Rainbow Summer Work Programme

The Rainbow Summer Work Party programme is starting this Sunday the 7th February, and we are seeking keen helpers to come up and assist with a wide variety of tasks...

Don't plan anything this weekend ...

Except coming up to Rainbow! Forget the garden, forget the beach, we're expecting loads of fresh, cold, new snow just for us :)

Wow! Perfect Spring Conditions ...

Had a great day up at the field yesterday, Sunday, in perfect spring conditions - there's still loads of fast spring corn snow to be had!

Rail and Jump Jam

The Cheapskates Burton Rail and Jump Jam was held over the weekend with perfect weather. Spectacular Jumps and Rails made for a great competition.
