This is an article I wrote during four weeks of work experience whilst I was at the local papers the Spalding Guardian and the Lincolnshire Free press:

New kitchen for Memorial hall: 

Memorial Hall in Whaplode St Catherine has had its kitchen refurbished- and is now a much more attractive proposition to hire. Thanks to fundraising efforts from the community and parish council, including a Christmas party, table top sale and weekly hobby clubs and coffee mornings, there was a donation from Holbeach Parish Council of £1000. The overhaul cost £3000. The project was helped by the payback scheme where youths who have offended helped with the decoration. The fresh features include news sinks and cookers and plans are being made to buy new catering tables. Whaplode Parish Council secretary Mandy Rye said “The new kitchen is lovely.” The hall is full equipped for the parties with cutlery and plates supplied and is available for hire.
