casino. It costs £40 a ticket. Please contact Lincolnshire Fire and Rescue for more information and to book your tickets on 01522 582222.

Annual Conference and Trade Fair

The CCSA is the body representing most of the retail outlets contained within the major Cathedrals and Parish Churches of the British Isles. Each year, in November, it holds its Annual Conference and Trade Fair - and this year it is in Lincoln, hosted by Lincoln Cathedral. In addition to the regular exhibitors we normally try to recruit exhibitors from the locality in which the Fair is being held. Very often - and especially for the smaller "craft" or "heritage goods" type of manufacturer/wholesaler - this exposure to a wider client base has proved very beneficial. In spite of the Association's name, and as any visit to the average Cathedral shop would testify, our members don't limit their stock to what would roughly be described as "religious" goods. There is thus a potential for a wide range of Lincolnshire manufacturers to reach a new niche market. Anyone wishing to apply for exhibition space should return the attached Application to the address on the form no later than the end of May (Click here for the application form). Spaces are already filling up quickly, so please don't hesitate.

Mark's Gospel Live

Mark's Gospel will be performed live at Lincoln Cathedral on Saturday 9th May, 2009.
