We are running this contest in partnership with the Forestry Commission who have made a fantastic job of reclaiming this land which was once the site of Kiveton Park Colliery and they encourage community involvement on the site.
We are planning to make this day as enjoyable as possible for all involved and I hope we will have the pleasure of your company at the next contest on this site.
