VANDALISM AT MIDDLE RASEN VILLAGE HALL Unfortunately, the new play area is not being respected by some of the village children. Throughout the summer, the protective fencing around the play area has been continually targeted for acts of vandalism. We have had to replace over 40 palings on the perimeter fence and a plastic notice sign, as well as repairing the fence railings along the car park. Stones thrown into the play area have to be continually swept from the safety surface. The Hall Trustees have now decided that any person identified carrying out acts of vandalism at the Hall and play area will be reported to the police and recompense for any damage caused will be pursued. P Dawson (Chairman). Oct 23
NEW PLAYGROUND IN MIDDLE RASEN The Village Halls new playground project has now been completed and is being enjoyed by many local children with their parents and grandparents, it was also nice to talk to a holidaying family from Hampshire who thoroughly enjoyed playing on the new play equipment. This project could not have been achieved without the considerable donation of time and equipment and I would like to express my thanks to David Pattison, Neill Hollingsworth, Pete Krakow, Nigel Appleyard and Welton Aggregates Ltd for the serious amount of time and effort they put into the project. The Village Hall is a registered charity, and it should be noted that this project cost in excess of £45000 of which only £18000 was funded by grant aid from Middle Rasen Parish Council and West Lindsey District Council the remaining funding coming from anonymous donations and fund raising efforts by the Village Hall Committee. Please note the fund-raising activities are still ongoing and support for these would be gratefully appreciated. Peter Dawson (Chairman)
I must congratulate the village hall committee for providing Middle Rasen with a fabulous playing facility for children within the area. My friend, Helen and I took our grandchildren to the park recently – we all had a lovely afternoon. The park was being enjoyed by lots of children. Thank You.

A short history of the Middle Rasen's Village Hall and the adjacent large Playing Field.John Wilkinson was a landowner in parts of Newport,Lincoln & Middle Rasen. He owned 2 1/2 acres of land in two fields between Marsh Lane (Manor Drive) & Dungeon Lane ( Wilkinson Drive) & at the primary school in Middle Rasen. In 1889 the two fields were let to Mr.A.D.Smith for £ 4 per annum.In 1914 Mr.A.D.Smith gave notice to quit the 2 paddocks. These were to be let seperately, with Mr.Swaby taking the larger field at a rent of £5 p.a. & Mr.Pixley the smaller field at a rent of £3 p.a. Records show that in 1919 Caistor Rural Distrct Council wrote to the Charity to ask if there was any land available for housing. In1923 Mr.Pixley gave notice of his rent of the land which was then taken by a Mr. Duke. A letter from 1937 shows that Rural Community Council Schemes wrote to the charity for financial help in building Village Halls. That must have had little success because later we see (1946) that the charity decided to sell 1 acre 7 perches to the Caistor Rural District Council for £100, provided a strip of land of 7 yards width was left for access to the larger field. This in turn was then rented by the Middle Rasen Parish Council for garden allotments and Caistor Rural District Council asked to visit the plot of land in Dungeon Lane to see if it suitable for housing. ( now the site of some senior citizens bungalows). In 1963 Charity Commisssion were asked for permission to use the larger field as a playing field & alterations to the scheme. It was proposed and agreed that application be made to use the field owned by the Charity as a site for children's playing field also for a Village Hall Pavilion and providing sporting activities for the parish. This information be given to the then constituted Village Hall Committee who purchased the field for £650 from the John Wilkinson Charity. Karate Meet at the Village Hall through the year.
