Beeston Hills Putting Green
Project Update
Whilst we wait for additional information required about the new permanent hut foundations, Sheringham Town Council have applied for a planning application which will allow for a temporary hut to be situated on the site, so the green can be opened. (Application: PF/24/0970 – Full details are on the NNDC website)
Work has already been completed on the greens, including a contractor being bought in to tackle the mole issues, re-seeding particularly on the sloped part of the green and new perimeter fencing and entrance gates will be installed very soon.
Although progress may seem slow and we have had numerous hurdles to manage along the way, we are doing everything we can to get the putting green will be opened as soon as possible.
Happy St George’s Day
St George was out walking
He met a dragon on a hill,
It was wise and wonderful
Too glorious to kill
It slept amongst the wild thyme
Where the oxlips and violets grow
Its skin was a luminous fire
That made the English landscape glow
Its tears were England’s crystal rivers
Its breath the mist on England’s moors
Its larder was England’s orchards,
Its house was without doors
St George was in awe of it
It was a thing apart
He hid the sleeping dragon
Inside every English heart
So on this day let’s celebrate
England’s valleys full of light,
The green fire of the landscape
Lakes shivering with delight
Let’s celebrate St George’s Day,
The dragon in repose;
The brilliant lark ascending,
The yew, the oak, the rose
