CASH GIVEAWAY!

The Nottingham (Building Society) in partnership with The Post newspaper have launched a cash giveaway and The Farm has been registered as a possible recipient.  All we have to do is collect tokens from The Post and send them in to have a possibility of winning.  If you can help by collecting tokens and sending them to the farm, that would be fantastic!  Thank you in anticipation.
