 Sibsey Free School invited us back again to participate in their popular Ready, Steady, Cook evening. The theme this year was Healthy Eating and the children did themselves proud with a vast range of delicious foods. We decided to do a picnic this year.  Sadie and her Teddy bear friends got in on the act.
Scott Dalton from BBC Radio Lincolnshire attended the evening talking to the children and watched them learning CPR. BBC Radio Lincolnshire is running a campaign to try and get 10,000+ people in Lincolnshire trained in CPR after a staff member had collapsed in Lincoln and a bystander saved her life by doing CPR.
 These are just a few of the culinary delights available and the highlight of the evening was the Ready Steady Cook competition.  A bag full of Twiddle Mitts made their way to the Orthopaedic ward at our local hospital.
This is the second batch we have taken to them. They were very pleased with them. They get many elderly patients on the ward who have dementia or become fretful after surgery after finding themselves in a strange surrounding. The mitts give them comfort and something to toy with.  We have two members of the Skegness RNLI come and give us a talk in March. It was days before they were receiving their new lifeboat. Yesterday I had the chance to go and take a look at her. She just about squeezes into the boathouse and already she has been called out on 3 'shouts'. I have to say she is beautiful, sitting elegantly on her tractor. She has the ability of coming ashore herself where her tractor can then load her so she is ready to be relaunched at ease.
 A huge well done to four of our amazing members aka 'Sibsey Swans' who took part in the Marie Curie 2017 Swimathon on Sunday at the Geoff Moulder Leisure Pool, Boston and between them they clocked up an amazing 200 lengths/5km.   Off the Beeton Track was the talk given by our guest speaker Sadie Hirst. Sadie is an Artisan baker and with her husband is part of the awarding winning 'Hirst Butchers Shop' in Woodhall Spa. She has a great knowledge of the history of cookery books and provided us a very entertaining evening.
 Sadie Hirst is an award winning baker and member of the British Society of Baking. With her Husband Russell they a have a multi award winning butchers shop in Woodhall Spa. She is a keen collector of cookery books and is especially interested in historic local recipes and regional specialities.  Sibsey Sadie is eager to meet her namesake and along with her fellow Members are looking forward to meeting Sadie Hirst at our next meeting on March 8th.  Exciting news for us as we won 1st prize at the Lincolnshire South Federation Make and Bake Show at Navenby this year. Well Done Team. It looks fabulous.   Two Sibsey members joined Radio Lincolnshire today with their WalkaMillion. The guided walk took us around Boston and we got to see parts that are normally hidden away. We saw the tide out on the River Witham as it makes its way out to sea, got to see in side Skirbeck Church and allowed inside Hussey Tower and the chance to climb up the tower.
