Cracking Start To Farm Attraction’s New Season The National Forest Adventure Farm is gearing up for a cracking start to the 2012 season with new attractions and some eggciting Easter activities.

Says Tom Robinson, “Although we only opened less than a year ago, we are already investing in new attractions for 2012. For younger visitors we are building a new junior play area with challenges designed for children up to the age of 7. All visitors will find a challenge in our new crazy golf course with its fun obstacles.”

The new attractions will be open in time for the start of the Easter holidays on 31 March. Throughout the Easter holidays daily from 31 March to 15 April visitors will be able to help with bottle feeding the lambs and seeing the new chicks which are hatching at this time. There is also a fun Easter trail around the farm with a tasty reward at the end. Children will also love getting stuck in to the Easter themed craft activities.

The Burton-Ashby magazine has been running for 2 years & I am stepping back from editing in order to expand Lots for Tots in other areas, allowing other parents like me to work from home, with amazingly flexible time to fit around children & school holidays.

Of course, this leaves the magazine open to offers. I’m looking for a parent to run an East Staffordshire Magazine & a North-West Leicestershire Magazine. Someone with: • Passion, confidence & enthusiasm • An eye for design • No other work commitments • A child/ children!

• A car, a computer & knows how to use it • The means to invest in a profitable business

In it’s trial year of franchising, the investment is half price at a very low £3000. You would be buying the business on a franchise basis for 5 years. A business that is already established in some of your area, much of the set-up work already done, has a reputation in the parenting & business community & has huge growth potential. If this excites you & you are ready to invest in order to not just make a living but to create the lifestyle you long for with the balance of home, children, enjoyable work & time to suit you, then please get in touch. burtonashby@lotsfortots.co.uk
