TEN YEARS AGO: Skegness Scouts help with sensory garden, plus medieval-themed fundraiser

Here are two photographs that appeared in the Skegness Standard 10 years ago this week.
Members of the 1st Skegness Scouts are pictured helping build a sensory garden at the Skegness Eco Centre 10 years ago. The youngsters had already held a bag-packing fundraiser at B&Q in support of the project, collecting £68. Scout leader Sylvia Myers said: “The scouts have never done something like this before and it’s quite a big challenge, but I am sure lots of people will benefit from using the sensory garden.”Members of the 1st Skegness Scouts are pictured helping build a sensory garden at the Skegness Eco Centre 10 years ago. The youngsters had already held a bag-packing fundraiser at B&Q in support of the project, collecting £68. Scout leader Sylvia Myers said: “The scouts have never done something like this before and it’s quite a big challenge, but I am sure lots of people will benefit from using the sensory garden.”

One shows Scouts getting their hands dirty at the Skegness Eco Centre, the other of a medieval-themed troupe outside the Hildreds shopping centre.

The Northcote Heavy Horse Centre, near Spilsby, held one of its medieval-themed fundraisers 10 years ago. The event – which included medieval riding skill at arms, a costume parade, equestrian vaulting, fire breathing and archery demonstrations – would go on to raise £2,000 for the animal charity. Pictured above is promotional activity outside the Hildreds shopping centre, in Skegness, ahead of the event.The Northcote Heavy Horse Centre, near Spilsby, held one of its medieval-themed fundraisers 10 years ago.
